Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Polyolefins market size was valued at US$ 259620 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 340920 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 4.0% during review period.

A polyolefin is a type of polymer with the general formula (CH2CHR)n where R is an alkyl group. They are usually derived from a small set of simple olefins (alkenes). Dominant in a commercial sense are polyethylene and polypropylene. More specialized polyolefins include polyisobutylene and polymethylpentene. They are all colorless or white oils or solids. Many copolymers are known, such as polybutene, which derives from a mixture of different butene isomers. The name of each polyolefin indicates the olefin from which it is prepared; for example, polyethylene is derived from ethylene, and polymethylpentene is derived from 4-methyl-1-pentene. Polyolefins are not olefins themselves because the double bond of each olefin monomer is opened in order to form the polymer. Monomers having more than one double bond such as butadiene and isoprene yield polymers that contain double bonds (polybutadiene and polyisoprene) and are usually not considered polyolefins. Polyolefins are the foundations of many chemical industries. In this report, we only count Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP).

Global key players of Polyolefins include ExxonMobil Chemical, LyondellBasell, CNPC, etc. The top three players hold a share over 18%. Asia-Pacific is the largest market, with a share about 56%, followed by Europe and North America, with share 17% and 14%, separately. In terms of product type, Polyethylene (PE) is the largest segment, occupied for a share of 56%. In terms of application, Packaging occupies the largest market, with a share about 46 percent.
