Overview of the global linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) market
Technavio's market study identifies the high demand from the flexible packaging segment to be one of the primary growth factors for the linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) market. Flexible packaging is a container made of flexible or easily yielding materials that can readily change shape when it is filled or closed and it can be made of foil, paper, plastic film, or several combinations. Flexible packaging is primarily preferred by manufacturers and retailers due to their features such as lightweight property, reduced transportation cost, and easy recyclability. Flexible packaging is increasingly preferred in the packaging of ready-to-eat food products and beverages. Our market research analysts estimate that this market will grow steadily at a CAGR of about 6% by 2021.
Developed economies such as the UK, the US, and Germany have stringent regulations pertaining to the recycling of LLPDE plastics due to the growing environmental issues. Materials are increasingly recycled and reused to cater to the increasing demand for environmental sustainability. The European Commission also adopted the new Circular Economy Package to make the transition to a circular economy through which the resources will be used in a more-efficient and sustainable manner. The increase in recycling will be one of the key trends that will gain traction in the LLDPE market during the next four years.
