Metallocene Polyethylene (mPE) Market
The global metallocene polyethylene (mPE) market is estimated to witness a moderately high growth during the forecast period, 2019-2024. Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period, fuelled by increasing shift in end-user preference towards visually appealing packaging.
Increasing Demand of Metallocene Polyethylene (mPE) Market from the Packaging Industry
The packaging industry is growing at an annual growth rate of approximately 3.6% globally, owing to the increasing demand from various end-user industries, like food & beverage, consumer goods, and personal care, among others. The metallocene polyethylene has been showcasing higher demand in flexible packaging, owing to its higher capability and efficiency in sealing and optical properties. The mPE provides better strength and toughness comparative to traditional films, and also is an alternative for multilayer structure. In addition, it also helps in easy processing, which causes less material usage and makes it more cost-effective and efficient. TOTAL, ExxonMobil, INEOS, Chevron Phillips, SABIC, Borealis AG, Braskem, and Repsol, among others are the major manufacturers of mPE, which are continuously investing in R&D for better products of mPE, compared to existing and traditional packaging resin materials.
Films Being the Largest Application Market
mPE has various applications, such as films, sheets, blow molding, injection molding, extrusion coatings, etc. Films dominate the market, as its usage as packaging films is the highest in different packaging applications in various end-user industries, such as food & beverage, healthcare, agriculture, etc. The sheets and injection molding applications are growing at a faster pace, owing to the product efficiency and long-term usages.
Asia-Pacific expected to have the Highest CAGR during the Forecast Period
The Asia-Pacific accounted for the highest market share in packaging market in 2017, and is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The demand for mPE in the region is the highest amongst other regional market due to the increasing demand and applications in food & beverage, personal care, automotive, construction, etc. China is the largest producer, as well as the highest consumer in the region. India is expected to have the highest CAGR for mPE market in the region followed by China, and ASEAN countries. North American region is expected to have the second highest CAGR after Asia-Pacific, followed by Europe, South America, and Middle East & Africa.
