This trend is particularly being witnessed more in the developing economies of East Asia and South Asia. Moreover, consistent adoption of an extensive range of recycled PET packaging solutions such as clamshells & containers, bottles & jars, and other solutions in these regions in recent years has been noted. Rapid penetration of food, beverage, and healthcare industries, which show a high preference towards recyclable and sustainable packaging solutions, has led to the remarkable demand for recycled PET packaging solutions in these regions.
On the back of these factors, the global recycled PET market is projected to register an impressive CAGR of 6.5% over the forecast period of 2019-2029.
“Prominent manufacturers in the recycled PET market can gain substantial profits by focusing on developing economies in East and South Asia, such as China and India. Additionally, as key industries are inclined towards the adoption of sustainable packaging solutions, the demand for recycled PET packaging solutions is estimated to substantially increase in the foreseeable future.”
