Increasing Demand for Packaging Solutions to Augment the High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Industry Growth

High-density polyethylene is being extensively used in the production of films which are used to safeguard goods in storages. Given the ever-rising demand for packaging films, the thin-film applications of HDPE are expected to increase exponentially in the future. The food packaging applications will see an increased demand due to the increasing focus on expanding the shelf life of edible products. HDPE is being widely used in both types of packaging, flexible as well as rigid. Additionally, increasing awareness against single-use plastics is expected to further build up an already omnipresent ecosystem for HDPE, and, in turn, benefit the manufacturers. HDPE sheets and films are being increasingly used in industrial liners, carrier bags, and others. A big chunk of rigid packaging solutions is being produced by using HDPE as a raw material. Moreover, the meteoric rise of the e-commerce industry as one of the most suitable shopping options has caused a sharp surge in the demand for packaging raw materials, of which HDPE is one of the most widely used.

The Asia Pacific to Provide Enhanced Growth Opportunities to the High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Industry

Region-wise, the Asia Pacific is expected to witness a robust growth over the forecast period both in terms of consumption and production. The growth can be attributed to the region’s already high and ever-growing population and the rapidly developing packaging and construction industries. Furthermore, a major chunk of world’s HDPE producing units are located in the Asia Pacific region.

 

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE): Market Segmentation

High-density polyethylene, often abbreviated as HDPE, refers to a thermoplastic polymer obtained from the monomer ethylene. HDPE is renowned for its high strength-to-density ratio. It has high specific strength, is hard, quite opaque, and can resist high temperatures. It can withstand several different solvents. All these properties enable HDPE resin to have application as a raw material in several industries, some of which are plastic bottles, pipes, ropes, disposable suits, chairs, toys, and others.

Increasing Demand for Efficient Piping Solutions in the Construction Industry to Bolster the Growth of the High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Industry

The global market for high-density polyethylene is being driven by the increasing construction activities and rapid urbanisation across the globe. According to Global Construction Perspectives and Oxford Economics, the global volume of construction is expected to increase by 85% by 2030. This growth would be particularly driven by countries like India, USA, and China, which are estimated to contribute around 57% to the total market value. The USA construction industry is expected to expand at an even higher rate in comparison to China. The booming construction industry is expected to exponentially increase the demand for HDPE pipes. The pipes made of conventional materials like steel, and concrete, among others are consistently being replaced by plastic pipes due to their installation advantages, lower cost, and better performance. This is expected to significantly aid the industry growth.
