Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate Market: Growth Drivers

Robust shift for sustainability likely to spur market growth

Government initiatives on growing plastic waste and support for amorphous PET-based plastic have enhanced the performance of the amorphous PET market. In addition, PET is the most commonly used plastic on the earth. According to data revealed by Plastic Ingenuity, almost every recycling program in the US accepts PET materials. The Life Cycle Inventory Study reported in 2010 that “for every pound of amorphous PET flake used, energy use is reduced by 84%; greenhouse gas emissions by 71%. This may act as one of the key drivers responsible for the growth of the market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the growing young population across the globe, increase in the demand for various clothing, and rise in fashion consciousness among people have led them to opt for moisture barriers based on amorphous PET which is used as a fiber for making various types of clothes.

Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate Market: Restraints

High production cost to hamper market expansion

Fluctuations in the prices of raw materials for amorphous polyethylene terephthalate production have hampered the market. In addition, cut breaks in the import and export of PET-based plastic in regions such as North America, Europe, and others are expected to dampen the market in upcoming years. Moreover, higher lead time and tooling costs involved in injection molding technology and recycling process for amorphous PET are likely to act as restrain for the global amorphous polyethylene terephthalate market during the forecast period.

Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate Market: Opportunities

Robust demand from packaging industry to bring up growth avenues for market

The growing population across the globe, increase in the number of working women, and rising demand for ready-to-eat packaged food have given way to the amorphous PET industry. Amorphous PET-based plastics are extensively used in the manufacturing of plastic containers owing to their transparency and good physical properties. This is projected to propel the growth of the global amorphous PET market in the upcoming years. In addition, the growing food and beverages industry across the world is driving the potential sales of the amorphous PET market. For instance, according to an article published by IBIS World, in the year August 2022, the industry revenue is expected to fall at a compound annual rate of 0.9% over the five years through 2022-23 to £935.4 million. This factor will increase the potential sales of the amorphous PET market in forthcoming years.

Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate Market: Challenges

Fluctuations in the prices of raw material

Amorphous polyethylene terephthalate is comparatively more expensive than conventional polymers. In addition, the availability of alternative cost-effective plastics is expected to act as a challenging factor for the amorphous polyethylene terephthalate market. However, the stringent government norms and regulation on the plastic ban is expected to hamper the overall market growth. Durability of amorphous PET material is expected to increase environmental pollution. On the other hand, manufacturers are switching to the alternative substitute for amorphous PET due to government programs for sustainable and plastic-free environment.
