NEW YORK, Nov. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

http://www.reportlinker.com/p01902022/Alpha-Olefin-Market-By-Type-1-Butene-1-Hexene-1-Octene-1-Decene-1-Dodecene-1-Tetradecene-C16-18-C20--Applications-Lldpe-Hdpe-Detergent-Alcohols-Synthetic-Lubricants-Polybutene-1-Aos--Others---Global-Trends--Forecast-To-2018.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Petrochemical

The alpha olefin market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.2% over the next five years and reach 4.6 million metric tons by 2018. North America will continue to dominate the market demand due to bulk of investments and expansion plans of alpha olefins such as 1-hexene and 1-octene in this region.

The alpha olefin market is extremely competitive. In terms of the global market, the industry comprises of many several market participants with a few market leaders globally. In this global market, there are established players such as Shell Chemical Limited (U.K.), Chevron Philips Chemical Co. (U.S.), Ineos Oligomers (U.S.), Sasol (South Africa), and Nizhnekamskneftekhim (Russia). These top players have a significant controlling share in the market.

Scope of the report:

This research report categorizes the global market for alpha olefins on the basis of applications, product type, and geography; forecasting volumes and revenues and analyzing trends in each of the submarkets.

On the basis of applications:
The alpha olefin market is segmented on the basis of applications as LLDPE, HDPE, detergent alcohols, and synthetic lubricants. Each application is further described in detail in the report with volumes and revenues forecasted for each application.

On the basis of product type:
C4 (1-butene), C6 (1-hexene), C8 (1-octene), C10 (1-decene), C12 (1-dodecene), C14 (1-tetradecene), C16-C18, and C20+

On the basis of geography:
North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and ROWLinear alpha olefins are vital industrial alpha-olefins, which include 1-butene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, 1-decene, 1-dodecene, 1-tetradecene, 1-hexadecene, 1-octadecene and higher blends of C20-C24, C24-C30, and C20-C30 ranges. In 2013, the alpha olefin C4, C6, and C8 captured a maximum share of the total volume. The demand for 1-butene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene will continue to dominate due to high growth in the end-user applications industry such as polyethylene.

The global alpha olefin demand is anticipated to grow by 4.2% annually to reach 4.6 million metric tons by 2018. Major drivers for the market are growth in polyethylene industry, and increasing capacity expansions. Bio-based alpha olefins are currently under the research and development phase, but are likely to gain momentum in the next decade which may be an upcoming opportunity for the manufacturers.

There are various applications of alpha olefins that ranges from polyethylene (LLDPE, HPDE), synthetic lubricants, detergent intermediates, oilfield chemicals, paper industry, and additives. Alpha olefin manufacturers have to cater to a wide variety of customers' demands. LLDPE and HDPE captured around half of the market share in the total applications share. 1-butene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene are widely used in polyethylene co-monomers. 1-decene is used to make poly alpha olefins while 1-dodecene is used in detergent alcohols and poly alpha olefins.

Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP (U.S.), Sasol (South Africa), and Shell Chemicals Limited (U.K.) are the major players which hold significant controlling share in this global market.

North America will continue to capture large share of the market in the next five years growing at a CAGR of 4% from 2013-2018. The alpha olefins market for emerging economies of the world is expected to grow with higher growth rates, while the market in matured economies will grow at modest rates.
