Market Trends of Crystalline Polyethylene Terephthalate Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Crystalline Polyethylene Terepthalate Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Demand from the Food & Beverage Industry
- Crystalline polyethylene terephthalate (C-PET) is a product of the polyester family. When PET is held in the stretched form at elevated temperatures, it slowly crystallizes and starts to become opaque, more rigid and less flexible.
- In the food & beverage industry, the C-PET application is seen in take-home, prepared-food containers, and trays that can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Additionally, C-PET also finds its application in bottles made for carbonated soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, and other edibles.
- C-PET is generally opaque and their thickness range is much higher as to withstand extreme applications.
- C-PET has superior properties like outstanding high temperatures and is less tensile due to which its application in food & beverage industry has been increasing.
- Hence, owing to the growing application of C-PET in food & beverage industry especially in Asia-Pacific region, the demand for Crystalline Polyethylene Terephthalate Market is expected to increase over the forecast period.
