[Online Quarterly Update]The BOPET Films Market witnessed significant demand of 4.21 million tonnes in 2020 and is anticipated to achieve a healthy CAGR of 4.8% in the forecast period until 2030. Biaxially Oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate (BOPET) is a versatile engineered film made from orientated Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). These Polyester films are clear, flexible, and transparent in nature and possess excellent properties such as high tensile strength, chemical and dimensional stability, reflectivity, gas and aroma barrier properties, and electrical/thermal insulation.
The BOPET films are extensively used for numerous industrial applications including flexible packaging and food contact, covering over paper, insulating materials, consumer electronics, printing media, automotive parts, green energy, medical devices, and others. The biaxial orientation of the PET film makes it suitable for electrical/thermal insulation, food packaging, and printing sheets by enhancing the product's crystallinity. BOPET films are widely used in plastic bottles for soft drinks owing to their excellent water and moisture barrier properties. Due to its high mechanical strength, BOPET film is often used in tape applications, including the carrier for magnetic tape, or backing for pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes. However, the largest end-use of BOPET film is in flexible packaging structures where its unique properties have enabled it to become the backbone that high-performance multi-layer plastic structures are built around. Due to rapid urbanization and industrialization, the demand for plastic packaging, electronic products, and digital printing is continuously increasing along with retail sales of food and grocery, which is likely to boost the BOPET market in the upcoming years.
Based on type, the BOPET films are divided into Thin polyester films and Thick polyester films. Thin polyester films (<50 micron) are widely used in cable overwrap, wires, transformers, membrane touch switches, metallic yarn, etc. Whereas Thick polyester films (50-350 micron) find their applications in quality lamination, electrical insulation, and other industrial applications. The thin films segment is expected to dominate the BOPET films market in the forecast period due to its growing demand in the food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals industry.
On the basis of end-use industries, the BOPET market is segmented into packaging, pharmaceuticals, automotive, electrical and electronics, imaging, industrial, and others. Among these, the packaging industry dominates the BOPET films market and is expected to maintain its dominance until 2030 owing to the rising demand for flexible packaging especially from the food and beverages, personal care, and pharmaceutical sector around the globe.
The unprecedented fall of COVID-19 in 2020 led to a major decline in the BOPET Films market across the globe. Leading authorities in emerging countries including China, Japan, India, and others imposed strict restrictions and nationwide lockdowns to curb the spread of coronavirus. Many industries including automotive, electrical and electronics, and others were severely affected due to the disruption in the global supply chain. However, the demand from the packaging industry remained significant during the covid times.
Among different regions, the Asia Pacific region holds the largest market share by value and volume in the BOPET Films market globally and is expected to witness robust growth in the forecast period owing to the growing demand for flexible packaging, flat panel displays, printed circuit boards, etc. in emerging countries. Rapid urbanization and industrialization in China and India have led to continuous changes in people’s lifestyles which has further propelled the demand for BOPET in the Asia Pacific region. In North America, the increasing demand for BOPET films in the food and beverages, and construction industry is expected to boost the BOPET films market in the upcoming years.
