The polyolefins market was valued at $133.9 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $446.6 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 12.5% from 2021 to 2028.

Numerous industries are facing changes in customer spending due to the outbreak of the COVID-19, which is hindering the polyolefins market growth. For instance, the automotive sector witnessed decline in sales in 2020, which, in turn, decreased the demand for polyolefins.

Polyolefin is a family of polypropylene and polyethylene thermoplastics. It is manufactured majorly from natural gas and oil by polymerization process of ethylene and propylene, respectively. It is produced from olefins/hydrocarbons/monomers, and exhibits high processability, superior chemical stability, and prolonged durability. It is the most widely used thermoplastic polymer enabling in a range of applications such as packaging, consumer goods, and fibers & textiles. 

Polyolefins-Market

The growth of the global polyolefins market is driven by numerous factors such as the development of the solar power industry and increase in demand from packaging industry from developed countries. However, volatile raw material prices hinder the market growth. On the contrary, the expansion of the packaging sector in the developing countries such as India and China is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market players during the forecast period.

The global polyolefins market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, the polyolefins market is categorized into polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene. Depending on application, it is segregated into film & sheet, injection molding, blow molding, profile extrusion, and others. Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Polyolefins market share is analyzed across all significant regions and countries.

The polyolefins market analysis covers in-depth information of the major industry participants. Some of the major players in the market include Exxonmobil Corporation, SABIC, Total SE, Repsol, Ineos Group AG, Reliance Industries, LyondellBasell Industries N.V., Sinopec Group, Ducor Petrochemical, and Formosa Plastics Corporation. 

Other players in the value chain of the polyolefins market include Borealis AG, Arkema S.A., Braskem S.A, Abu Dhabi Polymers Company Ltd. (Borouge), Sasol Ltd., Tosoh Corporation, and Polyone Corporation.

The key players adopt numerous strategies such as product launch, business expansion, acquisition, partnership, collaboration, joint venture, and agreement to stay competitive in the polyolefins market.

For instance, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), one of the largest petrochemicals manufacturers, launched a new anti-abrasive polyolefins compound pipe grade, a new polyolefin compound pipe grade, named SABIC P1600A. It is used for slurry transportation for mining industries. This new product offers anti-abrasion advantages over conventional materials such as steel and ceramic. The product launch has reinforced product portfolio of the company.

In addition, Repsol, an energy company headquartered in Spain, developed three new grades of metallocene polyethylene at its plant in Tarragona, Spain for the automotive sector that reduces vehicle weight and hence reduce energy consumption. This product launch helped the company to strengthen its foothold in the global polyolefins market.
