Polyethylene Terephthalate Shrink Films Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Polyethylene Terephthalate Shrink Films Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Demand from the Food and Beverage Industry
- PET is one of the most commonly used materials for shrink wrapping because it can be produced in various densities and modified with additives to perform many functions.
- PET shrink films are used for packaging food products such as muffins, cookies, candies, and other confectionery products. For bundling multiple products, these films can be used as primary packaging coming into direct contact with the food product.
- Additionally, these films are also used to bundle smaller units and lumber. Supermarket tray wraps are also manufactured using PET shrink films.
- According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, US Department of Energy, more than 82 million metric tons of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is produced each year globally to make single-use beverage bottles, packaging, clothing, and carpets. The volume is expected to reach 600 million tons by 2050.
- PET shrink films form a tight seal around the product in the food and beverage industry. It protects the product from moisture, dust, and other contaminants. According to a 2022 report by Huhtamaki, a product packaging company, the recovery rate for packaging and food service plastics in the United States was about 14%. In Europe, the plastic packaging recycling rate reported was 40%.
- According to the Association for Packaging and Processing, PMMI, the North American beverage packaging industry is expected to increase by 4.5% by 2028, with the United States leading the beverage packaging sector.
- PET plastic is a sustainable packaging option and the leading type of plastic used for beverage bottles. It is due to its excellent chemical resistance to organic materials and water and high strength-to-weight ratio.
- According to Habits of Waste, an organization focused on people's habits by encouraging everyone to rethink wasteful behavior, about 481.61 billion PET bottles are used every year around the world. PET Resin Association (PETRA) reports that more than 1.5 billion pounds of PET plastic bottles and containers are recycled annually in the United States.
- Polyethylene terephthalate is the most common thermoplastic resin of the polyester family and is used majorly in the packaging industry. Many essential food and beverage players are incorporating PET material in their packaging to ensure sustainability. For instance, in May 2022, TekniPlex launched a new line of processor trays made of 100% polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material. PET packaging offers premium product display and also addresses common packaging challenges.
- Owing to all these factors, the market for polyethylene terephthalate shrink films will likely grow worldwide during the forecast period.
