據TABNI網站2020年9月17日迪拜報道，全球聚對苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)的年產能在未來5年里將繼續增長，可能從2019年的3047萬噸增長到2024年的3528萬噸，總增長率為16%。

在地區中間，中東地區將引領未來5年全球PET新產能增加，其PET年產能預計將從2019年的352萬噸增至2024年的495萬噸，年均增長率(AAGR)為6.8%。全球領先的數據分析公司GlobalData表示，在亞洲，PET的年生產能力預計將從2019年的1579 萬噸增加到2024年的1779萬噸， AAGR為2.4%。

GlobalData發表的題為《全球聚對苯二甲酸乙二醇酯行業2024年前展望——產能和資本支出預測，包括所有活動和計劃中的PET廠的細節》報告顯示，全球未來5年將有大約10家已計劃和已宣布的PET廠計劃投產，主要分布在亞洲和中東地區。

GlobalData油氣分析師達亞南德?卡拉德表示：“在中東，新增PET產能主要來自沙特阿拉伯。到2024年前，沙特阿拉伯將日增大約100萬噸PET新產能，主要目標是出口。”“在亞洲，新PET產能增加主要來自中國，到2024年前將年增新PET產能100萬噸?！?/span>

GlobalData將北美確定為全球新PET產能增長第三高的地區，產量從2019年的460萬噸增加到2024年的570萬噸，AAGR為4.3%。新增PET產能將主要來自美國，到2024年前其新增PET年產能將達到110萬噸。

ME, Asia to lead global PET capacity additions

The global polyethylene terephthalate (PET) capacity is to grow over the next five years, potentially increasing from 30.47 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) in 2019 to 35.28 mtpa in 2024, registering a total growth of 16%.

Among the regions, the Middle East leads the capacity additions and the region’s polyethylene terephthalate capacity is expected to increase from 3.52 mtpa in 2019 to 4.95 mtpa in 2024, at an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 6.8%. In Asia, polyethylene terephthalate capacity is expected to increase from 15.79 mtpa in 2019 to 17.79 mtpa in 2024, at an AAGR of 2.4%, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

GlobalData’s report, ‘Global Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Industry Outlook to 2024 – Capacity and Capital Expenditure Forecasts with Details of All Active and Planned Plants’, reveals that around 10 planned and announced plants are scheduled to come online, predominantly in Asia and the Middle East over the next five years.

Dayanand Kharade, Oil and Gas Analyst at GlobalData, says: “In the Middle East, major capacity additions are from Saudi Arabia, which will add a capacity of around 1 mtpa by 2024 mostly targeting exports. In Asia, major capacity additions are from China, with capacity of 1 mtpa by 2024.”

GlobalData identifies North America as the third highest region in terms of capacity additions, with capacity increase from 4.60 mtpa in 2019 to 5.70 mtpa in 2024, at an AAGR of 4.3%. Major capacity additions will be from the US with a capacity of 1.10 mtpa by 2024.
