Bio-based polyethylene terephthalate market is estimated to be valued at USD 3.74 Bn in 2025, exhibiting a CAGR of over 9.1% over the forecast period (2025-2032). Bio-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a bioplastic obtained from renewable sources like sugarcane and wood pulp. It offers similar properties to PET derived from fossil fuels. With rising concerns over plastic waste and demand for sustainable alternatives, bio-based PET market can witness significant growth.
Market Dynamics
Increasing health and environmental concerns associated with single-use plastics can drive the market growth. Growing consumer preference for sustainable packaging along with strict restrictions on petroleum-based plastics has boosted demand for bio- based PET. However, limited raw material sources and high manufacturing costs pose challenges. Extensive R&D in feedstock optimization and technological advancements are lowering production prices. Rising collaboration between brands and manufacturers to develop cost-competitive bio-PET solutions presents lucrative opportunities. Favorable government policies encouraging use of bio-plastics for a low carbon economy can also aid the market expansion. The bioplastic helps reduce dependence on crude oil and lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional PET. It can be recycled and contributes to the circular economy. Leading brands are incorporating bio-based PET in food packaging, textiles and bottles to meet sustainability goals. Continued product innovation and supportive regulations can promote the adoption of this eco-friendly material.
