Growth in environmental concerns coupled with increasing consumer consciousness regarding the use of sustainable solutions and recycling supports the growth of the amorphous polyethylene terephthalate industry. The greater need to decrease the environmental impact of packaging has accelerated the growth of the industry.
APET is increasingly being used in packaging solutions for improved performance, effective barrier properties, and greater resistance to puncture and temperature. Plastic products and solutions have wide applications in numerous industries, which has encouraged governments across the globe to regulate and reduce the use of plastics.
Organizations are also turning toward recycled and bio-based plastics to address environmental concerns. Greater initiatives for the adoption of sustainable solutions have been observed across several nations. For instance, India introduced a plastics pact for encouraging and motivating small and large businesses to support a circular system for plastics in September 2021.
Consumers are turning toward packaging solutions that are easy to use, lighter and durable, increasing the demand for APET. It offers high strength, low weight, flexibility, and affordability. Consumers are spending more time ‘on the go’, which has increased the demand for packaged food products owing to time constraints.
The rise in disposable income of consumers, changing lifestyles, and rising middle-class population in developing countries are factors contributing to the growth of the amorphous polyethylene terephthalate market.
The outbreak of COVID-19 influenced the growth of the industry through a disrupted supply chain, reduced workforce, and restrictions on import and export activities. Travel restrictions across the world affected the transportation of raw materials and finished products.
Negative impact on industries such as automotive and electronics resulted in decreased demand for APET. However, the market is expected to experience growth during the forecast period owing to growth in e-commerce platforms, supportive government regulations, and favorable environmental policies.
