Amorphous Polypropylene Terephthalate Market Report 2026

The amorphous polypropylene terephthalate market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $47.91 billion in 2025 to $52.44 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing demand from food and beverage packaging, increasing use in pharmaceutical applications, expansion in dairy and personal care products, rising adoption in automotive interiors, growth of films and sheets production.

The amorphous polypropylene terephthalate market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $73.63 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to shift towards lightweight and high-performance plastics, increasing demand in advanced packaging applications, rising adoption in medical and pharmaceutical sectors, growth in sustainable and recyclable materials, expansion of automotive and textile applications. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of high-transparency and rigid plastic materials, growing demand for gas and water resistant amorphous ppt products, increasing use of impact-resistant and deep-foaming capable plastics, expansion of food packaging and pharmaceutical applications, rising focus on lightweight and thermally stable plastic solutions.

The rising demand for packaging in the food and beverage sector is expected to drive the growth of the amorphous polypropylene terephthalate market. Amorphous polyethylene terephthalate is widely used in food and beverage packaging due to its high strength and stiffness, clear visibility, and low creep properties, making it ideal for these applications. These plastics are commonly used to package drinks, fresh meats, fruits, and vegetables. For example, in March 2025, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), an Australia-based government agency, reported that in 2023-24, approximately 15.3 million tonnes of food and non-alcoholic beverages were sold across supermarkets, grocery stores, convenience stores, and specialty food stores in Australia, representing a 3.5% increase (510,500 tonnes) compared to the previous 12-month period (2022-23). Therefore, the increasing demand for packaging in the food and beverage sector is supporting the growth of the amorphous polypropylene terephthalate market.

The growth of the automotive industry is expected to drive the expansion of the amorphous polypropylene terephthalate market in the coming years. The automotive industry encompasses a range of companies and organizations involved in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, selling, repairing, and modification of motor vehicles. Amorphous polypropylene terephthalate is used in the automotive sector to manufacture various parts, including door handles, fuel systems, and other components. For example, in March 2025, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, a Belgium-based trade group, reported that global car sales reached 74.6 million units in 2024, reflecting a 2.5% increase compared to 2023. Additionally, the EU car market grew by 0.8% in 2024, with total sales reaching 10.6 million units. Therefore, the expanding automotive industry is contributing to the growth of the amorphous polypropylene terephthalate market.

A prominent trend in the amorphous polypropylene terephthalate market is product innovation focused on environmentally friendly manufacturing techniques. Manufacturers are actively introducing innovative products manufactured using eco-friendly methods. An example is Origin Materials, a US-based chemical company, unveiling all PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottle caps in August 2023. These caps enable the potential for 100% recycled PET throughout the entire bottle, including the cap, thereby enhancing post-consumer recycling efforts. Origin's PET caps are particularly eco-friendly as they can be sourced from various PET materials, including recycled PET and Origin's 100% bio-based, carbon-negative virgin PET. Moreover, PET offers superior oxygen and CO2 barrier properties compared to commonly used cap materials such as HDPE and PP, enhancing their sustainability profile.
