Revenue of Dimethyl Terephthalate from 2018 to 2022 Compared to Demand Outlook for 2023 to 2033

As per the Dimethyl Terephthalate Market research by Persistence Market Research - a market research and competitive intelligence provider, historically, from 2018 to 2022, the market value of Dimethyl Terephthalate increased at around 4.3% CAGR. With an absolute dollar opportunity of US$ 334 Million, the market is projected to reach a US$ 1.2 Billion valuation by 2033.

The prominent applications for DMT are PBT (Polybutane Terephthalate) and PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) which are used across several industries. PBT is predominantly used in the electrical and electronics industry as a system component. Electricals and Electronics market currently account for 35.5% of the PBT consumption and is projected to reach 1.5 Million Metric Tons by 2026.

This rise in demand for PBT will contribute to the growth in demand for DMT as raw material. Apart from this, DMT is also used in PET which is utilized in food packaging, consumer goods, etc. The PET segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9% in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 42 billion by the end of 2023.
