Asia Pacific Bio-Based Polyethylene Terephthalate Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The Asia Pacific bio-based polyethylene terephthalate market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.10% during the forecast period of between 2025 and 2034, owing to the growing emphasis on eco-friendly plastics.

Key Trends in the Market

A resin known as polyethylene terephthalate is produced by esterifying a mixture of two monomers - distilled terephthalic acid and modified ethylene glycol - polyethylene terephthalate. MEG (monoethylene glycol), a sugar cane ethanol product, and distilled PTA (terephthalic acid), a crude oil-based chemical product, are combined to create bio-based polyethylene terephthalate.

• Over the forecast time period, a rising focus on environmentally friendly plastics is predicted to drive the market. Globally, the demand for items with lower carbon emissions and the use of more environmentally friendly products have grown, thus propelling the Asia Pacific bio-based polyethylene terephthalate market. Initiatives by governments in the region, to promote the use of biodegradable products, have led to the usage of polyethylene terephthalate materials derived from biological sources.
• Due to its light weight and biodegradable properties, bio-based polyethylene terephthalate is frequently used in the packaging of food products, soft drinks, cosmetics, alcoholic beverages, pharmaceuticals, and edible oils. It is also used in the production of bottles, packaged goods, building materials, electronics, and car interiors. The Asia Pacific bio-based polyethylene terephthalate market will continue to expand at a rapid rate due to the growing use of bio-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET) across a variety of end uses.
• Conventional plastic is non-decomposable due to the presence of various harmful chemical components, which restricts its use in a range of end use applications. The environment, living creatures, and human health are all harmed by harmful chemicals. The danger posed by the microplastics to land-based plants and animals, including people, has increased. Global demand for biodegradable plastic goods is rising as a result of the growing concern over plastic pollution. Consequently, the demand for bio-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET) will rise.
