      DUBLIN, Feb. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Global Ethylene Market (By Production Capacity & Demand): Insights & Forecast with Potential Impact of COVID-19 (2022-2026)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

      The global ethylene demand is forecasted to reach 202.9 million tonnes in 2026, rising at a CAGR of 3.28%, for the duration spanning 2022-2026.

      Factors such as an upsurge in sales of consumer goods, a growing gardening industry, escalating rate of packaging, rising consumption of alcoholic beverages and surging urbanization would drive the growth of the market.

      However, the market growth would be challenged by fluctuations in ethylene prices, the hazardous effects of ethylene oxide and stringent government regulations. A few notable trends may include the rising production capacity of ethylene dichloride, the growing petrochemical industry and increasing demand for bio-based polyethylene.

      The global ethylene market is highly focused and concentrated on the production of polyethylene. The majority of the ethylene produced is used for the development of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) due to the growing demand from various end-use industries such as construction, automotive, packaging and others.

      Further, ethylene oxide is another major component that is derived from ethylene, which is likely to hold a significant share in the global market in the coming years.

      Scope of the report

      • The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the global ethylene market with the potential impact of COVID-19.
      • The major regional markets (The U.S., China, Middle East & North Africa, Europe and ROW) have been analyzed.
