Global Polyethylene Imine Market Growth 2025-2031
The global Polyethylene Imine market size is predicted to grow from US$ 445 million in 2025 to US$ 522 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.7% from 2025 to 2031.
Polyethylenimine (PEI) is a versatile polymer characterized by its repeating units composed of amine groups linked by aliphatic CH2CH2 spacers. This structure can take two primary forms: linear and branched. Linear polyethyleneimines consist solely of secondary amines, while branched PEIs contain a mix of primary, secondary, and tertiary amino groups. Additionally, dendrimeric forms of PEI have been developed, featuring branched structures that enhance their functional capabilities. PEI's unique polycationic character lends it various useful properties, making it suitable for a wide range of applications across multiple industries. Its industrial production allows for large-scale use in processes that capitalize on its reactivity and ability to form complexes with anionic substances.
