Recycled PET Market to Become a USD 22.51 Billion Industry by 2032, Forecasts SkyQuest Technology

The global recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) market is witnessing accelerated growth and transformation, driven by increasing environmental awareness, regulatory push for circular economies, and rising demand from various end-use industries. As sustainability becomes a core focus across sectors, rPET has emerged as a key material in reducing plastic waste and meeting recycling targets. By 2032, the recycled PET market is projected to expand significantly in both volume and value, supported by innovation in recycling technologies and growing global commitments to reducing plastic pollution. The recycled PET market was valued at USD 11.72 billion in 2024 to USD 22.51 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period (2025-2032).

Recycled PET, commonly produced from post-consumer PET bottles, is used in a wide range of applications including packaging, textiles, automotive parts, and construction materials. It offers comparable performance to virgin PET while significantly lowering carbon footprints and conserving energy and resources. The shift in consumer behavior, government regulations on single-use plastics, and corporate sustainability pledges are all contributing to the rise of rPET adoption globally.

The market is segmented into flakes and pellets, with flakes currently dominating due to their extensive use in bottle-to-bottle recycling and fiber production. As recycling infrastructure improves and food-grade applications expand, demand for high-quality rPET pellets is also expected to rise sharply.

Key Market Drivers

A primary driver of rPET market growth is the global movement toward sustainable packaging. Major brands in food and beverage, personal care, and household products are increasingly incorporating recycled materials into their packaging lines. Commitments to using a certain percentage of recycled content, particularly rPET, have become industry norms. This has led to an upsurge in demand for high-purity, food-grade rPET.

Government policies and regulations are another major catalyst. Many countries are introducing mandates for minimum recycled content in packaging and imposing penalties on manufacturers who fail to meet environmental targets. These initiatives are compelling manufacturers and recyclers to invest in capacity expansion and upgrade their technologies.

Technological advancements in mechanical and chemical recycling are also reshaping the market landscape. Improved sorting systems, decontamination processes, and depolymerization methods are enhancing the quality and usability of recycled PET, allowing for broader applications, including food and pharmaceutical-grade packaging.
