2018 Global Report on the Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) Market Forecast to 2022 – Market to Reach $67.83 Billion Growing at a CAGR of 5.5% – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Linear
Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) Market by Application (Films, Injection
Molding, Rotomolding), Process Type (Gas Phase, Solution Phase, Slurry
Loop) & Region (APAC, North America, Europe, Middle East, Latin America)
– Global Forecast to 2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.

The LLDPE market is estimated to be USD 51.89 Billion in 2017 and is
projected to reach USD 67.83 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 5.5% from
2017 to 2022.

The growth of the LLDPE market can be attributed to the availability of
plastic products at affordable rates and increase in demand for
packaging materials.

Based on process type, the gas phase segment is projected to lead the
LLDPE market from 2017 to 2022. LLDPE resins manufactured by the gas
phase process have high tensile strength and are used in various
industrial products, such as custom marine parts, water tanks, and
chemical storage containers as well as consumer products, such as food
packaging materials, heavy-duty sacks, and stretch films.

The films segment is the largest application segment of the LLDPE
market. The growth of the LLDPE market in films application is primarily
driven by the demand for LLDPE films from the packaging sector.

Asia Pacific is expected to lead the LLDPE market during the forecast
period both, in terms of value and volume. The growth of the Asia
Pacific LLDPE market can be attributed to the increasing demand for
packaging films from various end-use industries. China is the largest
importer of polyethylene in the Asia Pacific region. The high demand for
LLDPE resins in China and India is contributing to the growth of the
LLDPE market in the Asia Pacific region.

It also discusses competitive strategies adopted by key market players,
such as Sinopec (China), LyondellBasell (Netherlands), Exxon Mobil (US),
SABIC (Saudi Arabia), The Dow Chemical Company (US), Borealis (Austria),
Formosa Plastics (Taiwan), INEOS (Switzerland), and Westlake Chemical
(US).
