The global polyethylene market size is anticipated to reach USD 213.77 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth is driven by the increasing consumption of plastics in the automotive, medical, construction, and electrical & electronics industries. Moreover, the increasing demand for lightweight materials in the automotive industry contributes to industry growth. Polyethylene (PE) is commonly used for manufacturing lightweight plastics, films, and foams used in vehicles.
The emphasis of the automotive industry on enhancing the fuel efficiency of vehicles by reducing their weight leads to the adoption of PE in this industry. As recycling technologies advance, the PE market adapts to integrate more recycled content into its products, contributing to a more circular and resource-efficient approach. Government policies and regulations supporting sustainable practices further bolster the demand for recycled PE. The circular economy encourages the collection, separation, and reprocessing of used PE products, diverting them from landfills.
