Polyethylene Terephthalate, which is also called PET is a thermoplastic polymer resin produced by the reaction of raw materials monoethylene glycol (MEG) and purified terephthalic acid. The material exhibits exceptional barrier properties towards moisture and water. Polyethylene Terephthalate finds applications across diverse industries such as automotive, food, and beverage packaging, electronics, among others.

Recently, Reliance Industries have announced to open two petrochemical plants in Dahej, Gujrat, for making polyester plastic and would also commission a 650KTA polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin capacity and purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plant. It will increase their global share by almost four percent and would also lower the operational cost and achieve full chain margins.

Which are Some Prominent Drivers Spearheading Polyethylene Terephthalate Market Growth?

Increasing demand for Polyethylene Terephthalate from the food and beverage packaging sector like in carbonated soft drinks packaging, increased demand for packaged food due to rise in consumption of frozen and processed food, rise in demand for electronics and automotive applications/industries, and eco-friendly substitution are the most important driving force in the Polyethylene Terephthalate market.

Also, rapid urbanization, innovative packaging, and high economic growth are contributing to increasing the demand for Polyethylene Terephthalate regardless of the geographical location.

What are the Challenges Faced by the Polyethylene Terephthalate Industry?

Stringent environmental norms and regulations by the government and the threat of substitutes are acting as a barrier for the Polyethylene Terephthalate market. Polyethylene terephthalate is partially derived from crude oils, therefore influenced by the price hike of crude oil in the global market. Moreover, the non-biodegradable property of PET creates a challenge for market growth.

Why is Asia-Pacific Emerging as an Opportunistic Polyethylene Terephthalate Market?

The food & beverage sector has been beholding robust growth in the Asia-Pacific region. The growing income levels and the swelling population levels are the key factors that have been steering the growth of the food industry in the province.

Owing to the enhanced living standards, the food and beverage sector in China is experiencing a boost. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for packaged, ready-to-cook, and ready-to-eat food, as well as an array of beverages.

Over the years, swelling consumption of packaging material and demand for sustainable and recyclable material is likely to drive the market in the coming future. Furthermore, with enormous scope for growth in the region, novel investments are being observed in the food and beverage sector, envisioned to set up individual confectionaries, food processing, and beverage making facilities.

How is Europe Contributing to the Growth of the Polyethylene Terephthalate Market?

The plastics industry is vital for Europe’s economy and its recovery plan. Together, the plastic raw materials producers, plastics converters, plastics recyclers, and machinery manufacturers, represent a value-chain that employs over 1.5 million people in Europe, through more than 55,000 companies, most of them SMEs, operating in all European countries.

Owing to the robust partnerships between an interrelated plastics value chain and hefty investments by all local and global investors, the PET market will adopt innovative ideas to offer sustainable solutions.

Likewise, recycling rates of plastic packaging waste in Europe range between 26% and 52%. European Union (EU) has published the new Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste which sets higher recycling targets per material, along with a new calculation method of recycling performances. Thus, the increment in the adoption of recycling of plastic waste is burgeoning the demand for the PET market.
