Biaxially Oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate Bopet Films Market Size
Biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BOPET) films market size was valued at USD 17.21 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 29.01 Billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 5.9%.
BOPET is a highly advanced polymer material used widely in many industries due to its outstanding properties. The phrase "biaxially oriented" refers to the process of producing these films by adding value through the stretching of polyethylene terephthalate in two perpendicular directions. Compared to the orientation of a regular PET film, the mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties are greatly improved. BOPET films are highly resistant to most chemicals, have good dimensional stability, and have high tensile strength. There is also outstanding optical clarity. This film works well for packing because of its low permeability to gases and moisture. Making BOPET film involves extruding molten PET into a thick sheet, which is then quickly cooled to form an amorphous structure. BOPET film technology is still being researched and developed due to environmental concerns. More work is being done to increase recyclability and create bio-based substitutes that rely less on raw materials sourced from fossil fuels while maintaining the performance attributes of conventional BOPET. Certain producers produce BOPET films using recycled PET, which promotes a more circular economy. It is thought that going forward, BOPET movies will need to strike a balance between their outstanding performances and environmental friendliness since sustainability has grown in importance across all industries.
