Global Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) Market Insights, Forecast to 2025

Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) is semi-crystalline, white or off-white polyester similar in both composition and properties to polyethyleneterephthalate (PET). It is a thermoplastic engineering polymer that is used as an insulator in the electrical, electronics, automobile, mechanical equipment and precision instruments industries. Compared to PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PBT has slightly lower strength and rigidity, slightly better impact resistance, and a slightly lower glass transition temperature.
In this report, the volume of PBT is calculated by PBT resin, excluding PBT modified resin.

The production of PBT increases from 808.6 K MT in 2011 to 1101.8 K MT in 2016, at a CAGR of 6.38%. In 2016, the global PBT market is led by China, accounting for 41.93% global PBT production. Europe is the second-largest region-wise market, account for 20.53%.
At present, the major manufacturers of PBT are concentrated in Changchun, BASF, Sabic, DuBay Polymer (Lanxess, DuPont) and Ticona (Celanese). Changchun is the world leader, holding 11.13% production market share in 2016. Polymer Technology and Services PBT is marketed under a wide variety of brand names by these companies.
PBT downstream is wide and recently PBT has acquired increasing significance in various fields of automotive, electrical & electronic and consumer goods applications. Globally, the PBT market is mainly driven by growing demand for automotive applications. Automotive account for nearly 49.02% of total downstream consumption of PBT in global.
