Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a resin that is created by esterifying two monomers: modified ethylene glycol and pure terephthalic acid. The resultant polymer is known as polyethylene terephthalate. Bio-based polyethylene is composed of refined PTA (terephthalic acid), a chemical component of crude oil, and MEG, a component of sugarcane ethanol (monoethylene glycol). Examples of products that use them include bottles, foam, pressure-sensitive sticky tapes, and cosmetics. PET, also known as polyethylene terephthalate, is a multipurpose, recyclable plastic that doesn't release any dangerous chemicals into the environment. Three or four cycles of treatment are not enough to break its chemical integrity. Polyethylene terephthalate is widely utilized in many industries, including the food and beverage, automotive, electronic, and textile sectors, because of its many beneficial features.

The market for polyethylene terephthalate has grown as a result of rising demand for the material in food and beverage packaging, particularly carbonated soft drink containers. Polyethylene terephthalate is the sole material that can meet the growing demand for beverage bottles and alternatives to glass and metal containers because of its versatility in size and shape. The need for polyethylene terephthalate increased during the forecast period due to the growing demand in the food and beverage packaging industry. 

The main factors acting as a restraint and posing a further challenge to the growth of the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) market during the aforementioned forecast period are the rise in stringent government norms and regulations related to the use of PET material, as well as the increased availability of substitute products in the market and lower PET recycling rates due to high contamination. Nine out of ten polyethylene terephthalate bottles are recycled in India, which has an impact on the production of polyethylene terephthalate, according to a 2019 article in The Economic Times. The "Clean India Mission," which aims to "sensitize" the public to the risks of single-use plastics and eradicate them in three years, was announced by India in October 2019. Tight restrictions on plastic product manufacturing and recycling hurt the market for polyethylene terephthalate.

The market for bio-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was negatively impacted by the current corona virus disease outbreak. The market suffered significant financial losses as a result of the major interruptions in various manufacturing and supply-chain processes caused by the multiple precautionary lockdowns enforced by governments to stop the spread of disease. Furthermore, as the outbreak has had a negative influence on the general economic status of most people, there has been a decline in consumer demand as people are now more focused on cutting non-essential expenses from their budgets. The market's revenue trajectory will be measured during the forecast period by the aforementioned determinants. Positively, it is anticipated that the market would rebound when specific regulatory agencies start to ease these imposed lockdowns. The halted and canceled activities will go on.
