Growth Opportunities in the Global Linear Low Density Polyethylene Market

Revenue in the global ldpe market experienced significant growth during the last five years, and the industry revenue is forecast to reach an estimated $41.1 billion in 2017 with good growth over the next five years (2012-2017). It is extensively used in applications such as food packaging and non-food packaging, heavy-duty sacks,

injection molding, agriculture, cast films, and rotomolding.

Lucintel’s research indicates that high growth in associated manufacturing industries such as packaging, construction, automotive will boost the industry. Replacement of the low density polyethylene market by linear low density polyethylene due to its low cost and high mechanical quality will be the industry’s main driver. Fluctuation of crude oil and ethylene prices is likely to affect the profit margins of linear low density polyethylene players. Introduction of metallocene linear low density polyethylene is a groundbreaking emerging trend that could lead the industry to new growth.
