Market Segmentation 

The MRFR report provides a complete segmental analysis of the polyetherimide market report on the basis of end use industry, form, type, and process. 

Based on process, the polyetherimide market is segmented into extrusion, foam molding, blow molding, and injection molding. Of these, both the blow molding and injection molding segments collectively will have the largest share in the market over the forecast period. This is owing to the growing demand for injection-molded products with superior thermal and electrical properties in telecommunication and electrical electronics industries. 

Based on type, the polyetherimide market is segmented into reinforced and unreinforced. The reinforced segment is again segmented into fiberglass and carbon fiber. Of these, the reinforced segment will dominate the market over the forecast period. This is on account of the fact that the dimensional stability and high mechanical strength at elevated temperatures make the reinforced polyetherimide suitable for various applications in various end use industries such as electrical electronics, aerospace, and automotive. 

Based on form, the polyetherimide market is segmented into films, granules, rods, and sheets. Of these, the sheets segment will lead the market over the forecast period followed by rods. This is owing to the growing demand for polyetherimide sheets in the aerospace and automotive industries. 

Based on end-use industry, the polyetherimide market is segmented into electrical and electronics, telecommunication, marine, aerospace, food and beverage, medical, automotive, and others. Of these, the automotive segment will have the maximum share in the market over the forecast period. This is owing to the growing demand for polyetherimide in the aerospace industry.
