Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) Resins Market Report 2026

The polyethylene terephthalate (pet) and polybutylene terephthalate (pbt) resins market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $52.78 billion in 2025 to $58.78 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of bottled beverage consumption, expansion of food packaging industries, increasing use of pet in textiles and films, rising adoption of pbt in electronics, availability of large-scale polymerization facilities.

The polyethylene terephthalate (pet) and polybutylene terephthalate (pbt) resins market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $88.56 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing sustainability regulations on plastic packaging, rising demand for recyclable food-grade plastics, expansion of electric vehicle electronics applications, growing investments in recycled resin capacity, increasing adoption of lightweight polymer solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of recycled pet materials, rising demand for lightweight packaging solutions, growing use of pbt in electrical components, expansion of food and beverage packaging applications, enhanced focus on resin purity and performance.

The growing use of highly recyclable plastic resins is expected to drive the growth of the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resins market. Recyclable plastic resins can be collected, processed, and reused to create new products, making them more sustainable than single-use or non-recyclable materials. PET and PBT are thermoplastic polymers that can be recycled multiple times without significant loss of properties. For instance, in August 2025, according to PepsiCo, several major global beverage and FMCG companies have pledged to use 50% recycled content in their plastic packaging by 2030. Therefore, the increasing demand for PET in packaging is propelling the growth of the PET and PBT resins market.

Major companies in the PET and PBT resins market are developing innovative solutions such as fully recycled PET (rPET) packaging to enhance sustainability, reduce reliance on virgin plastics, and support circular-economy initiatives. Fully recycled PET packaging is manufactured entirely from post-consumer recycled PET, significantly reducing waste, energy consumption, and carbon emissions compared to conventional PET. For instance, in October 2023, Coca-Cola, a US-based beverage company, launched fully recycled PET bottles in the carbonated beverage category, offering Coca-Cola in 100% rPET bottles in 250 ml and 750 ml pack sizes.

In August 2023, Neste Oyj, a Finland-based provider of renewable feedstock and circular polymer solutions, partnered with Suntory, ENEOS Corporation, and Mitsubishi Corporation to produce renewable PET resin at a commercial scale. The partnership aims to establish a sustainable supply chain for bio-based PET, replacing fossil feedstock with waste-derived raw materials to reduce carbon footprint and support circular plastics production for beverage bottles. ENEOS Corporation is a Japan-based energy and petrochemicals company, Suntory Holdings Limited is a Japan-based consumer products company, and Mitsubishi Corporation is a Japan-based integrated trading and investment company.
