Metallocene polyethylene (PE), also known as linear metallocene, is a high performance polymer that are used in a wide range of applications in the agriculture, building & construction, packaging industries. Metallocene polyethylene improves the general properties of polyethylenes, and provides added value to the product manufactured using metallocene polyethylene.
Various advantages offered by metallocene PE are high resistance to perforation, tearing, and impact, excellent sealing and optical properties, and easy processing with high resistance. These advantages offered by metallocene polyethylene makes it a potential product for usage in packaging and other applications. This is expected to boost demand for metallocene polyethylenes over the forecast period.
Market Dynamics
Based on product type, the global metallocene polyethylenes market is segmented into mHDPE, mMDPE, mLLDPE, and others. Among product type, mLLDPE segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 65.0% in the global metallocene polyethylene market in 2018. The mLLDPE offers better impact and puncture strength, and outstanding optical properties. The segment growth is driven by increasing demand for mLLDPE films in the packaging industry.
Among region, in 2022, Asia Pacific held the dominant position in the global metallocene polyethylene market and contributed to revenue share of 39.4% in the global market. Factors such as growing end use industries including packaging industry coupled with increasing demand for metallocene polyethylene from these industries are expected to drive the market growth in the region over the forecast period. According to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India packaging industry was worth US$ 13.3 billion in 2009 and reached US$ 27.8 billion in 2014, and is expected to continue its growth in the near future.
