Purified terephthalic acid (PTA) is an organic compound produced by a reaction between the secondary petroleum product paraxylene (PX) and acetic acid. It is widely utilized in the manufacturing of man-made polyester fabrics, which find extensive usage in sportswear, swimsuits, dresses, trousers, curtains, sofa covers, jackets, car seat covers, and bedsheets. In addition to this, as it exhibits excellent weathering, hardness, flexibility, chemical and stain resistance, and powder flow and fluidization characteristics, PTA is gaining traction across the globe for formulating general metal, appliance, industrial maintenance, and coil coatings.
The boosting sales of on-the-go bottled beverages on account of the hectic lifestyles of working professionals, inflating per capita income, rapid urbanization, and changing consumption patterns of individuals represent one of the key factors impelling the market growth. Apart from this, PTA is used in the manufacturing of light-colored, high-strength, and solvent-free adhesives, which find extensive applications to bond metal, wood, paper, and synthetics in shoe fabrication, lamination, and automotive sub-assembly. It is further utilized in the production of recording tapes, tire cord, cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM), terephthaloyl chloride (TCL), co-polyester-ether elastomers, plasticizers, and liquid crystal. Moreover, PTA is employed in the pharmaceutical industry as a raw material for several drugs that help treat chronic and acute diseases, such as peptic ulcers, reflux esophagitis and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This, in confluence with the escalating need for prescribed drugs due to the increasing prevalence of chronic medical ailments, is contributing to the market growth. Besides this, several leading players operating in the market are focusing on collaborations and partnerships with other organizations to reduce costs and improve product quality, which is anticipated to drive the market.
