Textiles comprising polylactic acid offer excellent drapability, breathability, and durability. PTT is a semi-crystalline polymer manufactured by polycondensation of trimethylene glycol with either dimethyl terephthalate or terephthalic acid. PTT-based products exhibit various superior characteristics including quick-drying, heat retention, resistance to stretching, wrinkle resistance, and high stiffness and tensile & flexural strength. These excellent characteristics have resulted in promoting demand from the textile and carpet industries. In addition, it possesses an enhanced surface and flows finish.
The government initiatives and expenditure on the installment of manufacturing units for the production of PTT have created opportunities for investors in recent years, which are likely to boost production in the country. This, in turn, is projected to have a positive impact on product demand in the U.S. The U.S. is expected to dominate the industry over the forecast period owing to the increasing demand from the textile sector. Furthermore, PTT finds usage across various applications in automotive, medical, and many other end-use segments in the U.S. Rising demand for polytrimethylene terephthalate-based materials is anticipated to expand to the realm of various applications, such as film materials and fibers.
Higher manufacturing costs and patented process are reducing the chances of its wide adoption. This, in turn, is creating major restraints for the market in upcoming years. In addition, growing environmental pollution from the chemical and petrochemical industries is expected to be one of the key concerns for the PET market. All these factors are derailing the progress of polytrimethylene terephthalate market.

By type, the industry has been further categorized into bio-based and petroleum-based PTT. The bio-based PTT type segment is anticipated to expand further at the fastest growth rate retaining its dominant position in the global industry throughout the forecast period. Bio-based PTT exhibits higher elastic recovery, softness, and stretching & wrinkle resistance, making it suitable for manufacturing of different film materials and fibers, such as carpet fabrics, automotive fabrics, apparel, and engineering plastics.
The growing awareness about the use of eco-friendly plastic-based products and strict environmental regulations, such as a ban on single-use plastics, have positively boosted the segment growth. Thus, bio-based PTT type segment is expected to dominate the overall industry and accounted for the maximum share of more than 78% of the global revenue in 2025. Furthermore, petroleum-based PTT is expected to grow at a steady rate from 2025 to 2032 due to a rise in demand from various applications, such as medical, industrial area, commercial, and municipal fields as a result of its properties, such as profound stability and mechanical, thermal, & chemical resistance as well as dimensional stability.
The textile is expected to emerge as the dominant end-use segment for polytrimethylene terephthalate market by accounting for more than 30% market share in 2025. Owing to its properties including higher strength, enhanced elasticity, higher abrasion, and wrinkle resistance. Increasing investments in sports activities globally are augmenting the growth of the sports clothing and accessories market, which, in turn, is expected to drive the demand for PTT fibers. Various types of clothing, such as t-shirts and jackets, use fiber produced from PTT. Hence, PTT finds its suitability across the manufacturing of fibers and carpets and is anticipated to witness further growth during the forecast period.
The automotive industry is expected to grow at a steady pace over the forecast period, owing to the rising disposable income and increasing demand of the middle-class population. The growth of the automotive industry is anticipated to boost the growth owing to their uses in different automobile components and accessories such as automobile carpets, seating fabrics, side, roof, floor, and door panels, safety belts, tires, airbags, air filters, fuel filters, insulation materials, and various others. Moreover, stringent regulations imposed on the automotive industry related to pollution are driving the market.
As a result of these regulations, there is an increased demand for PTT products in the automotive and transportation industries. The growth in demand for personal hygiene products, such as toothbrushes and hand sanitizers, along with housewares, cosmetic goods, and convenience goods, is sharply increasing owing to the stockpiling and panic-purchasing by consumers. This shift in consumer buying behavior and structural change in the consumer goods industry is expected to augment the product demand over the forecast period.
The growth of the fiber segment can be credited to the high demand from various applications, such as carpet fabrics, automotive fabric, apparel, and engineering plastics.
