Market Overview

The BOPET Film Market operates as a sustainable high-performance sector that experiences rapid expansion because of increasing demand for flexible, lightweight, recyclable packaging solutions that customers need for their food, pharmaceutical and consumer electronics packaging needs. BOPET films function as essential materials for packaging, electronics, industrial, and imaging uses due to their durability, clarity and ability to withstand moisture and chemical exposure. BOPET films show growing adoption in food packaging and labelling, insulation and protective applications because industries require high-performance sustainable packaging solutions.

Flex Packaging Films business launched F-TFE Thermoform able BOPET film. The F-TFE Mono or Co-extruded transparent Biaxial-Oriented Polyethene Terephthalate BOPET film has been developed specifically for thermoforming applications that require deep formation.

In 2020, Dow Packaging and Speciality Plastics introduced new tender frame systems together with TF-BOPE materials used to create linear low-, medium and high-density packaging films. The governments of Germany, France and the United Kingdom currently support research and development for environmentally friendly BOPET films and bio-based materials that will decrease dependence on new fossil-based plastic products.
