The global polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) market size reached US$ 2,816 Million in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 3,583 Million by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4% during 2023-2028.

Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is a high molecular semicrystalline engineering thermoplastic utilized as an insulating material in electronic components. It is a semi-aromatic and white or off-white colored polyester produced by polycondensation of dimethyl terephthalate or terephthalic acid with butanediol. PBT is widely used in the manufacturing of keyboards, distribution boxes, plug connectors, relays, switches and fiber optic cable jackets. It exhibits high strength, chemical, abrasion and heat resistance and dimensional stability. In comparison to the traditionally used polyethylene terephthalate (PET), PBT has a low melting point, crystallizes easily and exhibits higher impact resistance and flexibility. As a result, it finds extensive application across various industries, such as automotive, textile, electrical and electronics.

Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) Market Trends:
Significant growth in the automotive industry across the globe is creating a positive outlook for the market. PBT is widely used in the manufacturing of cast iron, stainless steel, bronze and ceramic-based automobile handles, fuel system components, windshield wiper covers, connectors and seat belts. Additionally, the increasing product utilization in the textile industry for producing swimwear due to the natural elastic, saltwater resistant and color retention properties of PBT is favoring the market growth. Moreover, various product innovations, such as the development of recyclable PBT, are providing a thrust to the market growth. These PBT variants are manufactured using sustainable green materials and is environmentally friendly, biocompatible and biodegradable. In line with this, the increasing demand for PBT in the manufacturing of high-voltage and sensitive electronic sensors in electric vehicles (EVs) is positively impacting the market growth. Other factors, including the implementation of various government initiatives to promote the utilization of PBT in various industries, along with the increasing product utilization to manufacture deflection coils, bushings and adapter coil bobbins, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
