Скачать или смотреть Global PET (Resin) Market Report- 2012 Edition: Koncept Analytics

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a plastic resin and form of polyester widely used for packaging foods and beverages, especially convenience-sized soft drinks, juices and water. Due to its varied applications, PET consumption increased significantly in the last 15 years over other alternative packaging materials (aluminium, glass, paper and others). The global PET resin industry (in terms of capacity) grew at a CAGR of 7.8% over the period 2005-2011. The key factors to aid this growth include growing population, urbanization in developing countries, rising disposable income and improving FMCG sector. Moreover, the emergence of new application areas for PET resin, like alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well as pharmaceuticals, will be contributing to its growth in future years.

Asia is the largest PET resin producer followed by North America, Europe and MEA. The demand of recycled PET (RPET) has increased over the past few years due to high virgin PET prices and new PET reclamation plants getting operational. Recent high volatility in energy and raw materials prices and growing concern about carbon footprint and sustainability have encouraged companies to use renewable and bio-based feedstocks for the production of PET. Challenges faced by the industry include high PTA (Purified Terephthalic acid) and MEG (Monoethylene Glycol) prices and reduction in bottle weights.

The worldwide PET resin market is fragmented with top five manufacturers with approximately one-third of the total market share. The North American PET market is consolidated with top 3 companies accounting for nearly 90% of the global market share. Globally, Indorama is the market leader and other major companies include Alpek, M&G, Sinopec, Jiangsu, Far Eastern, China Resources and Nan Ya.
