Polyethylene, also known as polythene, is the most commonly used plastic. It is chemically synthesized from ethylene. Polyethylene is used in various products, such as packaging products, pond liners, pipes, molds, wires, cables, general purpose tubes, drums, carrier bags, and household goods as it can be easily remolded. There are three major types of polyethylene: high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE).
The analysts forecast the Global Polyethylene market to grow at a CAGR of 3.71 percent over the period 2013-2018.
This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Polyethylene market for the period 2014-2018. In terms of type, the Global Polyethylene market can be segmented into three: HDPE, LDPE, and LLDPE.
The report, the Global Polyethylene Market 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the Americas, and the APAC and EMEA regions; it also covers the Global Polyethylene market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
One of the emerging trends in this market is the use of swing technology in upcoming polyethylene projects. Many manufacturers are implementing swing technology, which helps in producing either High-density Polyethylene or Linear Low-density Polyethylene, depending on the market demand.
According to the report, the most important driver in the market is the increased consumption of packaging materials. Consumers worldwide prefer flexible packaging compared to rigid packaging.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges confronting the market is raw material volatility. The market is experiencing fluctuations in prices of raw materials such as naphtha, which affect the production of polyethylene.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
