Global Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1861 million in 2025 to US$ 1770 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of -0.8% from 2025 to 2031.

Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) is semi-crystalline, white or off-white polyester similar in both composition and properties to polyethyleneterephthalate (PET). It is a thermoplastic engineering polymer that is used as an insulator in the electrical, electronics, automobile, mechanical equipment and precision instruments industries. Compared to PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PBT has slightly lower strength and rigidity, slightly better impact resistance, and a slightly lower glass transition temperature.

In this report, the volume of PBT is calculated by PBT resin, excluding PBT modified resin.

At present, the major manufacturers of PBT are concentrated in Changchun, BASF, Sabic, DuBay Polymer (Lanxess, DuPont) and Ticona (Celanese). Changchun is the world leader, holding 11% production market share.
