There is an increasing demand for polyethylene from the packaging
industry. Polyethylene is used for both food and consumer packaging. The
recent rise in income globally, combined with the growth in the number
of middle-class consumers, is driving the consumption of goods that
require plastic packaging. This trend is prominent in APAC, Africa, and
Latin

America. For instance, the Indian packaging industry was valued at about
US$32 billion in 2015 and is expected to grow to approximately US$73
billion in 2020.

One of the procurement best practices for buyers is to engage with
suppliers that have good raw material supply chain associations. Buyers
mainly include ethylene derivative manufacturers. The optimal operation
of buyers' facilities and their capacity to compete effectively in the
market depend on the uninterrupted availability of ethylene feedstock.
Buyers should also select suppliers that have raw material supply
contracts with multiple vendors so that a constant supply can be
ensured. This is also essential as the raw materials for ethylene
production come from the oil and gas industry, where the availability of
product could vary depending on factors such as changes in regional
regulatory policies, politics, and climate.
