PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) is widely used to package foods & beverages. However, since it is a downstream derivative of crude oil, any fluctuation in prices of crude oil directly impact PET’s market prospects. Also, PET is not environment-friendly, which is a disadvantage, given the increasing public and governmental focus on going green.
These factors have led to the development of bio-based PET. A recent study by Hexa Research, Inc. notes the global bio-based PET market to attain lucrative growth from 2016 to 2024 (forecast period).

Since bio-based PET uses chemical intermediates, the dependence on petroleum resources is reduced to a large extent. Bio-based ethylene glycol serves as the base for a majority of the commercially-available bio-based PET. Large companies operating across industries have committed to develop and adopt 100% bio-based PET products. This is fueling market growth. Growing popularity of biomass-derived chemicals is another favorable factor.
However, fall in crude oil prices could lead to higher demand for the conventional synthetic product. Moreover, bio-based PET faces threat of substitutes. Bio-based polyethylene furanoate (PEF) is light weight and has good tensile strength, rendering it a viable alternative for bio-based PET. Also, it requires lesser feedstock than bio-based PET, propelling its demand for bottles in food & beverage packaging.
