Global Olefin Market: Insights, Size, Trends, Growth Factors, Challenges, Scope, Global Opportunity & Key-players Analysis By Product Type, By Applications (Polyethylene, Detergent Alcohol, Synthetic Lubricants, Plasticizers, Cosmetics, Adhesives, Others) & By Region for Forecast Period 2017-2030

Global Olefin Market Outlook

Olefins are derivative froms crude oil and considered to be the important component of chemical industry. Ethylene and propylene are the key forms of olefins, with global production of 15 million tons and 8 million tons annually. Olefins are majorly used in our day to day life such as plastics, fibers and other polymers. Linear alpha olefin is also a form of olefin, which are majorly used to manufacture synthetic acids, detergent intermediates, polymers and lubricants. Linear alpha olefin is a versatile component used in manufacturing of important chemical products like low density polyethylene (LDPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE). Rising demand for consumer goods and its packaging materials by different industries increased the demands of LLDPE. Growing packaging industry has significantly raised the demand for olefins, which is expected to drive the growth of Linear-alpha olefin market. Also, availability of raw materials in abundance for olefin production is also anticipated to foster the olefin market growth. The growth of consumer goods industry and automobile industry is expected to drive the growth of global olefin market. The global packaging was valued more than USD 500 billion in 2017 in which consumer packaging category consist more than 34% revenue share.

Trends, Drivers & Challenges to Market Growth

Rising global population significantly contributes to the growth of Food and beverage industry which highly demands for the packaging materials. Thus, augmented demand for packaging materials fuelled the growth of olefin derivatives used in manufacturing of high quality packaging materials. Packaging material sales in emerging markets are expected to continue to showcase strong growth as increased consumption and demand f0r consumer goods considerably drives the need for more refined packaging owing to growing middle class. The Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) markets shares approximately 30% of global demand for packaging material. Growing automobile industry also demands for the high quality olefin used to manufacture interiors of automobiles, as it resembles the properties of stain repellent and high tensile. In 2016, approximately 90 million vehicles were produced globally and this figure is expected to increase in coming years with nearly 4% annual growth rate.

However, stringent environmental regulations regarding the production and manufacturing of crude oil bi-products remains a key challenge for the industry. Volatility in the prices of raw materials for the production of olefins and related high investments may affect the growth adversely. Substitutes such as nano-particle based lubricants and astungsten disulphide may hinder the growth of global olefins market.     

Market Share by Olefin Product Type & Geography

Global olefin market demand was approximately 3,987.5 kilo tons in 2015 and is expected to reach 6,575.0 kilo tons by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 4.1% during 2017-2030. Geographically, North America dominated the global olefin market in 2017 and accounted for more than 36% of total production in 2017. Europe olefin market is also anticipated to register sluggish growth rate on account of polyethylene market owing to stringent environmental regulations. Asia Pacific region is projected to witness highest growth rate of more than 5.2% through 2017-2030. Rising construction activities owing to rapid urbanization coupled with growth of automotive industry particularly in Indonesia, China and India expected to drive the regional olefin market growth.
