Market Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges

Key Market Growth Analysis Driver

Increasing demand for polyethylene from developing countries is notably driving the market growth during the forecast period. Developing nations such as Brazil, South Africa, India, Indonesia, China, and India make substantial contributions to the global market. In addition, many producers of polyethylene are moving their production facilities to these developing nations because of the easy access to land, cheap labor, abundant supply of raw materials, and low cost of transportation.

Moreover, the packaging and automotive industries are seeing significant investments due to the growing population and high purchasing power in Asia-Pacific. In addition, the use of polyethylene is predicted to increase as China and India become the packaging industry's manufacturing centers in Asia-Pacific. Furthermore, the FMCG sector in APAC is booming, as India and China have sizable consumer populations, which drives up demand for polyethylene. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.

Significant  Market Trends and Analysis

New developments in the application of polyethylene is an emerging trend in the market. The trend in the market is the increased application of UHMWPE in high-performance applications, including gaskets, gear wheels, hammers, filters, and cutting boards. In addition, another innovation in the global market is the development of a new polyethylene named metallocene polyethylene (mPE).

Moreover, along with the inherent film toughness, it can also be processed like LDPE. It was developed to eliminate the use of LDPE from film formulations, thereby significantly improving film properties without compromising the efficiency of film production. In addition, developments in mPE include shrink properties that have led to improvements in modern high-performance shrink films. Furthermore, the combination of these mPEs with traditional mPEs helps to produce shrink films (downgauged) with enhanced stiffness and toughness. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.

Major Challenge

Volatility in raw material prices of polyethylene is a major challenge hindering the market growth. The prices of raw materials used to produce polyethylene packaging are highly unpredictable. In addition, this is mainly due to the high dependence on crude oil prices.  Furthermore, the price volatility of petroleum-based raw materials and the increasing demand for polyethylene packaging products in emerging economies are hindering the growth of the market.

Moreover, the prices of polyethylene packaging types, such as LDPE and HDPE, frequently fluctuate as they depend on crude oil prices (because they are petroleum derivatives). Thus, their prices fluctuate depending on the prevailing prices of natural gas and crude oil. In addition, a decline in crude oil prices in recent years prompted players in the oil and gas industry to implement cost-cutting measures such as workforce layoffs and rig idling. Hence, such factors are hindering the market growth during the forecast period.

Segmentation by End-user, Type, and Geography

End-user Analysis

The packaging segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. In the packaging industry, polyethylene is used to make a wide range of goods, including bottles, containers, plastic bags, sheets, films, and geomembranes. In addition, plastics are used by manufacturers and are necessary components of the packaging industry because they are strong and serve as a barrier between moisture and the product.

The packaging segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 39.95 billion in 2018. Moreover, packaging for toys, clothes, and appliances is using more and more plastics like PET and polyethylene. In addition, milk and fresh juice products are packaged in the liquid packaging market using PET and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) polymers. Furthermore, over 70% of soft drinks in the global food and beverage market are packaged in PET plastic bottles, according to the British Plastic Federation (BPF). In addition, food and pharmaceutical companies prefer polyethylene packaging that minimizes product quality degradation and avoids contamination. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of the segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.

Type Analysis 

Based on the type, the market has been segmented into HDPE, LDPE, and LLDPE. The  HDPE segment will account for the largest share of this segment. HDPE segment is the most inflexible and sturdiest type of polyethylene. In addition, this property of HDPE makes it ideal to be used in a wide range of applications. Moreover, HDPE is extensively used globally to produce bottles and gift containers. In addition, HDPE is a heavy material, it finds application in extremely lightweight materials, such as paper-thin foil.  Furthermore, these foils are used globally on a day-to-day basis. In addition, some other applications in which HDPE finds use include pedal bin bags, sandwich bags, and packing for fruit, vegetables, and meat.  Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of the segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.

Region Analysis

APAC is estimated to contribute 45% to the growth of the global market during the projection period. Technavio's analysts have provided extensive insight into the market forecasting, detailing the regional trends and drivers influencing the market's trajectory throughout the projection period.
