Key Market Trends

Increasing Demand from Polyester Fibers

  • Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) is used to manufacture polyester coatings resins for use in the formulation of general metal, appliance, automotive, industrial maintenance, and coil coatings.
  • The primary application for PTA is in polyester powder coating resins. 
  • Polyester fibers made up of PTA (Purified Terephthalic Acid), blends with natural and other synthetic fibers.
  • Polyester fibres are used for various applications such as to make fabrics for apparel and home furnishings such as bed sheets, bedspreads, curtains and draperies.
  • They are also combined together with natural fibres such as cotton to produce a cloth with improved properties such as wrinkle resistance.
  • In Asia, the growth in terephthalic acid consumption has been driven due to strong polyester fibre demand, which is the largest segment accounting for nearly two-thirds of global polyester demand.
  • Such growth in polyester fibers is expected to drive the market for Terephthalic Acid during the forecast period.
