Global PET Felt Panels Market: Overview

Felt is a part of the larger textile industry. It is produced by condensing, matting, and pressing a large number of fibers into a single unit. Felt is available in various materials including wool, animal fibers, and synthetic material. PET felt is made of synthetic materials and is also known as polyester felt due to the manufacturing process including recycled polyester. The product derives its name from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). It is used extensively to produce a wide range of packaging materials and plastic bottles. PET felt panels, on the other hand, are longer sheets or panels made using PET felt fibers. Although felt has been in existence for more than 1000 years, the PET version including panels has gained widespread popularity in the last decade. They are used as interior design materials since they exhibit excellent acoustic properties. The industry for PET felt panels has gained a higher number of consumers in recent times and during the forecast period, the market is expected to register steady growth.

Global PET Felt Panels Market: Growth Drivers

Growing use of PET felt panels in the food service industry to drive market growth

The global PET felt panels market is projected to grow owing to the increasing use of PET felt panels in the food service industry. PET felt panels offer multiple advantages to hotels, restaurants, and cafes that are seeking measures to not only improve customer experience but also contribute to the ecosystem by using recycled materials. PET felt panels are extremely versatile as they offer higher customization opportunities. PET felt is highly durable. It can be recycled numerous times without impacting the quality. Due to the excellent attributes of this material, companies have invested heavily in providing consumers, especially the ones operating in the food service industry, with options such as wall coverings, systems, partitions, tiles, and panels made of PET felt. They also help in improving the acoustic design of the unit they are used in, making them ideal decorative items for commercial spaces. The global food service industry growth is driven by factors such as increasing disposable income, the unveiling of new restaurants and eateries across price ranges, the rising international market presence of cafes & restaurant chains, and the changing lifestyle of the general population.

For instance, in June 2023, Firehouse Subs, a sandwich-offering food retail chain mainly operating in the North American market, opened its first outlet outside North America. The new location is in Zurich, Europe. Additionally, Middle Eastern countries including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, and others are witnessing a host of new high-end hotels. The much-anticipated inaugurations included Fairmont Ramla Serviced Residences Riyadh, Raffles Jeddah, and many more.

Restraints:

Higher dependency on recycled materials to restrict market expansion

The global PET felt panel market is not shielded completely from issues that could potentially restrict its growth trajectory. For instance, one of the key attributes of PET felt panels that include the use of recycled material could work against its expansion rate. This is mainly due to the high dependency of the products on recycled polyester fibers. While the product is available in abundance, there are serious concerns surrounding the consistent supply of these raw materials. In addition to this, several other industries including outdoor or sport apparel brands are competing for the use of recycled polyester as a way to reduce carbon footprint which could further cause producers of PET felt panels to witness surging demand but limited supply in the coming years.

Opportunities:

Growing innovation in the field of PET felt panels to provide growth opportunities

The PET felt panel industry could register higher growth opportunities owing to the increasing research and innovation directed toward the development of highly efficient PET felt panels with more versatility and applications. The trend is especially seen in the development of acoustic panels. For instance, in February 2022, Output, a US-based producer of music creation systems including Portal, Exhale, and Arcade, announced the launch of Eco Acoustic Panels which is a comprehensive acoustic treatment system. Output built the new tool in association with De-Fi, a renowned sound science expert. The PET felt panels used in the system are excellent for removing low-frequency build-up and unwanted reflections. In April 2023, Spigogroup launched SPIGOLINE PET made of wood slat cladding with PET felt insulation. The product is made of 80% recycled polyester fibers while being 100% recyclable.

Challenges:

Availability and consumption of alternate materials to challenger market expansion

One of the key challenges faced by the PET felt panel industry is the availability and growing consumption of alternate materials that offer similar performance. This includes wool-based felt since it is a natural alternative. Other examples include products such as cork panels and wood-based fiber panels. Other forms of felt panels offer a mix of advantages and disadvantages over PET-based panels. Wood-based panels are known to be more sustainable, durable, and resistant to moisture. Since end-users have a range of options to choose from, the industry share for PET-felt panels remains restricted.
