The global extruded PET market size reached approximately USD 10.40 Billion in 2024. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.40% in the forecast period of 2025-2034, reaching a value of around USD 19.34 Billion by 2034.
Key Trends in the Market
PET or polyethylene terephthalate is a plastic polymer that is strong, lightweight, and recyclable in nature. It is extruded at a temperature between 270-290°C for the production of films and sheets, among others, for applications in several end-use sectors.
- Growing demand for sustainable products to reduce environmental impacts is one of the prominent extruded PET market trends. Extruded PET is easier to recycle due to its properties such as flexibility and heat responsiveness and can be reused in plastic bottles or clothing.
- The rising trend of a circular economy, which involves reusing existing products and materials for as long as possible, has fuelled investments in the recycling of extruded PET products.
- Factors such as excellent flexibility, high strength-to-weight ratio, and resistance to moisture have boosted the applications of extruded PET in automotive components such as exterior body parts and engine covers, among others.
- Integration of smart technology in extruded PET packaging to develop intelligent packaging that can track products and provide transparency, active packaging which prolongs the shelf life of products, and QR code packaging that offers product information after scanning also provides impetus to the extruded PET market growth.
