Study #3210October 2014 6200495 PagesWorld PolyethyleneIndustry Study with Forecasts for 2018 & 2023Demand will be driven by polyethylene’s versatility, easy processability, low cost, and recyclability; by new ethylene feedstocks; and by improved polymerization catalyst technologies.World demand to rise 4.0%annually through 2018Global demand for polyethylene resinswill rise 4.0 percent per year to 99.6million metric tons in 2018, valued at 164 billion. Gains will match overallworld economic growth, fueled by anacceleration in consumer spending andmanufacturing activity. Polyethylene willcontinue to be the most widely usedplastic resin in the world, benefiting fromits versatility, easy processability, lowcost, and recyclability. The developmentof ethylene feedstocks from new sourcessuch as shale gas, coal, and biobasedmaterials will also give polyethylene aprice advantage over other plasticresins. Moreover, continually improvingpolymerization catalyst technologies willenhance the performance, customization, and yield of polyethylene resins.Further increases will be limited, however, by the highly commoditized andmature position of polyethylene. Additionally, major polyethylene applicationssuch as plastic bags have increasinglybecome subject to environmentalregulations and bans.Asia/Pacific region toremain largest, fastestgrowing marketThe Asia/Pacific region will continue tobe the largest and fastest growingpolyethylene market through 2018,fueled by strong growth in China, whichalone accounted for nearly one-quarterof global demand in 2013. India andWorld Polyethylene Demand, 2018Asia/Pacific(99.6 million metric tons)North AmericaWestern EuropeOther RegionsVietnam will also be among the world’smost rapidly expanding markets. However, advances in most emerging Asiancountries will rise at a slower pace thanduring the 2008-2013 period. On theother hand, North America will see asignificant improvement in polyethylenedemand, while the markets in WesternEurope and Japan will rebound fromrecent declines.LLDPE to gain marketshare over LDPEHDPE is the most widely used of thethree polyethylene resins, accounting forjust under half of total demand in 2013.Above average growth is expected forHDPE through 2018, driven by its risinguse in construction products such aspipe and the increasing popularity ofblow-molded HDPE containers inemerging market countries. LLDPE willcontinue to gain market share overLDPE going forward, as LLDPE is theprimary beneficiary of metallocenecatalyst technology, which improvesresin performance. Packaging willremain the largest outlet for polyethylene, accounting for a majority of demandin 2018. The resin’s favorable sealing,stiffness, moisture barrier, and clarityproperties make it an indispensiblematerial in the packaging industry. Filmaccounts for about half of global polyethylene demand and tends to comprise aparticularly large portion of the market indeveloping countries.Copyright 2014 The Freedonia Group, Inc.Click here to purchase onlinePage Order now, click here!

Although the use of plastic packaging in China remains low by global standards, this sector is expanding due to the advantages offered by polyethylene over competitive packaging materials suchas glass, metal, and paper. Food packaging applications for polyethylenewill see particularly strong growth, in part due to health and food safetyconcerns triggered by recent scares involving fresh food that spoiledor was contaminated due to poor refrigeration.
