Ethylene Market Size, Share, Development, Growth and Demand Forecast to 2023

The global Ethylene market is driven by growth in the use of polyethylene mainly for consumables; ethylene glycol/oxide for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins for PET fiber, bottles and other packaging; and ethylene dichloride for PVC plastic uses in construction and pipe. Polyethylene, the largest ethylene derivative, accounts for majority of the global ethylene consumption. Markets of polyethylene include film, packaging, containers and articles for home and light industrial use.
The increasing applications of ethylene intermediates in various industries are expected to drive the demand for ethylene. Ethylene oxide is mainly used to produce ethylene glycol which is a pre-product for polyester. The basic raw materials for making polymers such as polypropylene, polyethylene, butyl rubber and acrylics among others which are obtained from ethylene, make ethylene a major driver for chemical production.
By product segment type, the global caprolactam market can be divided into applications of nylon 6 fibre and nylon 6 resins. On the basis of applications of nylon 6 resins, the global caprolactam market can be divided into engineering plastics, packaging, electronics and others (lysine synthesis, composites and musical strings).
As ethylene is combustible and carcinogenic, stringent regulations on the use of ethylene are expected to hamper the ethylene market. In addition, volatility in the feedstock cost along with rising competition within industry players also obstructs the growth of global ethylene market.
Some of the major competitors of the global ethylene market are Equistar Chemicals, BASF SE, LP, ExxonMobil Corporation, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, The Dow Chemical Company, Formosa Plastics Corporation, U.S.A., INEOS, Sasol Ltd, Shell Chemical LP and Westlake Chemical Corporation among others.
