Impact of COVID-19 on Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) Market
The global economy is witnessing deepest recession after WW2 due to COVID-19 pandemic, and its effect is apparent across the global purified terephthalic acid market as well. Due to halt in export and import from various countries, demand for textile has reduced, and manufacturers are forced to curtail production or shut down their production units. According to just-style, about 80% of textile industries in Africa have faced downfall during the pandemic. Moreover, majority of market players are dependent on China for raw materials. As the country is facing the second wave of the pandemic, reinstating lockdowns in key manufacturing hubs are severely hampering the supply chain disruption of purified terephthalic acid market.
On the flip side, PTA is finding immense use in manufacturing of personal protective equipment (PPE) kit amid the pandemic. PPE kits have become a must for the frontline healthcare workers in order to protect them from the coronavirus while treating patients. As such, surging demand for PPE kits from various sectors is offering lucrative prospects for PTA manufacturers. With 3600 manufacturing units, about 2 lakhs personal protective equipment (PPE) kits are produced in India alone.
Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) Market Regional Analysis
Asia Pacific (APAC) continues to hold leading share in purified terephthalic acid market. China is the largest manufacturer and exporter of PTA in the world. Additionally, APAC is the largest textile consumer, especially polyester fabric and yarn. Growing at a CAGR of around 5%, the APAC textile is poised to register revenues worth US$ 520 by 2024. Further, surging sales of apparels through online platforms is anticipated to provide remunerative opportunities for PTA manufacturers. Going forward, North America is also attracting significant stakeholders’ investments, given rising adoption of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in bottling and packaging industries.
