Polyethylene terephthalate is a high-gloss, crack-resistant transparent plastic. These are general-purpose thermoplastic polymers produced by the reaction of mono ethylene glycol (MEG) and purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and are known for their excellent combination of mechanical, thermal, chemical, and dimensional stability. The main product types of polyethylene terephthalate are virgin and recycled. Recycling is the process of reusing something after undergoing a series of changes or treatments. The applications are beverages, sheets & films, consumer goods, food packaging, and others (cosmetic bottles and household products). The end-use industries are packaging, electrical & electronics, automotive, construction, and others (material handling and strapping). The global polyethylene terephthalate market is segmented - 1) By Product Type: Virgin, Recycle 2) By Application: Beverages, Sheets & Films, Consumer Goods, Food Packaging, Other Applications (Cosmetic Bottles and Household Products) 3) By End User Industry: Packaging, Electrical & Electronics, Automotive, Construction, Other End Use Industries (Material Handling and Strapping) The global polyethylene terephthalate market size will grow from $39.18 billion in 2022 to $42.71 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of the global polyethylene terephthalate is expected to grow from $59.39 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 8.6%. The rising demand for polyethylene terephthalate in food and beverage packaging, such as carbonated soft drink packaging, contributed to the growth of the polyethylene terephthalate market. The increasing demand for bottled drinks and glass and metal container replacements finds no better alternatives to polyethylene terephthalate due to its versatility in shape and size. According to the Plastics Industry Association, a US-based plastic industry association, the plastics manufacturing shipments saw a 0.9% increase in 2020 and observed a 2.2% increase in 2021.

Ltd., Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited, JBF Industries Ltd., Jiangsu Sanfangxiang Group, Lotte Chemical Corporation, Octal, Reliance Industries Ltd., Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), and Sinopec Group. Strict regulations on the use of plastic are a major challenge in the polyethylene terephthalate market. Governments across the world are imposing restrictions on plastic products such as bottles and single-use plastics and are raising awareness about recycling plastic materials. For instance, in June 2022, the US Interior Department, the executive department of the US federal government announced that it will ban the sale of single-use plastic on public lands, national parks by 2032.. Furthermore, according to the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, India produces about 33 million pounds of plastic waste each day, and 60 percent of it is recycled. That’s approximately 24 pounds of waste per person per year, compared with 62 pounds globally. Imposing strict regulations on manufacturing and recycling plastic products has a negative impact on the polyethylene terephthalate market. Major companies are increasingly manufacturing bio-based PET using partially recyclable materials. Bio-based PET is a lightweight, recyclable, biodegradable, and reusable bioplastic material derived from biomass. It consists of 30% plant-derived ethanol glycol and 70% terephthalic acid derived from fossils. This is also used for the packaging of soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, food products, cosmetics, pharmaceutical products, and edible oils. The desire to use environmentally friendly products and stringent regulations have encouraged the use of bio-friendly products in industries and have resulted in an increased demand for bio-based PET. For instance, Eastlon consists of 30% renewable raw materials. Bio-PET has the same mechanical and thermal properties as fossil PET as a drop-in bioplastic.Applications include transparent packaging and bottles. Eastlon is 100% recyclable. A demonstration plant with an expected capacity of 18,000 tons of biomass will be built in Ontario (Canada) and will start producing 100% bio-based PET bottles by 2020. In January 2020, DAK Americas, a US-based company and the largest integrated producer of PET resins in the world and the main producer of polyester staple fibers, headquartered in North Carolina, United States, acquired Perpetual Recycling Solutions for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition of Perpetual and rPET capacity confirms Alpek Polyester’s ongoing dedication to sustainable product offerings to meet consumer demand for rPET content.

Plastic films and sheets refer to a continuous form of plastic material that is thin and wound on a core, or cut into sheets. Plastic films are thinner in nature than plastic sheets and have a thickness of 0.6 mm to 0.10 mm or thicker. These are used by various industries as these sheets are environmentally friendly, multi-purpose plastic material, wrinkle and weather resistant, reusable, durable in nature, and recyclable. The main types of plastic films and sheets are polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, rubber, and other types. Polypropylene is used to create the synthetic resin known as polypropylene. The various applications include food packaging, stretch film, shrink film, heavy-duty bags, film on a reel, and other applications.
