According to a new research report by Future Market Insights titled ‘PET Stretch Blow Moulding Machines Market: Global Industry Analysis 2012 – 2016 and Opportunity Assessment 2017 – 2027,’ the global PET stretch blow moulding machines market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.2% during the forecast period. The global PET stretch blow moulding machines market was valued at over US$ 600 million in 2017 and is expected to reach a valuation in excess of US$ 800 million by the end of 2027.  

Trends and opportunities

Rising demand for stretch blow moulded products across various industries has increased the demand immensely for PET stretch blow moulding machines. Manufactures are increasing their investments on design and development of energy efficient PET stretch blow moulding machines with a large number of blowing cavities and feed lines. Manufacturers are producing PET stretch blow moulding machines compatible with various end use needs such as the ability to manufacture products withstanding high temperature or pasteurisation process and self-collapsible containers. Also, for the longer run production cycle, two step PET stretch blow moulding machines are proving to be more economical over single step PET stretch blow moulding machines.

Consumer preference for bottled water to drive global PET stretch blow moulding machines market

PET stretch blow moulding machines are largely used in the production of bottles and thus it witnesses highest demand from the beverage industry. However, lately the demand for soft drinks has decreased exceptionally due to growing health concerns among people. Consumers are more inclined towards healthy eating habits and thus, instead of soft drinks, the demand for bottled water has increased especially in the U.S. The lack of access to potable water is also an issue in various regions. Countries such as Costa Rica and Mexico in Latin America are facing water crisis. People are installing additional water capacities for meeting their daily water demand; however, access to potable water is a big concern for the countries in the region. The overall demand for PET bottles has helped increase the concentration of PET stretch blow moulding machine manufacturers in many countries. Two step PET stretch blow moulding machines have increased the capability of manufacturers to produce stretch blow moulded products at very high speed in large quantities.
