Australia Polyethylene Market, By Type, By Application (Blow Moulding, Pipe Extrusion, Film Extrusion, Rotational Moulding, Injection Moulding) By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2024

The Australian Polyethylene Market was valued at $ 2.1 billion in 2018 and is forecast to reach $ 3.8 billion by 2024. Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer obtained from ethylene molecules and is generally used for packaging purposes. It has excellent mechanical, chemical and electrical properties, besides being cheap and offering high electrical and chemical resistant. Australia is the world's driest inhabited country. In order to meet the water scarcity problems rainwater harvesting is quite prevalent in the country. This rainwater is stored in large tanks & containers which are made from polyethylene. This serves as a major driving factor for the polyethylene market in Australia. Additionally, increase in manufacturing of pipes & fittings to prevent water loss in agricultural area would further steer market growth in the coming years.

The Australian Polyethylene Market is segmented based on type, application, region and company. Based on type, the market can be segmented into High Density Polyethylene (HDPE); Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE); Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). The HDPE segment is expected to dominate the market during forecast period owing to their widespread use in packaging, consumer goods, fibers & textiles packaging, pipes & fittings, among others. Based on region, the market can be fragmented into New South Wales; Victoria; Tasmania; Western Australia; Queensland; & Southern Australia. Victoria dominates the market followed by New South Wales. This can be accredited to the presence of a large number of plastic manufacturers in these regions.

Major players operating in the Australian Polyethylene Market are Qenos Pty Ltd, Chevron Phillips Chemical Pty Ltd., Thai Polyethylene Co., Ltd, PTT Global Chemical Plc, ExxonMobil Australia Pty Ltd, LyondellBasell Australia Pty Ltd, Eni Australia Ltd, and PRPC Polymers (Petronas Chemical Group).
