Get detailed COVID-19 impact analysis on the Polyethylene Wax Market
Request Now !The global polyethylene wax market size was valued at $1.1 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $1.5 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 2.9% from 2022 to 2031.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively impacted polyethylene wax market owing to decreased demand for various end-use industries like paint & coating, building & construction and plastic industry during COVID-19.
Wax made of polyethylene is a sort of synthetic wax that is more generally referred to as PE wax. It is a polyethylene with a high molecular weight that is made up of ethylene monomer chains in its structure. The production of polyethylene wax can be performed using a variety of methods, including polymerization of ethylene. Because of its features, such as high heat resistance, formulation flexibility, regulated molecular weight, low melt viscosity, and thermal stability, it is used in the process of making plastic. Lubricants, rubber adhesives, candles, cosmetics, and plastic additives are some of the products that make use of polyethylene wax.

Plastic is utilized in the production of a wide range of goods, including those employed in the textile, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, food packaging, automotive, coating, and other sectors. It is anticipated that the demand for polyethylene wax is expected to increase at a quick rate as a result of the rise in the number of end-use applications for the product. The expansion in the building industry is expected to propel the polyethylene wax market. Paints and coatings make use of polyethylene wax because it has a good quantity of water repellency, improves texture, carries anti-settling capabilities, and provides abrasion resistance. In addition, it has anti-settling properties. Fabrics can have their textures improved with emulsions made from polyethylene wax, and the color of the cloth will not shift. As a result, the textile industry makes use of polyethylene wax. The expansion of the polyethylene wax market has been fueled by these factors.Â
Wax alternatives, such as Carnauba wax, paraffin wax, candelilla wax, micro wax, soya wax, and palm wax can be used in place of polyethylene wax. It is possible to use organic wax in place of polyethylene wax. Polyethylene wax is more expensive than other types of wax. The vast majority of specialty waxes are organic waxes, and these waxes are utilized in several items that are utilized on a daily basis. It is anticipated that the availability of replacements such as gas-to-liquid (GTL) wax for a variety of applications will be a factor that hinders the polyethylene wax market growth.
The ink and coating business makes extensive use of polyethylene wax as a result of its many desirable features, which include improved slipperiness and rubbing, resistance to abrasion and scratching, resistance to moisture, and many others. The superior matting effect, blocking, and anti-blocking capabilities of polyethylene wax have led to its growing use in a variety of chemical industries. The major market players that are currently working in the polyethylene wax market are expanding the growth strategies they use to extend their product range to meet customer demand. The expansion of the polyethylene wax market in the region is significantly influenced by the rapidly increasing population and rapid urbanization that is taking place in developing countries. This creates a lucrative opportunity for the market for polyethylene wax.
The polyethylene wax market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region.
