The LLDPE market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2017 to 2022, in terms of value.

The growth of the LLDPE market can be attributed to the availability of plastic products at affordable rates and increase in demand for packaging materials.

The gas phase segment is the largest process type segment of the LLDPE market.

Based on process type, the gas phase segment is projected to lead the LLDPE market from 2017 to 2022. LLDPE resins manufactured by the gas phase process have high tensile strength and are used in various industrial products, such as custom marine parts, water tanks, and chemical storage containers as well as consumer products, such as food packaging materials, heavy-duty sacks, and stretch films.

The films segment is the largest application segment of the LLDPE market.

The films segment is the largest application segment of the LLDPE market. The growth of the LLDPE market in films application is primarily driven by the demand for LLDPE films from the packaging sector.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to lead the LLDPE market during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific is expected to lead the LLDPE market during the forecast period both, in terms of value and volume. The growth of the Asia Pacific LLDPE market can be attributed to the increasing demand for packaging films from various end-use industries. China is the largest importer of polyethylene in the Asia Pacific region. The high demand for LLDPE resins in China and India is contributing to the growth of the LLDPE market in the Asia Pacific region.
