Full analysisRevenue guidance
Category 3- Volume growth in near term expected to be low single digit since current capacity utilization is near full (~88,000 to 90,000 MTPA), with gradual increases to 90,000-93,000 MTPA by second half of next year post new capacity additions (Page 21).
- A new 120 tons/day POY expansion to be operational by June 2022 will add about 3,600 tons/year, supporting volume increase (Page 7).
- Focus on recycled polyester plants: a pilot 100 tons/day recycled plant planned by September 2023, followed by potential multiple similar plants, enabling unique product offerings and sustainable growth (Page 21).
- Beyond 2024, potential Greenfield projects could push capacity beyond 0.5 million tons, subject to market conditions (Page 21).
- Revenue growth aided by improved product mix and price realizations along with capacity expansion, with planned investments in both recycled and conventional capacities (Pages 19-21).
