Dimethyl Terephthalate: Introduction
·
Dimethyl terephthalate is the primary monomer used in the
manufacture of polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate
polymers. It possesses properties such as low reaction temperature, high
purity, excellent thermal resistance, and high additive dispersion. Thus,
dimethyl terephthalate is an ideal material in the manufacture of
terephthalate-based polymers. Additionally, dimethyl terephthalate is often
used in the manufacture of industrial plastics. It is also employed as an
intermediate in the manufacture of herbicides, paints, inks, and adhesives.
·
Dimethyl terephthalate is commonly produced by oxidation and
esterification of paraxylene. Methanol, another raw material, is also used in
the manufacture of dimethyl terephthalate.
Key Drivers of Dimethyl Terephthalate Market
·
Increase in demand for bottled water and ready-to-eat food
products have boosted the production of plastics such as films and bottles.
Polyethylene terephthalate possesses attributes such as high clarity, low
permeability, excellent printability, and recyclability. Therefore, it is increasingly
used in the formulation of flexible packaging films, beverage bottles, etc.
This is expected to drive the demand for dimethyl terephthalate in the
production of polyethylene terephthalate.
·
Growth in population and increase in demand for raw materials
such as minerals, fossil fuels, and biomass have adversely affected the
environment, primarily the biodiversity. Furthermore, changes in the Earth’s
climatic condition has led to an increase in emission levels of carbon dioxide
across the globe. These factors have created an imbalance in the ecosystem,
thereby giving rise to a move toward eco-friendly products. This has led to an
increase in research and development for the manufacture of biomass-based
dimethyl terephthalate.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Dimethyl Terephthalate Market
·
The dimethyl
terephthalate market is directly linked with the consumption of
polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate. These are the major
shareholders of global consumption of dimethyl terephthalate. The spread of the
coronavirus disease across the globe led to closure of manufacturing sites of
polyethylene terephthalate in the first quarter of 2020. Additionally,
acceleration in U.S.-China trade war as well as increasing delay in procurement
of raw materials such as methanol and dimethyl terephthalate are likely to
adversely affect the global demand for polyethylene terephthalate. This, in
turn, is estimated to adversely affect the global dimethyl terephthalate market
in the near future.
·
Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited is using polyethylene
terephthalate bottles for the manufacture of personal protective equipment
(PPE) suits in order to combat the widespread of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is
driving the demand for dimethyl terephthalate during the pandemic.

Asia Pacific to Hold Major Share of Global Dimethyl
Terephthalate Market
·
In terms of region, the global dimethyl terephthalate market can
be split into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle
East & Africa
·
Asia Pacific is a leading consumer of dimethyl terephthalate.
High share of the region can be ascribed to growth in population and rise in
disposable income of the people in the region. Furthermore, rapid urbanization
and fast-paced lifestyles are likely to boost the consumption of ready-to-eat
foods in the near future. These factors are expected to drive the production as
well as consumption of films, juice bottles, and bottled water made of
polyethylene terephthalate. Increase in consumption of polyethylene terephthalate
across the region is anticipated to boost the production of dimethyl
terephthalate, due to its excellent adhesion ability and purity.
