The polyethylene terephthalate (PET) market refers to the global industry focused on producing, distributing, and utilizing PET, a versatile thermoplastic polymer extensively used in various applications such as packaging, textiles, and automotive components. Its lightweight, durability, and recyclability have made PET a preferred material in industries seeking sustainable and cost-effective solutions. The increasing demand for PET in beverage packaging fueled the market's growth due to its excellent barrier properties and aesthetic appeal. The rising consumer awareness of eco-friendly and recyclable materials has further bolstered the adoption of PET, particularly in the food and beverage and consumer goods sectors. Technological advancements in recycling processes, coupled with the development of bio-based PET, are expected to contribute significantly to market expansion. However, the industry faces challenges such as fluctuating raw material prices and environmental concerns associated with plastic waste. Regulatory measures aimed at reducing plastic usage and implementing stringent recycling standards pose additional constraints on market growth.
The bottled water segment accounted for the largest share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Recent Development
- In May 2024, Pact Collective and Eastman announced the qualification of clean, multicolor polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste as feedstock for Eastman’s methanolysis technology. This innovative process addresses the recycling challenges posed by multicolored PET, which is often unsuitable for mechanical recycling. The collaboration aims to convert this waste into high-quality copolyesters and PET for the beauty industry, promoting sustainability and reducing reliance on less eco-friendly disposal methods. This initiative represents a significant step toward a circular economy in beauty packaging.
