India`s import shipments of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) in 2024 continued to see significant growth, with top exporting countries including Thailand, Taiwan, China, Indonesia, and South Korea. The market concentration, as measured by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), remained at high levels, indicating a competitive landscape among the key suppliers. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 stood at an impressive 65.37%, with a notable growth rate of 20.98% from 2023 to 2024, reflecting the strong demand and dynamics within the PTA import market in India.
Purified terephthalic acid is a key raw material for the production of polyester and PET resin. The market is closely tied to the textile, packaging, and beverage industries. As these sectors experience growth, the PTA market in India is poised for expansion.
The India Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) market is primarily driven by its use in the textile and packaging industries. PTA is a crucial raw material for the production of polyester fibers, which are widely used in textiles. The growing textile industry in India contributes to the demand for PTA. Additionally, PTA is used in the production of PET bottles and packaging materials, aligning with the increasing need for packaging solutions in various sectors.
The India PTA market faces challenges such as the need to ensure a consistent supply of raw materials and address price volatility in the petrochemical industry. The industry must also adapt to changes in polyester production processes and consumer preferences, including the demand for sustainable and recycled materials. Environmental regulations and sustainability concerns are becoming increasingly important for the market.
The India purified terephthalic acid (PTA) market was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, as PTA is a key raw material for the production of polyester and PET resin. The pandemic disrupted supply chains, leading to challenges in procuring PTA and manufacturing polyester products. The textile and packaging industries, which are major consumers of PTA, faced disruptions in production and demand. Manufacturers in the PTA market had to adapt to the changing landscape by implementing safety measures, reevaluating production capacities, and exploring new market opportunities. As the pandemic situation improved, the market gradually recovered, with a focus on serving the evolving needs of different sectors.
Reliance Industries, India Oil Corporation, and JBF Industries are major players in the India PTA market. They are involved in the production of PTA, a key raw material for the polyester industry.
