The Asia Pacific (APAC) PET market value is slated to multiply at around 6.7% CAGR through 2024. Asia is the leading PET exporter, with a consistent trade surplus of 2–3 MMT per year over the last five years.
Driven by the healthy demand, the APAC PET market, holding over 60% of the overall supply, continues to attract market players and stakeholders. Furthermore, the European Union (EU) and North America collectively capture around a fifth of the global PET supply.
While PET market players in the US and Europe highly prefer contract transactions, spot transactions are the most favorable type of engagement in Asia.
In 2019, the global PET production and demand pegged 37.97 MMT and 28.42 MMT, respectively.
Squeezed global supply and rising crude prices are the key factors negatively impacting PET manufacturers’ profit margins.
Significant PET usage is observed in producing films, while usage in fiber and bottle production is likely to grow at 4.8% and 4.3% CAGR.
North America and Europe have been net PET imports over the past five years, mainly due to disruption in domestic supply.
In Asia, the buyer power is high, while in the EU and North America, the buyer power is medium and low, respectively.
Beroe’s analysis shows that the global PET demand will grow at 8-9% CAGR during 2019-2024.
