Earlier Report Observations

The Belgian market for non-reinforced, non-laminated PET sheets experienced significant fluctuations in physical volume between 2019 and 2024. After starting at 24 252 t in 2019, consumption surged by 20% to 29 051 t in 2020 and reached a peak of 35 240 t in 2021. This was followed by a sharp contraction of 22% to 27 544 t in 2022, after which the market stabilized around 28 000 t in 2023 and 2024.

In value terms, the market displayed a different trajectory, growing consistently from 53.7 million USD in 2019 to 82.6 million USD in 2022 despite the volume drop that year, indicating a substantial increase in average unit prices.
