The global Recycled PET market is estimated to be USD 11.0 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 15.0 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2023 to 2028. The growth is due to the growing demand for bottles, sheets, fiber, and other applications throughout the world.

“Flakes are expected to be the fastest-growing type in the recycled PET market during the forecast period.”
The demand for rPET flakes has been increasing due to several factors. One of the main drivers is the growing emphasis on sustainable packaging solutions. Brands and manufacturers are seeking ways to incorporate recycled materials into their packaging, and rPET flakes offer a viable solution. These flakes are derived from the recycling process, where PET bottles are sorted, cleaned, and shredded into small pieces. The resulting flakes can be used to produce various products such as fibers, films, sheets, and other packaging materials.

“Bottles are expected to be the largest and fastest-growing application”.
The large-scale adoption of rPET in the bottle industry can be attributed to its feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and positive environmental impact. By utilizing recycled PET in bottles, the industry contributes to reducing plastic waste, conserving resources, and lowering carbon emissions associated with the production of virgin PET.
While bottles continue to be the fastest-growing and largest application for rPET, other segments, such as films and sheets, textiles, automotive parts, and construction materials, are also showing growth potential as the market for recycled PET expands.

“Asia Pacific is the largest market for recycled PET ”
The Asia Pacific (APAC) region is recognized as both the fastest-growing and largest market for recycled PET (rPET). This dynamic can be attributed to several factors.
Firstly, the APAC region has a substantial population and a rapidly expanding middle-class segment. This demographic shift leads to increased consumption of packaged goods, which in turn drives the demand for sustainable packaging solutions like rPET.
Secondly, APAC has been experiencing significant economic growth and urbanization. This growth has resulted in increased industrialization, manufacturing activities, and infrastructure development, leading to higher production and consumption of products packaged in rPET.
