High-Density Polyethylene Market Driver

Growing Use of High-Density Polyethylene for Rigid and Flexible Packaging

• The rising demand for high-density polyethylene resin for packaging fuels growth, as these resins are widely employed in both rigid and flexible packaging. As the HDPE recycling ecosystem grows, prohibition on single-use plastics could benefit producers. This is projected to rise more if limitations are implemented. Handbags, packaging, rubbish bags, and industrial linings are among the applications for high-density polyethylene sheets and films. HDPE resin is also used to make hard packaging solutions, such as boxes, packing containers, and tanks. Increased online shopping, internet, and food delivery service usage, particularly in emerging nations has resulted in an exponential growth in demand for packaging raw materials, with high density polyethylene being one of the most prominent.

High-Density Polyethylene Market Restraints

Presence of alternatives

• The high presence of growth-inhibiting alternatives such as high-density polyethylene, as PET is one of the strongest alternatives to high-density polyethylene resin. PET is mostly utilised in water bottles, beverage bottles, food containers, and other similar applications.
  Recycled plastic bottles represent a well-established market. It is also one of the most often recycled plastics. The technological development to increase product purity and lower operational costs is one of the primary drivers driving the expansion of bottle recycling.
