Global Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate Market Research Report Information: By Additives (Chain Extenders, Solid Stating Accelerators), Application (Bottles, Packaging), End-Use Industries (Food & Beverage, Pharmaceuticals, Automotive), Region - Forecast Till 2030

Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate Market Overview 

Amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (APET) market is expected to grow USD 62 billion CAGR 7.30% during the forecast 2022-2030. Amorphous polyethylene terephthalate is a type of plastic material with glass-like properties. It is created by extruding polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Because of its superior mechanical and physical properties, this material is commonly used for packaging carbonated soft drinks (CSD), juices, and water; personal care products; and pharmaceuticals, among other products. As an effective barrier to oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, amorphous polyethylene terephthalate is suitable for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP).The growing demand for amorphous polyethylene terephthalate from the food and beverage industries is driving the global amorphous polyethylene terephthalate market. The market is expected to expand over time as a result of rising demand for ready-to-eat food products as well as approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration for food packaging. Furthermore, rising demand for APET in other industries such as textile, automotive, and electronics due to its high tensile strength and lightweight is expected to drive product demand.
