Linear Low-Density Polyethylene Market worth over $60 billion by 2024

  • Published Date: April 7, 2017

According to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc., the Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) Market size will cross USD 60 billion by 2024. Increasing demand in retail packaging, automotive, agriculture and other consumer goods sector will drive the market during forecast timeframe.
 

Global packaging industry is set to cross $1 trillion by 2024, with its major usage in paper & board sector. Innovation in processed food and beverages products packaging designs is taking place as leading brands such as Cadbury, Nestle, etc., are setting a global benchmark for different package formats.
 

LLDPE demand as a substitute for other polyethylene grades such as LDPE and HDPE is increasing, owing to better physical and chemical properties of the product. The polymer is extensively used in canal lining, hazardous waste liners, mining, packaging industry, and geomembrane liners. Increasing application avenues of the product is set to accelerate the linear low-density polyethylene market at a substantial pace.
 

LLDPE is also used in manufacturing bags and sacks due to growing demand for rigid posture and excellent finish in final products. It is also increasingly used for other applications such as injection molding, a plastic component manufacturing process. This process is used to produce bottle caps, automotive dashboards, pocket combs, and wire spools. Growing injection molding adoption in the manufacturing industry coupled with rising applications of this technology augments linear low-density polyethylene market.
