PET Preform Machine Market

Despite many technological advancements, flexible packaging is not as efficient as rigid packaging in the handling of liquid products. PET being the nonhazardous, U.S. and European food & drug administration approved material, is used extensively for liquid packaging. PET preforms machines are used for manufacturing of PET bottles for beverages, bottled water, consumer goods, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and personal care & cosmetics end-use industries.

Production of PET bottle has risen from 300 Bn unit to 480 Bn during the last decade and is expected to expand further at CAGR of 4% during next decade and with the increasing demand for PET bottles, sales of PET preform machines is also expected to grow during the forecast period.

PET Preform Machine Market: Market Dynamics

Use of PET preforms machine adds an advantage for product manufacturers as it allows to offset the fluctuation in market demand for beverages and bottled water. Moreover, increasing sales of packaged goods and consumer preference for products packed in small quantity has increased the use of PET for packaging and positively influencing PET preform machine market. High speed and application in various end-use industries of PET preform machines are some other factors supporting the growth in PET preform machine market. However, high cost associated with PET preform machines may hamper the growth in PET preform machine market. Diminishing gap between the cost of single step PET blow molding machines and PET preform machine may further limit the use of PET preform machine.
