5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) Market Size(US$)
M= millions and B=billions
Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), also 5-(hydroxymethyl) furfural, is an organic compound formed by the dehydration of certain sugars. It is a white low-melting solid (although commercial samples are often yellow) which is highly soluble in both water and organic solvents. The molecule consists of a furan ring, containing both aldehyde and alcohol functional groups. HMF can form in sugar-containing food, particularly as a result of heating or cooking and this formation has been the topic of significant study as HMF is regarded as being potentially carcinogenic to humans. Hydroxymethylfurfural is a marker of poor or overlong storage of foods such as honey. It is produced industrially on a modest scale as a carbon-neutral feedstock for the production of fuels and other chemicals.
Market Demand Growth: As global demand for sustainable and eco-friendly products continues to rise, coupled with advancements in biomass conversion technology, the market demand for 5-HMF, a bio-based platform compound, is expected to expand further. It can serve as a raw material for producing bio-based plastics such as polyethylene furandicarboxylate (PEF), which can replace traditional petrochemical plastics, aligning with environmental trends and driving market growth.
Technology Innovation-Driven: Currently, 5-HMF production faces high costs due to complex chemical reactions and expensive catalysts. In the future, innovations in catalytic processes and the development of new biomass conversion technologies will focus on improving production efficiency and reducing costs, thereby enhancing the commercial viability of 5-HMF production and promoting market development.
Expansion of application areas: In addition to existing applications in the fragrance and pharmaceutical industries, further research may uncover new application areas for 5-HMF. For example, in the food industry, its use as a natural food additive and preservative is expected to expand further. Growing consumer demand for natural and organic food ingredients will drive the rapid development of the food-grade 5-HMF market.
The global 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) market is strategically segmented by company, region (country), by Type, and by Application. This report empowers stakeholders to capitalize on emerging opportunities, optimize product strategies, and outperform competitors through data-driven insights on sales, revenue, and forecasts across regions, by Type, and by Application for 2020-2031.

Description
The global 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) market size was US$ 95.5 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 643 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 35.8% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
By 2025, the evolving U.S. tariff policy is poised to inject considerable uncertainty into the global economic landscape. This report delves into the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses across the globe, evaluating their impacts on 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations.
Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), also 5-(hydroxymethyl) furfural, is an organic compound formed by the dehydration of certain sugars. It is a white low-melting solid (although commercial samples are often yellow) which is highly soluble in both water and organic solvents. The molecule consists of a furan ring, containing both aldehyde and alcohol functional groups. HMF can form in sugar-containing food, particularly as a result of heating or cooking and this formation has been the topic of significant study as HMF is regarded as being potentially carcinogenic to humans. Hydroxymethylfurfural is a marker of poor or overlong storage of foods such as honey. It is produced industrially on a modest scale as a carbon-neutral feedstock for the production of fuels and other chemicals.
Market Demand Growth: As global demand for sustainable and eco-friendly products continues to rise, coupled with advancements in biomass conversion technology, the market demand for 5-HMF, a bio-based platform compound, is expected to expand further. It can serve as a raw material for producing bio-based plastics such as polyethylene furandicarboxylate (PEF), which can replace traditional petrochemical plastics, aligning with environmental trends and driving market growth.
Technology Innovation-Driven: Currently, 5-HMF production faces high costs due to complex chemical reactions and expensive catalysts. In the future, innovations in catalytic processes and the development of new biomass conversion technologies will focus on improving production efficiency and reducing costs, thereby enhancing the commercial viability of 5-HMF production and promoting market development.
Expansion of application areas: In addition to existing applications in the fragrance and pharmaceutical industries, further research may uncover new application areas for 5-HMF. For example, in the food industry, its use as a natural food additive and preservative is expected to expand further. Growing consumer demand for natural and organic food ingredients will drive the rapid development of the food-grade 5-HMF market.
