Polyethylene (PE): The largest type segment of the top 10 plastics market

Polyethylene is the largest type segment of the global top 10 plastics market, followed by the polypropylene segment. The high demand for polyethylene is mainly due to its effective and substantial usage in consumer products, especially in packaging materials. Properties, such as flexibility, thermal & electrical insulation, and chemical & thermal resistivity, make its usage widespread in applications such as packaging, construction, electrical, electronics, automotive, and so on. Polyethylene is also lightweight, easy to manufacture, and easily available, which further boost its demand in the aforementioned applications.

Packaging: The largest application segment of the top 10 plastics market

Packaging is currently the largest application segment of the top 10 plastics market. Plastics provide a much cleaner, tougher, and aesthetically appealing form of packaging, especially for the food & beverage industry and the electronics industry. This is anticipated to fuel its demand in the packaging application segment. The extensive use of plastics in bags, pouches, and sachets as well as in conventional packaging methods is also expected to drive the growth of the packaging segment.
