Polyolefins Market by Type, and Region - Global Forecasts to 2021
NEW YORK, Oct. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- "The market for polyolefins (PO) to register a CAGR of 7.82%"
The market size of PO is projected to reach USD 297.09 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 7.82% between 2016 and 2021. Polyethylene (PE) type accounted for more than 50% of the overall PO market, in terms of volume, in 2015.

"Injection molding: The fastest-growing application of PE"
Injection molding is projected to the fastest-growing application of PE, between 2016 and 2021. Injection molding processes provide numerous advantages in achieving faster production rate, desired size and shape, and reducing wastage. The growing packaging sector is accelerating the demand for injection molding in the plastic industry, thus boosting the overall PE market.
"Rising demand from Asia-Pacific: A major driver for PO market"
In 2015, Asia-Pacific was the largest market for PO, in terms of value and volume, which is estimated to retain leadership during the forecast period. China and India are the two major markets for PO in the region. The plastic industry in China has the largest share in Asia-Pacific, resulting in a high demand for PO owing to its increased use in film & sheet, injection molding, and fibers & raffia applications. In addition, increasing developments in the solar energy industry is likely to drive the demand for PO in China, India, Japan, and South Korea.
