NEW YORK, April 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The global purified terephthalic acid (PTA) market size is estimated to increase by USD 45.16 billion from 2022 to 2027. The market’s growth momentum will progress at a CAGR of 8.46% during the forecast period. The PTA market is predominantly driven by the increase in demand from the textile industry. PET fibers are preferably used in the production of textiles that require high resistance. They are more resistant to elongation due to their higher initial modulus and being stiffer than nylon fibers. These properties give the fabrics high dimensional stability. PET is also processed into fiberfill and used in furniture, pillows, and insulating clothing. It can be made into thin filaments for rayon or large-diameter filaments for carpets. PET is used to manufacture products such as seat belts, conveyor belts, power transmission belts, tire threads, and disposable medical clothing.
