Key Market Trends
Increasing Inclination Toward Easy-to-Use PET Bottles and Other Sustainable Packaged Products

Moreover, there are numerous benefits for the manufacturers that widely insist they use PET bottles to offer their products, owing to their transparency, high-pressure resistance, stability, and lightweight.

The major players in the market, such as PepsiCo Inc. and The Coca-Cola Company, are trying to reduce their carbon footprint by adhering to sustainable packaging methods. Although this concept is contested, these players prefer using PET bottles to aluminum cans.
