PET catalysts play a critical role in improving polymer quality, production efficiency, and recyclability, enabling manufacturers to meet both regulatory standards and consumer expectations. A key market driver is the shift toward recycled PET (R-PET) and bio-based PET, supported by technological advancements in catalyst formulations that enhance polymer performance while reducing environmental impact. Consumer demand for transparency, product safety, and recognizability in packaging, especially in food contact applications, further boosts the need for high-quality PET resins, which rely on efficient and specialized catalysts.
