Linear Low - Density Polyethylene Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028 Segmented By Production Process (Solution Process, Slurry Process, Gas Phase Process), Application (Films, Roto Molding, Injection Molding, and Others), By End-User Industry (Agriculture, Electrical & Electronics, Packaging, Construction, and Others), By Region, and Competition

Total revenue in the Food & Drink segment is projected to reach USD 0.67 billion in 2022.

Linear low-density polyethylene is considered an effective alternative among other grades of Polyethylene in the packaging industry today owing to its higher bearing strength, tensile strength, puncture endurance capacity, and material elongation. Growth rates for 2020 were significantly affected by COVID-19 broadly for the Packaging and Construction Industry. Following a demand slump in 2020, Packaging Industry, as well as Construction Industry, has continued steady growth in 2021, triggering the development of the Global Linear Low-Density Polyethylene Market during the estimated and forecast period.

Growing Demand for Films in Food & Beverage Industry

The food industry utilizes Linear Low-Density Polyethylene primarily for packaging purposes. It can hold goods without releasing dangerous chemicals. It is commonly used to preserve food which ensures quality & safety for an individual. Increased Demand for Linear Low-Density Polyethylene is witnessed across various fields of Application due to its distinct properties like High Tensile Strength that assists manufacturers in producing high-quality films used in the Food & Beverage Industry. According to the European Commission, “The E.U. boasts an important trade surplus in food and E.U. food specialties are well appreciated overseas. In the last ten years, E.U. food and drink exports have doubled, reaching over €90 Billion and contributing to a positive balance of almost €30 Billion”. Additionally, the changing living standards are resulting in increased food and beverage consumption, essentially driving the Linear Low-Density Polyethylene Market.
