PET Resin is a very fast growing outlet of all polyester end-use applications.
Indeed, it is now the second largest polyester end-use after fibers.
Our
brand “SKYPET®” is a very high quality PET resin for packaging
application. In addition, it is an environment friendly application, as
it uses little non-toxic waste generation (Air, Waterborne and Solid),
less CO2 generation and its low energy consumption. SKYPET® has received
approvals from Coca-Cola global, Pepsi-Cola International, the Japan Canned
& Food Inspection Association, ISO-9002 from BVQI and most of all
from FDA (Food and Drug Association). These approvals allow us to market
SKYPET® to any related company worldwide.
In term of capacity, we are now is the third largest
PET Resin’ producer in Indonesia with market shares of 23% behind
Polypet and Indorama with 24% of market shares.
The
graph below showed that the PET Resin’ sale was up by US$22.1 million
from US$44.7 million to US$66.8 million in 2000. The rise was caused by
the imbalance of supply and demand.
On the other hand, the sales for 2001 were down by US$1.8 million to US$65
million, from US$66.8 million last year. It mainly due to the uncertainty
and slowdown in the overall economy and the tight competition in the PET
Resin industry. Eighty eight percent of SKYPET®’s sales are
contributed from the export and the rest of twelve percent are dominated
by the local market.
The
graph below explains the % market proportion by 2003 sales.
We are very optimism that the global markets for PET resin will improve
caused by the increase in demand and prices. Supported by the April 2002
Business Report for PET Packaging Resin Consulting Service, which stated
that the higher demand is expected, especially from the continued introduction
and rollout of the small juice containers, the growth in water containers
and the unexpected return of some modest growth in carbonated soft drinks.
In
the US, the end market demand in water and juice is also peaking up. In
addition, the volume for European market and Asia are reported to be higher
due to the unexpectedly good weather and the Easter holiday.
As
for local market, demand for PET Resin in the year of 2001 is estimated
to reach 35,000 ton or 75% higher than last year. It was due to the rise
of local market demand, mainly from the packaged drinking water industry
(AMDK), soft drinks, beers, cosmetics, cooking oil, milk and household
appliances. AMDK is the largest consumers of PET Resin with a total of
60%.
