Europe LDPE and LLDPE Market Outlook - 2027

The Europe LDPE and LLDPE market was valued at $10.4 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $16.8 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2020 to 2027.

Like most of the industries, the packaging industry, a leading consumer of LDPE and LLDPE is also facing economic and operational disruption due to COVID-19 impact, which affected the Europe LDPE and LLDPE market growth.

The Europe LDPE and LLDPE market consists of two commonly and abundantly used thermoplastics, which include low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). LDPE is one of the main types of resin in the polyethylene family, characterized by low density and flexibility. It is formed by polymerization of ethylene. LLDPE can be defined as a sub-type of LDPE formed by blending LDPE with alpha-olefins such as butene, hexene, or octene. The resulting LLDPE resin has a similar density to LDPE but the linearity of HDPE. LDPE is the one of the ideal materials in the manufacturing of films for consumer, industrial, and food packaging applications. Other plastics that are used in packaging include high-density polypropylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP). LDPE and LLDPE resins are transformed by processes such as injection molding, film extrusion coating, and blow molding into different products. The high processability of LDPE and LLDPE has increased its use in multiple industry verticals and daily use in applications.

The present demand for LDPE and LLDPE is mainly from the packaging industry that caters to food as non-food consumer & industrial products. Packaging based on LDPE and LLDPE includes rigid packaging formats such as bottles & containers and flexible packaging formats such as films, stand-up pouches, squeezable tubes, cartons, and bag-on-box. Proper selection of packaging is essential to enable its proper transportation and long-term storage. Stretch films are used in the logistics industry to keep packaged goods free of dust, moisture, and dirt along with minimizing physical damages while shipping. LDPE foams are used in various applications such as flooring and acoustic underlay and camping mats. In the agricultural sector, the demand for high crop output has resulted in the use of covering made of plastic, predominantly LDPE. Films function as barrier for evaporation and weed management. The demand for food makes has led to development of specialty LDPE and LLDPE coverings; thereby, increasing product differentiation. In addition, growth of the pharmaceutical industry across Europe has led to surge in usage of LDPE for the packaging of medicines. 

LDPE does not degrade in biological waste processes, such as aerobic composting, anaerobic digestion, or mechanical-biological treatment (MBT). Although LDPE is recycled into compost bins and dispensing bottles, the cost of recycling them is high. Hence, they contribute to a large extent to the plastic waste generated. To minimize the waste generated, The European Union (EU) proposes to regulate the use of plastics. The EU has already banned LDPE-based oxo-degradable plastics. Such regulations are expected to impact the growth of the Europe LDPE and LLDPE market during the forecast period. 

Hence, development of bio-based LDPE and LLDPE resins will provide new opportunities for the LDPE and LLDPE market. In 2019, LyondellBasell and Neste jointly announced the first parallel production of bio-based polypropylene and bio-based low-density polyethylene at a commercial scale. In addition, developing and integrating recycle-ready LDPE and LLDPE resins into post-recycled plastics will help manufacturers and packers achieve circular plastic economy in the long run; thereby, achieving their sustainability goals. This trend will lead to more consumption of post-recycled plastics rather than new plastic manufacturing. Such developments are expected to drive the future demand for LDPE and LDPE plastics during the forecast period. 

The Europe LDPE and LLDPE market is segmented on the basis of type, end-use industry, and country. On the basis of type, the market is divided into low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). On the basis of end-use industry, the Europe LDPE and LLDPE market is categorized into packaging, agriculture, construction, geomembranes, and others.

LDPE and LLDPE plastic materials play a huge role in improving human lives. Polyethylenes, especially linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), are one of the most commonly used plastics in packaging because of their special properties, such as toughness, flexibility, strength, ease of processing, relatively low cost, lightweight, and resistance to water and most water-borne microorganisms. LDPE and LLDPE are transformed using various processes such as blow molding, injection molding, rotational molding, and film extrusion, among others for specific applications. 

The need for better packaging as to ensure health and safety of consumers is increasing the demand for plastic-based food packaging. Apart from protection, packaging plays a crucial role in increasing brand awareness and sales of products. Retailers and wholesalers have focused on bringing on variations in packaging size and functionality to cater to different segments and customer needs. Increase in income and population has led to more food consumption; thus, focus is being put on developing innovative flexible packaging. The bio-based LDPE and LLDPE market is starting to gain momentum and is expected to play a major role in the market growth.
