Market Insights
Due to eco-friendly nature and superior properties than PET, bio-PET is witnessing huge demand from various end-use industries such as food & beverages, cosmetics & pharmaceuticals, automotive, textile and so on. Traditionally, bio-PET comprises 30% bio-based MEG and 70% petroleum-based resins however, many companies are investing to increase the production of bio-based MEG to eradicate the problem of inconsistent supply of raw material for the development of 100% bio-based PET. For instance, Avantium invested in the construction of bio-MEG demonstration plant in the Netherlands, to ramp up the bio-based mono-ethylene glycol (MEG) production made directly from renewable sugars. Bio-based polyethylene terephthalate can be used in all existing application of conventional PET such as beverages containers, food containers, non-food containers, films & sheets, moulded parts & components, and fabrics. In 2017, beverages containers accounted for the largest share, followed by films & sheets and food containers. Properties such as good physical, optical, and lightweight properties along with environment friendly nature make bio-based polyethylene terephthalate a key material in these applications. Beverages containers segment is also identified as the fastest growing application of bio-PET resin during the forecast period. Rising consumer awareness about the use of green products, and government efforts for reducing regarding GHG emission market to achieve climate and energy objectives projected to catapult the bio-PET market demand in coming years. However, the high cost of bio-ethylene glycol is still and emergence of competitive substitute such as polyethylene furanoate (PEF) expected to restrain the market growth in coming years.
