Pune, India, April 11, 2018 /press release/- Market Research Future Published a Half Cooked Research Report on Global Bio-Based PET Market Research Report.

Market Overview

A Bio-based PET is manufactured using mono-ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid and offers properties such as non-toxicity, recyclability, reduced carbon footprint, and high resistance to shattering which are highly useful in various packaging solutions.

The global bio-based PET market is segmented on the basis of its application such as bottles, consumer goods, automotive, electronics, and others. Around 55% of the bio-based PET is consumed for manufacturing of PET bottles as they are rigid and non-toxic for the storage of beverages such as liquors, soft drinks, mineral water, and others. Increasing beverage consumption across the globe is the major factor influencing the market growth positively. The lightweight property of the bio-based PET has augmented the demand in manufacturing and packaging consumer goods. The changing lifestyle and the increasing demand for consumer goods such as refrigerators, washing machines, TV, home appliances, and others along with the high disposable income are expected to boost the market growth over the review period. This property also makes them useful in the automotive sector for manufacturing door panels, seat fabrics, interior mats, and others, which is anticipated to propel the market growth further. They enhance durability, gloss finish, and dimensional stability in electronic appliances, which, in turn, drives the global bio-based PET market growth. However, factors that may challenge the market growth include irregularity in feedstock supply and lack of cultivable land for corn, sugar, and others.
