Linear Low-density Polyethylene Market Analysis
The Global Linear Low-density Polyethylene (LLDPE) market is estimated to register a CAGR of over 5% during the forecast period. Due to the impact of COVID-19, linear low-density polyethylene production and the ethylene raw material supply chain were highly affected but eventually recovered in 2021. Due to hygiene and safety concerns, the packaging industry has seen an enormous surge, thereby increasing the demand for the LLDPE market, which is expected to recover further in 2022. The automotive, healthcare, e-commerce, and packaging industries are among the major end-user industries of linear low-density polyethylene.
- The major factors driving the growth of the market studied are the rise in demand for packaging and surging demand for film and sheets.
- On the flip side, substituting other polyethylene products and banning plastics reduce market growth during the forecast period.
- The development of Metallocene linear low-density polyethylene (mLLDPE) is likely to act as an opportunity in the future, mLLDPE has relatively more puncture resistance than LLDPE.
