Market Overview

For the Quarter Ending September 2021

North America

During Q3 2021, PBAT resin prices surged significantly across North American region, backed by the steep climb in prices of major feedstocks Adipic Acid and Butanediol (BDO) amidst the modest demand from the downstream sectors. Disrupted supply chain and halted production activities, as a repercussion of Ida Hurricane in US were few of the factors which contributed to the significant surge in PBAT prices. As US imports PBAT primarily from China, due to port congestion in China during August, the overall supply chain remained adversely affected which consequently influenced the price of PBAT in other regions. Thus, limited availability of raw materials and robust demand from the downstream packaging, consumer goods segments intensified the overall pricing trend of PBAT.

Asia

In Q3 2021, prices of Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate (PBAT) showcased mixed sentiments in the Asian market. At the beginning of the quarter, prices traced downward trajectory due to surplus production in China, Taiwan and South Korea amidst the constricted demand pattern. However, a prominent surge in the prices of PBAT was witnessed in September in several Asian countries, due to the disrupted trade activities from China. Besides, PBAT manufacturers in South Korea and China were heard expanding their production capacities as well as joining hands for the development of greenfield manufacturing facilities to fulfil the global demand for PBAT resin. Thus, moving ahead, prices of PBAT resin are likely to trace stability in the next six months.

Europe

In the European market, a significant rise in prices of PBAT resin was observed in the third quarter due to raw material scarcity and lower imports from US. Additional factors such as surging demand for biodegradable materials for the manufacturing of downstream products along with the elevated prices of the feedstock led to the hike in PBAT prices. Besides, exponential surge in the freight cost across Europe-USA and Europe-Asia trade route due to container shortage also contributed to put forth an upward pressure upon PBAT across the region.

About

Polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) resin is an eco-friendly polymer derived from the copolymerization of adipic acid, 1,4-butanediol, and dimethyl terephthalate using polyester manufacturing technology in the presence of specific catalysts. Its market is segmented into two grades including Pure grade and Blended Grade. PBAT comprises versatile properties such as toughness, flexibility, mechanical strength, excellent heat resistance, easy processability and biodegradability. All these properties make it an ideal material as an alternative to conventional plastics. It finds major applications in Composite bags, Plastic bottles, Bins, Mulch Films, foam, and Stabilizers. Though its more costly than other plastic materials yet it is much preferred by manufacturers because of its easy composability. Major end use industries for PBAT are Packaging, Consumer Goods, Agriculture & Fishery, and Coatings. Among these, Packaging is the most lucrative segment for the PBAT market.
