Revenue in the global linear low density polyethylene industry experienced significant growth during the last five years, and the industry revenue is forecast to reach an estimated $41.1 billion in 2017 with good growth over the next five years (2012-2017).

The industry is consolidated, with Asia Pacific (APAC) and North America dominating this market. A combination of factors such as operating cost, feedstock price (crude oil, naphtha, ethane), feedstock availability, scale and technology, energy costs, oil price, utilization rate, GDP growth, distribution costs, operating rates, environmental issues, and government regulations influences industry dynamics significantly.

Lucintel's research indicates that high growth in associated manufacturing industries such as packaging, construction, automotive will boost the industry. Replacement of the low density polyethylene market by linear low density polyethylene due to its low cost and high mechanical quality will be the industry's main driver. Fluctuation of crude oil and ethylene prices is likely to affect the profit margins of linear low density polyethylene players. Introduction of metallocene linear low density polyethylene is a ground-breaking emerging trend that could lead the industry to new growth.

This report provides an overview of the global linear low density polyethylene industry and tracks industry performance in four geographic regions. Thus, four segments of the global linear low density polyethylene industry are tracked. The report studies manufacturers serving this segment, providing a five-year annual trend analysis that highlights market size, profit, and cost structure for North America, Europe, APAC, and Rest of the World. The report also provides a forecast, addressing market opportunities for next five years for each of these regions.
