The global Ethylene market has reached approximately 196 million tonnes in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.25% during the forecast period until 2035. Lotte Chemical of South Korea stated that its fund would go towards building a giant petrochemical plant in Indonesia, utilizing the naphtha cracking technology to produce Ethylene. The annual ethylene capacity is estimated to be around 1 million tonnes annually and is expected to gain USD 2.06 billion annually, and it is estimated to be completed by the year 2025.
Ethylene is a colorless gas that has a fruity smell. Ethylene is produced on an industrial level using the steam-cracking process of ethane and naphtha. In this process, pyrolysis is conducted by cracking hydrocarbon feedstock in a furnace. The furnace has a temperature of nearly 750 degrees Celsius. Ethylene is flammable in nature. Ethylene is commonly used as a feedstock by chemical manufacturers to produce various chemicals such as Polyethylene, Ethylene Oxide, Ethylene Dichloride, and Ethylene Benzene.
Moreover, this gas is also used for the ripening of fruits on a bulk level. Currently, the production of Polyethylene is the major application of Ethylene. Additionally, in petrochemical industries, Ethylene is used as a refrigerant and a fuel gas in welding and cutting processes.
The primary driver of the global Ethylene market is the synthesis of Polyethylene. In 2023, approximately 50-60% of global Ethylene was utilized by the Polyethylene Industry. Various industries employ Polyethylene due to its flexibility, durability, light-weight nature, and resistance to moisture. Polyethylene has various industrial applications like food & beverage packaging, grocery bags, toys, cable insulation, squeeze bottles, and housewares. Polyethylene has various types like LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) and HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene). HDPE is employed to synthesize multiple plastics such as Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) which has various applications like food and beverage packaging, water bottles, containers, and bags. Furthermore, the demand for Ethylene for the synthesis of Ethylene Oxide as a precursor to produce chemicals like ethanol amines and (mono) ethanol glycol further fuels the Ethylene demand. The global Ethylene market is expected to reach about 310 million tonnes by 2035.
Based on demand, the Asia Pacific is dominating the Ethylene with a consumption of more than 40% of the global Ethylene market in 2023. As a result of socio-economic development in these nations, the lifestyle of people in this region has changed, creating a significant demand for plastic for general-use goods, automobiles, and housing development. Based on production, Asia Pacific is taking the lead among all the other regions.
Based on the end-user industry, the global Ethylene market is segmented into different industrial sectors that include Polyethylene, Ethylene Oxide, Ethylene Dichloride, Ethylene Benzene, and Others. The Polyethylene Industry is dominating the Ethylene market. The Ethylene Oxide industry is also a prominent consumer of the Ethylene market. Ethylene Oxide is employed for the synthesis of cleansers, solvents, resins, coolants, fabrics, and medicines, all involving extensive use of ethylene oxide. Furthermore, Ethylene Benzene is a booming industry that further contributes to the Ethylene market in the forecast period.
Major players in the production of Global Ethylene are Sinopec, LyondellBasell, DowDupont, Exxon Mobil Corporation, INEOS, Chevron Phillips, Braskem, Formosa Plastics Group (Formosa Petrochemical Corp.), Zhejiang Petrochemical, PTT Global Chemical, PetroChina, Arabian Petrochemical Company, Yeochun NCC Co. Ltd., Royal Dutch Shell, and Kavian Petrochemical.
