India`s import shipments of amorphous polyethylene terephthalate in 2024 were primarily sourced from China, Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, and the USA. Despite the high concentration of imports from these top countries, the market maintained a very high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) in 2024. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 stood at an impressive 12.27%, although there was a slight decline in the growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -11.57%. These trends indicate a dynamic market landscape with key players dominating the import market in India.

The India Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate market is linked to the packaging and plastics industries. APET is used in various applications, including food packaging and consumer goods. The market growth is driven by the need for sustainable and recyclable packaging solutions.
The APET market in India is driven by the packaging and consumer goods industries. APET is used in the manufacturing of transparent containers and packaging materials. The increasing demand for convenient and visually appealing packaging solutions, along with the rising consumption of packaged goods, is propelling the growth of this market.
The amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (APET) market in India grapples with several challenges. One of the major concerns is the rising awareness of environmental issues and sustainability. As consumers demand more eco-friendly packaging solutions, manufacturers are under pressure to develop and use sustainable APET materials, which can be costlier to produce. The industry also faces issues with the availability of feedstock, as it relies heavily on imports. Furthermore, the volatility in crude oil prices directly affects the cost of APET production since it is derived from petroleum-based sources. Developing and maintaining recycling and waste management infrastructure for APET products poses yet another challenge in the India market.
The India APET market faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic as it is closely tied to the packaging industry, which was significantly impacted. With the disruption in the supply chain and reduced manufacturing activities, the demand for APET products, especially in the packaging sector, experienced a downturn. The lockdown measures also affected the production of APET, causing delays and supply shortages. However, as the pandemic pushed for increased demand in the e-commerce and healthcare sectors, APET applications in protective packaging and medical equipment saw growth. The market is gradually recovering as restrictions are easing, and there is a renewed focus on sustainable packaging solutions.
Prominent companies in the India amorphous polyethylene terephthalate market include Indorama Ventures India Private Limited, M&G Polymers India Private Limited, SRF Limited, JBF Industries Ltd., and Toray Industries India Private Limited.

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
