Scope

Polyethylene (HDPE) Injection Molding Market Analysis and Demand Forecast to 2015 provides a detailed analysis of growth for the high density polyethylene injection molding market by major end-use in North America. Some of the key end-uses included in this study are housewares, tubs & containers, caps & closures, crates & totes, and pails. An analysis is provided of the demand for HDPE resin injection molding demand from 2003 - 2010 as well as a discussion of the factors and trends impacting future demand growth by end-use. Further, a forecast of polyethylene resin demand for the injection molding market to 2015 is provided by major end-use. Finally, a summary of the major high density polyethylene resin producers along with their capacity estimates is detailed. A two page profile of each of the eight largest producers of HDPE in North America is also provided.

For purposes of this report, the North American (N.A.) market is defined as the USA and Canada only. Because the data compiled in this report originated from resin producers, the injection molding market defined in this report does not include PP resin resold into the injection molding market through distributors, resellers or compounders.

Polyolefin resins include the following polymers: Polypropylene (PP), Linear Low Polyethylene (LLDPE), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). Polyolefin resins or polymers make up over 50% of all plastic resins sold in North America
