India Ethylene (Comprehensive Techno-Commercial) Market Analysis and Forecast, 2013-2030

The demand for ethylene in India has witnessed significant growth over the last five years and is forecast to grow at a CAGR of nearly 3% during 2019-2030. Growing demand for polymers for the manufacturing of plastics is the primary factor expected to aid the country’s ethylene market. Growth in the packaging industry would also drive the demand for ethylene derivatives that find extensive applications in transportation sector such as in vehicles, trucks and airplane. Moreover, given the lightness of ethylene derivatives and their high mechanical and physical performance, they have increasingly begun to replace steel in many applications and have thus, brought down the operating costs significantly. Additionally, environmental concerns pertaining to the use of calcium carbide furnaces in PVC manufacturing, in addition to use of ethylene in fruit ripening processes, are anticipated to drive the demand for ethylene in India during 2019-2030.
