Low-density Polyethylene Market: Global Information by Manufacturing Process (Autoclave Method, Tubular Method) Application (Film & Sheets, Extrusion Coating, Injection Molding, Others) Region (North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe) — Global Forecast till 2027
ID: MRFR/CnM/5905-HCR | February 2021 | Region: Global | 140 pages
Market Synopsis
Low density polyethylene is a thermoplastic manufactured from monomer ethylene. Polymerization of ethylene takes place by either two process tubular reactors or autoclave at high pressure. It has higher resilience and low tensile strength as well as provides excellent resistance to concentrated acids, dilutes, esters, bases and alcohols. These properties make it ideal application for manufacturing containers, wash bottles, molded laboratory equipment and dispensing bottles. Owing to good resistance to chemical and electrical properties, it is majorly used for manufacturing plastic bags.
The global low-density polyethylene market was valued at USD 29.78 billion in 2017.High coefficient to thermal expansion and poor heat resistance are few drawbacks of low-density polyethylene which can be overcome by glass reinforcement. It comprises of high impact strength at lower temperature and is available at low cost compared to other polyethylene which is expected to positively influence the market growth. Growing demand for low density polyethylene in home appliances, packaging, pipe and cables are likely to propel the growth of global low-density polyethylene market during the forecast period. According to Canada Radio-television and Telecommunication Commission, cable- carriers wireline revenue increased from USD 7.1 billion in 2016 to USD 7.4 billion in 2017, thus surge in demand for cables are projected to drive demand for low-density polyethylene during the assessment period.
