Polyolefin Resin Market Size: Global Industry Demand, Growth, share & Forecast 2027

Text Size:

Product Overview

Polyolefin resins are resins extracted from hydrocarbon sources which may contain one or multiple olefin groups. Raw materials used in manufacture of polyolefin resin are cyclic olefins, ethylene, butadiene propylene and isobutylene. Paints which are manufactured by using polyolefin resin are known as polyolefin resin paints. Polyolefin resins help in refining several characteristics of paints such as chemical resistance, wear & tear resistance and adhesive properties. Polyolefin resins are large molecular weight hydrocarbons which include polyethylene, polypropylenes that comprise resins and copolymers. Polyolefin resins have the ability for resisting exposures to all chemicals at room temperature. Automotive, Electronics, Packaging, Plastic and Construction materials construction are some of the significant end-user industries of polyolefin resins.

Market Size and Forecast

The global polyolefin resin market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR around 8.1% during year 2017-2027. The global polyolefin resin market is anticipated to value at USD 387.09 Bn by 2027.

The global polyolefin resin market can be segmented on the basis of product type, application type and end-user. Moreover on the basis of end-user type it is sub segmented into automotive, electronics, packaging and plastic and construction materials. Automotive is expected to be the largest growing end use segment for polyolefin resin market. Polyolefin resin provides structural benefits in automotive interiors. Polyolefin resin is widely used in automotive interiors, which provides resistant from various external impact. Polyolefins are widely used for industrial application and have replaced PVC owing to the rubber like properties. The cost effective physical properties of polyolefin resin is the major factor supporting the demand for the global polyolefin market from the automotive industry.

By region, global polyolefin resin market is segmented into North America, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Europe, Middle East and Africa. Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the global polyolefin resins market on the account of presence of the various polyolefin resin manufacturers in the region. Additionally, the development of automobile sector in countries such as China and India leads to increasing demand for polyolefin resin in Asia Pacific region. Moreover, high availability of low cost raw materials is compelling many key manufacturers in Europe and North America to enter Asia-Pacific by setting up new manufacturing plants in the region.

North America is also one of the leading region for polyolefin resins owing to the increasing production of shale gas which in turn results in high availability of raw materials which is anticipated to increase the production of the polyolefin resins in the region in the forthcoming years.CLICK TO DOWNLOAD FREE SAMPLE
