Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2025471 | Category : Communication and Connectivity Technology | Delivery Format: /

The global polyethylene terephthalate (PET) packaging market is expected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 6% during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to the constant increase in demand from various end-use industries including beverages, food, pharmaceuticals, personal care & cosmetics, and others. Further, increasing the use of PET packaging as a replacement for metal and glass containers is also likely to boost market growth. PET packaging is also in high demand owing to the growing demand for customized and different-sized packaging for consumer convenience and brand differentiation. Furthermore, the market growth is fuelled by widespread product adoption coupled with low production and shipping costs, minimum solid waste and storage requirements, and ease of transportation. Several beverage companies are investing in projects aimed at creating low-cost PET bottles to gain significant benefits by attracting a greater number of customers. The increase in demand for the packaging of carbonated beverages using PET is further boosting the growth of the market. However, PET is produced using raw materials such as crude oil. The constant fluctuation in the prices of crude oil is projected to restrain the growth of the market.

Segmental Outlook  

The market is segmented based on product type, packaging, and end-user. Based on the product type, the market is classified into bottles and jars, bags and pouches, trays, and lids/caps and closures, and others. Based on the packaging, the market is classified into rigid and flexible. Based on end-user, the market is segregated into food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, personal care and cosmetics, industrial goods, household products, and others.

Bottles and Jars Holds Dominating Position in the Market

Among product type, bottles and jars segment is estimated to hold dominating position in the market as PET is often used in food packaging owing to its strong barrier properties against water vapor, dilute acids, alcohols, and oils. PET is also shatter-resistant, moderately flexible, and easy to recycle. Moreover, the emerging e-commerce industry across the globe is also contributing significantly to the market growth as transporting PET bottles and jars is easy from a logistics point of view. Moreover, PET bottles are lightweight and do not require additional care, the cost of transportation is significantly reduced. Therefore, the growing inclination of people towards e-commerce is expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period.

Regional Outlook 

Geographically, the global PET packaging market is classified into four major regions including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and Rest of the World (Latin America and the Middle East and Africa (MEA)). North America is one of the key regions contributing to the market growth. It is one of the crucial pet food packaging markets owing to the presence of large packaging companies, such as Amcor Ltd and Mondi PLC. According to the Flexible Packaging Association, flexible packaging represents approximately 19% of the total $177 billion US packaging industry. Pet food, in particular, adopted flexible packaging in large numbers, owing to convenience factors, such as pouch packaging, fitments for pet food, and innovative slider closures. According to the American Pet Products Association, pet product sales on online channels increased by 57% in the US from 2018 to 2019. This, in turn, is also leveraging the market growth in the region.

Asia-Pacific to Witness Significant Growth in the Global Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Packaging Market

Geographically, Asia-Pacific is projected to hold a significant growth in the market. China is one of the largest consumers of PET globally owing to the abundant availability of raw materials and low cost of production that supports the production growth of the engineering plastics, such as PET, in the country. Moreover, the use of PET products in the packaging sector is increasing at a tremendous rate, owing to their benefits over conventional packaging plastics. The increasing demand from industries such as consumer goods, food and beverage, and others for packaging materials is growing in China owing to the rise in exports and domestic consumption. Similarly, the growing demand for high-quality water and health-conscious drinking patterns are predicted to boost bottled water use, which would have a direct influence on the region's packaging market. According to DCC China, bottled water consumption in China was predicted to exceed 49 million metric tons by 2020.

Market Players Outlook

The key players in the PET packaging market contribute significantly by providing different types of products and increasing their geographical presence across the globe. Gerresheimer AG, Amcor plc, Berry Global, Inc., and Graham Packaging Co., among others. These market players adopt various strategies such as product launches, partnerships, collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions to sustain in a strong position in the market. For instance, in November 2020, Amcor developed the lightest 900-ml PET bottle for edible oil in Brazil with the support of advanced technology and design technology. This new bottle for Bunge’s Oleo de soja Soya brand represents Amcor’s entry into the edible oil market in Brazil. Additionally, this new bottle is a huge technological achievement as they were able to replicate the current bottle’s shape and specifications at a lighter weight.
