Global Polyolefins Market by type polyethylene, polypropylene and others, by application film sheets, blow molding, injection molding, fibers and others, by end user packaging, automotive, construction, pharmaceuticals/medical, electronics electrical and others, and by Region Forecast till 2023
Synopsis of Polyolefins
Polyolefins belongs to a class of polymers which is odorless, nonporous, and nonpolar material that are derived from the polymerization of monomer named as olefin, olefin is made up of only hydrogen and carbon atoms. It is classified as a hydrocarbon with high molecular weight. Polypropylene and polyethylene are one of the types of polyolefins which are used in various application such as blow molding, injection molding, fibers, film sheets, and others. Moreover, they possess excellent properties such as high chemical resistance and superior chemical stability which make them widely utilized in numerous end use industries such as electronics electrical, packaging, construction, automotive, pharmaceuticals medical, and others.
According to Market Research Future Analysis, cumulatively the global polyolefins market is expected to reach USD 324 Billion by 2023 expanding at a CAGR of 6.49% during forecast period of 20172023. According to end user type, packaging and automotive together are about to grow around USD 160 Billion by 2023 which is a clear indication for more demand from these sector and further more demand for polyolefins. The growth of this market is majorly driven by their increasing consumption in consumer goods and FMCG sector. Moreover, polyolefins are widely preferred over metallic and nonmetallic substitutes on account of their light weight, resistance to physical and chemical attacks, and high durability. The above mentioned reason is responsible for their wide usage in production of packaging products which is used on daily basis. Furthermore, rising government regulations regarding the optimization of fuel efficient vehicles has led to raise the demand for light weight automobile parts. Increasing disposable income along with rising lightweight automotive production and sales in developed and developing countries is estimated to drive the demand for polyolefins market. Geographically, Asia Pacific accounted for the largest market share in terms of value and volume. In this China is the largest and India as well as Japan is expected to be the fastest growing market for polyolefins on account of rapid industrialization and growth of end user industries.
