With more stringent environmental restrictions and the fast advancement of intelligent identification technology, the use of PETG (polyethylene terephthalate) materials in the worldwide ID card production business is expanding significantly. According to the most recent market statistics, the Asia-Pacific area is becoming the fastest growing market for PETG card core materials, and demand for high-performance and ecologically friendly card materials is increasing.
Why is the PETG card base film favored by the market?
The PETG card base material has the characteristics of high transparency, impact resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and ease of processing. Moreover, it is more environmentally friendly compared to traditional PVC materials. The PETG card core is not only suitable for thermal sublimation printing, laser engraving, RFID embedding and other processes, but also can be recycled and reused without the need for chlorinated plastics. These advantages make it an ideal choice for various scenarios such as government ID cards, financial IC cards, campus cards, and enterprise access control cards.
The strong driving force of the Asia-Pacific market
The growth in the Asia-Pacific region is mainly driven by the following factors:
Policy support: Countries such as China, India, and Indonesia are promoting the digitalization of public services and are adopting PETG ID cards to meet the requirements of prioritizing both environmental protection and safety.
Population dividend: The large population base means a huge annual renewal volume of ID cards, which drives the demand for material upgrades.
The widespread use of smart cards: The demand for smart cards in fields such as finance, transportation, and healthcare has driven the mass production of PETG card cores.
Environmental regulations are becoming stricter: Some countries have restricted the use of non-biodegradable plastics such as PVC, prompting enterprises to seek greener alternatives.
We have completed the certification of PETG card base material and have formed a cooperation with a large card manufacturing factory.
