LONDON--()--The polyethylene terephthalate (PET) industry requires new investments in research and development of specialty products, as well as new end-use applications, to provide future growth opportunities.
“Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET): 2010 World Market Outlook And Forecast”
Market perspectives look good for Polyethylene Terephthalate in middle-term period. World PET capacity will increase slower than demand bringing the market to balance. With average annual growth of 3.5% global capacity will reach 24.4mln tons/year by 2015. Unlike world market trends, European PET capacity growth rates will exceed the demand helping to close production deficit in the region. This will slow down net imports growth into Europe.
Polyethylene terephthalate exists both as an amorphous and a semi-crystalline thermoplastic, and can be made into either a resin, film or fibre. The semi-crystalline PET has good strength, ductility, stiffness and hardness while the amorphous PET has better ductility. PET also has good processability and can be recycled for other applications.
