Specialty Polymers
The global polyester (PET) business comprising of Textile, Industrial yarn & Carpets, Rigid packaging and Flexible packaging is in excess of 67 million tons per year (MTPA). The Textile and Rigid packaging form the largest component of this total volume standing at 30 & 28 MTPA respectively. The total PET resin market is growing at an annual rate of ~7.5%. Moreover, there is a significant potential of unmet demand for performance PET polymers in all the above mentioned application areas.
