Research Summary

Polyethylene is a widely used thermoplastic polymer composed of repeating ethylene monomer units. It is known for its versatility, excellent chemical resistance, and low cost of production. Polyethylene exists in various forms, with the two most common being high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE). HDPE is rigid, strong, and has a high melting point, making it suitable for applications such as containers, pipes, and packaging materials. LDPE, on the other hand, is more flexible and has a lower melting point, making it ideal for film applications, plastic bags, and squeezable bottles. Polyethylene is used extensively in packaging, construction, agriculture, and various consumer goods due to its lightweight nature, durability, and ease of processing through methods like extrusion and injection molding. Its adaptability and wide-ranging properties contribute to its prominence in the plastics industry.

The major global  manufacturers of Polyethylene include Turtle Wax, DuPont, Exxon Mobil Corporation, LyondellBasell, SABIC, Sinopec Corporation, BP, Ineos, Borealis, Total, Shell, National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), TASCO Group, Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi (ENI), CNPC, etc. The global players competition landscape in this report is divided into three tiers.
