With its inherent properties of being clear, transparent, flexible and strong despite being lightweight owing to this the Biaxially Oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate market is witnessing an increase in demand.  Although concerns around environmental issues and plastic packaging continue to plague flexible packaging suppliers and hence Biaxially Oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate (BoPET) market.

The report: “Biaxially Oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate Market – Forecast (2020-2025)”, by IndustryARC, covers an in-depth analysis of the following segments of the Biaxially Oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate Industry. 

By Application – Packaging (Food, Medicines, Cosmetic, Others) Insulating Materials, Metallised films, Laminated sheet metal, Adhesive Tapes, Coating (Magazine, Books, Catalogs) Others.

By Geography – North America, South America, Europe, APAC, RoW. 

Packaging holds the largest market share in the applications for Biaxially Oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate market as BOPET packaging films are oriented films and are predominantly used in the packaging of products in various end-use industries such as food & beverages, electrical & electronics, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic & personal care products, among others. These films can be used for manufacturing bags, pouches, wraps, laminates, labels and tapes. Food remains the most prominent end-use industry for BOPET packaging films, especially fresh produce, meat, confectionery, and dairy products. BOPET packaging films remain stable through printing and laminating processes, making them desirable for high-quality graphic packaging applications. Also, their excellent heat resistance and sealing properties make BOPET a preferred choice for manufacturing labels and tapes. whereas adhesive tapes were used for electrical insulation. 

APAC dominated the Biaxially Oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate market. The economy of APAC is mainly influenced by the economic dynamics of countries such as China and India, owing to the rapid urbanization. Rapid urbanization has led to the continuous changes in people's lifestyles. Urban people have adopted a modern way of living, which contributed to the increase in BoPET film consumption as a premium product for various household purposes, including packaging. The factors such as rising demand for plastic packaging, accelerating manufacturing of electronic products, growth in digital printing, increasing retail sales of food and grocery, expansion of pharmaceutical industry are overall encouraging the rapid urbanization, hence the Biaxially Oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate market is witnessing increase in demand in this region.

Easy availability of raw materials is anticipated to boost the demand for global biaxially-oriented polyester (BoPET) market in the forecast period as, Biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BoPET) is a polyester film made from stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It is manufactured by using high quality resins and state of art technology. The basic raw material for biaxial-oriented polyester films is polyethylene terephthalate in granulate form. Polymers often contain special additives depending on the film type. BOPET films remain the only viable choice to help the supply chain comply with sustainability pledges to incorporate high levels of recycled content into food contact flexible packaging structures.

With the increasing demand for environmental friendly products the Biaxially Oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate market is growing.  Ranging from the clothes, we wear to the food, we eat – PET Film is used everywhere. Such an extensive use is supported by a waste-reducing nature of BOPET film, which helps protecting natural resources and makes positive contribution in our daily lives. The invention of BOPET film has provided a significant help to the family of polymers in uplifting their rank on the scale on environmental friendliness, as BOPET is considered to be a "green" or environmentally friendly polymer. The reason behind Polyester films being considered as environmental friendly because they are Safe, Non-toxic, Lightweight and easy recyclable.

Volatility in prices of raw materials is projected to hamper the global biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BoPET) market during the forecast period. The global BoPET market is witnessing technological advancements. Companies are striving to develop new and better ways to manufacture biaxially-oriented polyester (BoPET). Development of new manufacturing processes of biaxially-oriented polyester (BoPET) is estimated to propel the global biaxially-oriented polyester (BoPET) market in the near future. Whereas COVID 19 pandemic is also responsible for this oscillating prices.
