In the last decade, PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) saw a growth of 7% according to GBI Research, a chemical intelligence provider. The company said, “The demand for the flexible packaging chemical is a result of its diverse application in a range of new products in the FMGC (fast moving consumer goods) and food sectors.”
Global PET demand showed a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% between years 2000 and 2010. According to GBI, this upward trend is likely to continue, with global PET demand expected to reach 23,452,281 by 2020.
At 40.6%, the Asia-Pacific region showed the highest demand for PET. As a result of growing petrochemical product manufacturing in China, GBI anticipates demand to increase to 47.8% by 2020. By this time, GBI expects China to emerge the PET market leader due to major PET producers investing in operations in the country. Other countries expected to see an increase in PET markets are Brazil, Russia and India.
GBI predicts further growth in flexible packaging due to growing demand for greater product protection and longer shelf life. PET packaging will see an increased share in the packaging sector in the next decade with better gas barriers and UV light protection which contributes to extended product shelf life. New hot-filling processes too are creating potential for PET packaging of pasta and sauces.
Further insight into the Asian PET sector outlook for the coming year including updates on the markets and new applications and technology developments will be provided in Ho Chi Minh City on 19-20 November 2012 at PET Outlook for Asia 2013.
