The demand for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles is increasing for the packaging of bottled water, juices, soft beverages, medications, salad dressing, oil, home cleansers, and personal care items. The benefits of PET materials, such as their high transparency, shiny surface, good stability, high-pressure resistance, good barrier qualities, and lightweight, are credited with this. The global rise of the e-commerce sector is also having a substantial impact on the market expansion. A rising number of firms are using PET for their packaging needs since PET bottles and jars are easy to carry logistically. Also, because PET bottles are lightweight and don't need special handling, transportation costs are greatly decreased. As a result, demand is anticipated to rise significantly throughout the projection period as people's choice for e-commerce services increases. Developing businesses from China, India, and Japan, including those in the food, beverage, and personal care sectors, are propelling market expansion in this area and are anticipated to boost demand for PET bottles.
According to Coherent Market Insights, The market for PET Bottles is predicted to grow from its current value of US$ 565.93 billion in 2020 to US$ 781.90 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 3.87%. (2021-2028).
