Polyethylene (PE) refers to a versatile, lightweight, and durable thermoplastic polymer widely used across various industries due to its chemical resistance, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. It is derived from the polymerization of ethylene. It exists in multiple forms, including high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), each with specific applications. Polyethylene is extensively used in packaging, construction, automotive, medical, and consumer goods due to its moisture resistance and mechanical strength. Its ability to be recycled and modified with additives enhances its functionality and sustainability. As industries continue to demand lightweight, durable, and cost-efficient materials, polyethylene remains one of the most essential and widely produced plastics worldwide.

The market is primarily driven by the growing demand for flexible and rigid packaging solutions, particularly in food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and personal care industries. The expanding construction and infrastructure sector, where polyethylene is used in pipes, insulation, and protective coatings, is further fueling demand. Additionally, technological advancements in polymer processing are improving the mechanical properties and recyclability of polyethylene. The increasing use of polyethylene in the automotive industry, where lightweight materials enhance fuel efficiency, is contributing to market expansion. The rise in medical and healthcare applications, such as surgical gloves, tubing, and medical containers, is further fueling adoption.
