Dimethyl Terephthalate (DMT) Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)

The global Dimethyl Terephthalate market is expected to grow with a CAGR greater than 4% during the forecast period. One of the major factors driving the market is the rising demand for Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). However, the availability of more economical substitutes, like PTA (Purified Terephthalic Acid) is hindering the growth of the market studied.

• Increasing demand for polyesters in various end-user industries is another major driver for the market studied
• Asia-Pacific accounted for the highest share of the market and is likely to continue dominating the market during the forecast period.
• Among the applications, manufacturing PET is expected to dominate the market studied during the forecast period.

Key Market Trends

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Manufacturing Application to Dominate the Market

• Among various applications, the major application of DMT serves to be in the production of PET resin and polymer.
• The application of PET has been increasing in various end-user industries, such as packaging, construction, and electronics.
• The increasing demand for flexible packaging is further driving the demand for PET.
• Thus, with the rising PET demand from such industries, the production of PET is also projected to increase, which is likely to drive the demand for DMT in the coming years.
• Hence, owing to the above-mentioned factors, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) manufacturing application is expected to dominate the market studied during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market

• Currently, Asia-Pacific accounts for the highest share of the global Dimethyl Terephthalate (DMT) market.
• Along with this, the region is also projected to witness the highest growth, owing to the strong economic growth, increasing industrial output and investment attractiveness of the region.
