Asia Pacific Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Market Demand & Forecast Analysis, 2016-2032

Introduction

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is a member of the polyester family and is classified as a thermoplastic polymer. PET is produced from ethylene glycol and dimethyl terephthalate in a transesterification reaction and can be transparent or semi-crystalline. As of 2021, the Asia Pacific region held a dominant share of in the global PET market. This region is expected to experience substantial growth from 2022 to 2032, primarily driven by the strong demand for PET in the packaging industry. Asia Pacific, being the largest producer and consumer of PET globally, is projected to maintain its dominant position throughout the forecast period until 2032. The region is set to witness a substantial increase in capacity, with an estimated addition of over 7,400 kilo tons in span of 10 years.

PET is widely used in the packaging industry due to its strength, lightweight, durability, chemical inertness, and recyclability properties. PET packaging is utilized in various sectors such as baked goods, electronics, gift packs, toys, household items, cosmetics, and personal care products. In the textile industry, PET, known as polyester fibers, is used in apparel and as an insulating layer in sportswear and workwear. PET is also employed as an insulating material in the back sheet of photovoltaic modules due to its optical properties. The marine and aviation industries also utilize PET to reduce weight and increase fuel efficiency. Other applications include the pharmaceutical industry, 3D printing, magnetic materials, and pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes. 

The PET demand in the Asia Pacific region is driven by its widespread utilization in the packaging industry. The food and beverage sector dominates the PET market, benefiting from its attributes of strength, durability, lightweight nature, and resistance to impact and corrosion. The increasing awareness surrounding food shelf life has emerged as a key driving force behind the demand for PET in the food packaging sector. Notably, investments have been directed towards advanced packaging technologies, including active and intelligent packaging, aimed at extending product shelf life. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an upsurge in the consumption of packaged food products.

In recent years, governments across the Asia Pacific have proposed bans on usage of various single-use plastic items, such as plastic bags, cutlery, straws, and food containers, driven by concerns over environmental sustainability. The move towards reducing plastic pollution and promote a more sustainable future has significant implications for the Asia Pacific PET market, as PET is widely used in the production of various single-use plastic products.

Recent Developments

In June 2023, Indo Rama Synthetics Limited successfully expanded its bottle grade PET resin facility by 700 tons per day at its recently constructed plant in Butibori, Nagpur, India. This expansion, along with the existing plants in Haldia and Karnal, strengthens IVL s position as leading PET resins supplier in India with installed capacity of over 1000 kilo tons

In July 2021, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, based in Tokyo, entered into an agreement with Kuraray, providing them with a patent for biomass-based polyester. 

Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation of Tokyo will provide its patent on biomass-based polyester to Kuraray and signed an agreement with Kuraray in July 2021.
