Polyethylene Terephthalate Market

Report Highlights

Polyethylene terephthalate, which is also called PET is a thermoplastic polymer resin produced by the reaction of raw materials monoethylene glycol (MEG) and purified terephthalic acid (PTA). The material exhibits exceptional barrier properties towords moisture and water. Polyethylene terephthalatefinds applications across diverse industries such as automotive, food and beverage packaging, electronics among the others.

Recently, Reliance Industries have announced to open two petrochemical plants in Dahej, Gujrat, for making polyester plastic and would also commissioned a 650 KTA polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin capacity and purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plant. It will increase their global capacity share of almost 4 percent and would also lower the operational cost and achieve full chain margins.
