What is Polyethylene Terephthalate?

Polyethylene Terephthalate or PET exists as a thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family. Through purified terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate, ethylene glycol creates it using a polycondensation reaction. PET has characteristics of high strength-to-weight ratio, high dimensional stability, chemical resistance properties, clarity, and low moisture and gas permeability, for easy processing. One of the most widely used plastics, it is made into fibers, films, bottles, and engineering resins, with innumerable and diverse applications in packaging (especially beverage bottles), textiles (polyester fabric), films for packaging and industrial applications, engineering plastics used in automotive and electronic applications, medical devices, and other uses. It is fully recyclable and can be modified to give it special properties.

What is Driving the Polyethylene Terephthalate Market?

Demand for packaging in the beverage industry is the primary reason for PET plastic market to grow worldwide. PET bottles, due to their lightweight, strength, and low-cost are ideal for use in the beverage industry. The bottled water and soft drink markets offer prime opportunities for market growth. In addition, textile industry demand for polyester fibers used in the production of garments, home furnishings, and industrial fabrics drives the market.

Food packaging, pharmaceuticals and personal care products are increasingly using PET because of its safety and barrier properties. Sustainability and the circular economy led to developing recycled PET (rPET) and bio-based PET alternatives that appeal more to environmentally conscious consumers and brands.

PET sees increasing use in automotive lightweight components, electronics enclosures and 3D printing filaments. New manufacturing technologies are extending its processing and mechanical properties. Coupled with government mandates for recycled content, these factors indicate that PET will be a growing segment of world-wide industrial materials.
