Detailed analysis and projection of the polyethylene capacity by Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) is also included in this report. This research includes analysis of active and planned capacity by key feedstock and production process for LDPE, HDPE and LLDPE in all the regions of the world. Competitive scenario in all the regions and in the major countries by LDPE, HDPE and LLDPE is analyzed in this comprehensive report. The report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research and in house analysis by Global Industry s Direct’s team of market experts.
Asia Pacific region accounted for over 43% of the global polyethylene capacity in 2008, and is expected to account for nearly 50% of the planned capacity expansions until 2015.
Asia Pacific region will have the maximum capacity expansions of more than 12 million tons during the period from 2008 to 2015 . In this region, China and India will account for more than 8 million tons of future capacity expansions . Most of the Chinese capacities have come in the last decade and are dominated by state owned Chinese energy firms . Unipol is the dominant technology used to manufacture polyethylene, followed by Innovene technology. Naptha is the dominant key feedstock for manufacturing polyethylene and gas phase process is the dominant process used to manufacture polyethylene, globally.
Global polyethylene capacity in 2008 totaled 93.87 million tons and Asia Pacific, North America and Europe are the major regions that accounted for over 76% of global polyethylene plant capacity in 2008. This capacity is expected to increase from 93.87 million tons in 2008 to 127.89 million tons in 2015, at a CAGR of 4.5%. HDPE grade accounted for 46% of the global polyethylene capacity in 2008 and will see more than 44% of the polyethylene capacity expansions until 2015. Major industry players operating in the global polyethylene segment include The Dow Chemical Firms , Exxon Mobil Corporation, LyondellBasell Market , Saudi Basic Market Corporation and China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation. These industry players accounted for 33.2% of the global polyethylene plant capacity in 2008.
