Strategising in a crowded market
New PET capacities coming on stream has hit the danger mark. European PET markets will be flooded with excess supplies, although some suggest that it may keep away Asian suppliers, it also means that margins will be under further threat. At CMT’s 7th CEEPET, major resin producers are meeting to assess growth direction.

With the increase in PET supplies, the demand for PTA is estimated to grow by around 1 million tonne/year. New PTA plants are already planned for in Lithuania, Poland, Russia and one under study in Portugal. What is the impact on feedstock prices upon the start-up of these plants? PET capacity additions have also spurred investments in MEG plants. Prices for MEG are expected to drop as these new capacities come on stream in the MidEast and Asia. Leading PTA and MEG producers will analyse the supply and demand balance.

Demand for PET performs is growing steadily in CEE. In emerging Romania, the sales volume of PET beer bottles alone grew by 26% last year. 7th CEEPET will highlight the outlook and growth prospects of various PET applications in Slovenia, Serbia & Montenegro, Romania and Ukraine. Regional brand owners will also come together to share the outlook of beverage and beer markets.

Hungary and Serbia have established more effective PET waste collection system. Recovery and recycling efforts in Slovenia and Romania will also be highlighted.
