Market Report I 2024-03-02 I 143 Pages I IMARC Group
The global low density polyethylene market size reached US$ 45.5 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 65.5 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4% during 2024-2032. The growing demand for plastic containers in the food industry; rising construction of hospitals, clinics and nursing homes; and the increasing demand for recyclable plastics represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a chemically inert polymer that is malleable, elastic, and has a translucent appearance. It is manufactured by free-radical polymerization of ethylene, wherein ethylene is cooled, compressed, and placed into a reaction vessel to initiate polymerization. It is durable, moisture-proof, and can resist the effects of hazardous chemicals. It is also capable of withstanding harsh climatic conditions and undergoing high thermal expansion. It is commercially available in various levels of flexibility depending on the production process. It is extensively utilized in manufacturing various packing materials, such as wrapping foils, foam, trays, and soft plastic bags required in the food industry. It is also applied as a thin protective layer on paper and textiles. LDPE is one of the major components employed in manufacturing blow moldings required for making hollow plastic objects. It is also adopted in the production of water tanks as it is a non-conductor of heat and keeps stored water cool for long time periods. Furthermore, as LDPE is cost-effective and requires minimum maintenance, its demand is increasing around the world.
Low Density Polyethylene Market Trends:
At present, the increasing demand for LDPE to manufacture food and utility bags represents one of the primary factors influencing the market positively. Besides this, the rising construction of hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes across the globe to provide quality healthcare to patients is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, the growing demand for plastic containers made from LDPE in the food industry to pack baked goods, frozen products, and snacks is offering a favorable market outlook. Apart from this, the rising number of quick service restaurants (QSRs), cafes, and fast-food chains selling flavorful dishes, along with home delivery services, is contributing to the growth of the market. Additionally, there is an increase in the employment of LDPE films or plastic sheets used in the agriculture industry to maintain humidity and reduce the evaporation of water from the soil. This, coupled with the rising adoption of LDPE in manufacturing wires, insulation cables, and various plastic parts of computer components, is supporting the market growth. Moreover, the increasing demand for recyclable plastics to prevent soil and water pollution and reduce the negative impacts of plastics on human health is bolstering the market growth.
