Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Market is Estimated To Witness High Growth Owing To Rising Demand for Packaged Food and Beverages
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Market
The Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 46.46 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Polyethylene terephthalate, commonly referred to as PET, is a thermoplastic
polymer resin of the polyester family that is clear, tough, and versatile. It
is widely used for packaging applications such as bottles for food and
beverages due to its desirable properties such as barrier protection, lightweight,
rigidity, transparency and moldability.
Market key trends:
One of the major trend driving the growth of the PET market is the rising
demand for packaged food and beverages. Due to growing urbanization and
changing lifestyles, there is growing demand for ready-to-eat foods and
packaged beverages. PET is a preferred material for packaging such products due
to its barrier protection, impact resistance and relatively inexpensive cost
compared to other materials. This has led to PET being extensively used for
packaging bottled water, carbonated soft drinks, juices, cooking oils and other
food items. The lightweight properties of PET also reduce transportation and
logistical costs for packaged food and beverage producers.
Porter’s Analysis
Threat of new entrants: The PET market requires large capital investments and
economies of scale which create barriers for new companies. Bargaining power of
buyers: Buyers have moderate bargaining power due to availability of substitute
products like glass, HDPE, etc. Bargaining power of suppliers: A few big
suppliers exist for key raw materials like paraxylene and terephthalic acid
giving them some bargaining power. Threat of new substitutes: Substitute
materials like glass, HDPE, etc. pose threats but PET maintains lead due to
attributes like lightweight and shatter resistance. Competitive rivalry:
Intense competition exists among key players to gain market share.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths: PET is lightweight, durable, shatter resistant and 100% recyclable.
It has wide applications in bottles, films and fibers industries.
Weaknesses: PET degrades into microplastics on
exposure to sun. Developing fully circular economy remains a challenge.
Opportunities: Growth in non-beverage applications and
demand for recycled PET presents opportunities.
Threats: Substitute materials and stringent
regulations around plastic usage and recycling pose threats.
Key Takeaways
Global
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Market Demand is expected to witness
high growth, exhibiting CAGR of 6.7%
over the forecast period, due to increasing demand from packaging industry for
PET bottles, food service containers and thermoformed packaging solutions.
