Europe is the largest Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT) market with about 31% market share. Asia-Pacific is follower, accounting for about 29% market share.
Read the full market overview
The market is highly concentrated. There are four larger manufacturers in the market. DuPont maintained its largest position, which makes up 60% market share in terms of revenue.
In this study, the market for Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT) consumption divided into four geographic regions: In Americas, total Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT) accounted for 34%. In the Europe, total Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT) accounted for 30%. The market in Asia Pacific Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT) accounted for 32%, and in global other region 3%. Among all regions, Americas held the largest share of the Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT) market. APAC is one of the fastest growing region of Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT) market. China is the largest contributor to the Asia Pacific. Along with the development of Chinese domestic Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT), China domestic Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT) has been mature and advanced, and the performance distance has been shorten compared with the imported Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT).
On the basis of product type, the Bio-based Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT) segment is projected to account for the largest share during the forecast period; this segment was estimated to account for 92% global revenue share in 2020.
Most of the PTT is used for producing PTT fibers (around 83%), and the about half of the PTT fibers are used to make carpets. Shaw Industries and Mohawk Flooring are the world biggest carpet manufactures and also the very important consumer of DuPont’s PTT fiber.
