India Purified Terephthalic Acid Market

India Purified Terephthalic Acid Market Size and Share: 

The India purified terephthalic acid market size reached USD 3.13 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 4.61 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.40% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by the escalating polyester demand in the textile industry and increasing need for polyethylene terephthalate (PET)-based packaging in the expanding food and beverage (F&B) and e-commerce sectors, further supported by sustainability trends, urbanization, inflating disposable incomes, and shifts in user preferences.

India Purified Terephthalic Acid Market Trends:

Growing Demand in Textile Industry

The rising demand for polyester, which is primarily derived from purified terephthalic acid (PTA), is bolstering the growth of the market. The textile sector, particularly the clothing industry, is witnessing swift growth driven by a rise in user demand for garments, especially synthetic materials. Polyester is becoming well-liked due to its strength, affordability, and adaptability, making it a favored choice in the fashion sector. This growing demand is further supported by the expansion of the fashion and retail industries, along with the changing user preferences for budget-friendly, low-maintenance fabrics. Moreover, inflating disposable incomes, urban development, and changing lifestyles are driving up textile utilization, which is catalyzing the demand for PTA production. As polyester is a vital part of many fabrics, PTA continues to be a crucial raw material in fulfilling market needs. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the Indian textile and apparel sector is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%, targeting a projected US$ 350 billion by 2030, with exports estimated to make up US$ 100 billion of this figure. This strong expansion in the textile sector supports the rising demand for PTA, boosting both local production and import needs for the substance to satisfy the growing market demands.

Expansion of Packaging Industry

PTA is a crucial raw material in producing polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a commonly utilized polymer for numerous packaging applications like bottles, containers, and films. With individual demand for packaged products steadily increasing, especially in the food and beverage industry, the need for PET and subsequently PTA is escalating. The swift expansion of e-commerce platforms, necessitating extensive packaging for shipping, intensifies the need for PET-based packaging options. Moreover, the increasing focus on sustainability and recyclability is promoting the use of PET products, given their strong reputation for being recyclable. This transition to environment-friendly packaging is additionally aiding the expansion of the PTA market. The IMARC Group reports that the industrial packaging market in India attained a value of USD 4.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand to USD 8.9 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 6.91% from 2025 to 2033. This growth emphasizes the rising need for packaging materials, directly enhancing PTA utilization in India. The swift expansion of both local and export markets for packaged products guarantees an ongoing increase in the PTA market
