The India Ethylene market stood at approximately 7200 thousand tonnes in FY2023 and is anticipated to grow at a healthy CAGR of 9.29% by FY2030. Increasing demand for Ethylene for manufacturing Polyethylene, which is a popular material to make plastic films for packaging applications is expected to spur the demand for ethylene across India.

Ethylene is a versatile chemical that is used to manufacture useful chemicals like Polyethylene, Ethylene Oxide, Ethylene Dichloride, Ethylene Benzene, and Others. Ethylene Oxide (EO) is the second largest consumer of India’s Ethylene market. EO finds key applications in manufacturing Ethylene Glycol, the most common of which is monoethylene glycol (MEG) which further making PET resins. EO derivatives like ethoxylates (used in shampoo, kitchen cleaners, etc), glycol ethers (solvents, fuels, etc), and ethanolamines (surfactants, personal care products, etc) are contributing to the ethylene demand across India. Moreover, rising demand for Ethylene derivatives such as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polystyrene and Polyester Resins will most likely give a strong boost to the growth of the Ethylene Industry in India. Ethylene Dichloride is employed as a feedstock to produce Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), which is a versatile polymer with various applications such as Pipes & Fittings, Films & Sheets, Wires & Cables, Footwear, ETC.

Increasing demand for polyethylene such as HDPE, LDPE, and LLDPE from the packaging sector driven by increasing organized retail and the boom in the e-commerce industry is anticipated to be the primary reason for the growth of the India Ethylene market in the forecast period. Several varieties of polyethylene exist, including LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) and HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene). Shrink and stretch film for food packaging, as well as non-packaging usage, are the principal film applications for low density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). Injection and blow molding processes are the main ways that high density polyethylene (HDPE) is employed in products like pallets, barrels, drums, household items, etc. Moreover, increasing use of plastic packaging in food, beverages, personal care, healthcare and consumer electronics industries will most likely further augment the growth of Ethylene market in the forecast period. Rapid urbanization and infrastructure developments across the nation are portraying a major chunk of the demand for building and construction plastics, which is a prominent factor of the India Ethylene market and is anticipated to say so in the future.

Based on region, the India Ethylene Market is segregated into North, South, East, and West. In the historic period of FY2015-FY2023, West India has been dominating the market. West India has been the frontrunner in the consumption of Ethylene for a variety of uses due to the presence of significant consumer goods producers as well as major plasticizer factories situated in states like Gujarat. The plastic commodities manufactured include plastic furniture, boxes, containers, etc.

Based on end-use, the India Ethylene market is segregated into different industrial sectors such as Polyethylene, Ethylene Oxide, Ethylene Dichloride, Ethylene Benzene, and Others. Among these, Polyethylene is dominating the segment of Ethylene. This segment held roughly 45% of the Ethylene market in FY2023. Owing to changing customer preferences towards ready-to-eat food items, this sector is anticipated to retain its dominance for packaging applications in the forecast period.

Some of the domestic players operating in India Ethylene market are Reliance Industries Limited, Indian Oil Corporation Limited, GAIL (India) Limited, ONGC Petro Additions Limited and Haldia Petrochemicals Limited. LyondellBasell, Dow Chemical Co., ExxonMobil, Chevron Phillips, Shell, and INEOS are some of the international players operating in India Ethylene market.
