Which Market drivers have played a significant role in driving the low-density polyethylene market?
The rising demand for LDPE in the packaging industry is expected to boost the growth of the LDPE market. LDPE is being increasingly used for food packaging and non-food packaging. Use of LDPE in packaging decreases the cost of packaging. LDPE has the properties of having good tensile strength and being flexible, which makes the process of packaging easy. LDPE is commonly used in food packaging to manufacture coffee can lids, bread bags, and fruit and vegetable bags used in grocery stores. It is also used in non-food packaging such as shipping sacks, bubble packing, envelopes, overwrap, and rack and counter bags. For instance, in March 2024, according to the ChemPMC, a US-based boutique consulting firm, U.S. and Canadian LDPE consumption reached 2.5 million metric tons in 2023, with North American polyethylene operating rates increasing from 81% in 2022 to 85% the following year. The increase in demand for packaging accelerates the demand for LDPE used as a packaging material.
