The report is valuable in highlighting business performance, operating segments, product portfolio, and strategic moves of market players to showcase the competitive scenario.
Covid-19 Scenario
The pandemic caused disruptions in the global supply chains, affecting the production & distribution of linear polymers. Restrictions on manufacturing activities, transportation, and trade disrupted the supply of raw materials and hindered the movement of finished polymer products. This led to supply shortages and logistical challenges for manufacturers & distributors.
However, as the global economy gradually recovered from the pandemic, the demand for linear polymers rebounded across various sectors. Increase in focus on hygiene and healthcare infrastructure, as well as the resumption of construction & manufacturing activities, drive the demand for linear polymers.
In addition, the packaging sector is expected to continue experiencing sustained demand, driven by change in consumer preferences and growth of e-commerce.
The polyethylene segment to maintain its lead position during the forecast period
Based on type, the polyethylene segment accounted for the largest share in 2022, contributing to around half of the global linear polymers market revenue. The packaging industry is a major consumer of polyethylene. The demand for flexible packaging, such as films, bags, and pouches, has been increasing due to change in consumer lifestyles, rise in e-commerce activities, and need for convenience. Polyethylene’s excellent barrier properties, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness make it an ideal material for packaging applications. Moreover, the construction industry relies on polyethylene for various applications, especially in pipes and fittings. Moreover, the demand for polyethylene pipes is driven by factors such as infrastructure development, water supply projects, and sewage systems. Polyethylene’s durability, corrosion resistance, and flexibility make it suitable for these applications. These factors altogether contribute to significant growth of the segment. However, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) segment held the major CAGR of 4.8% in 2032.

The addition polymerization segment to maintain its lead position during the forecast period
Based on the manufacturing process, the addition polymerization segment accounted for the largest share in 2022, contributing to nearly two-fifths of the global linear polymers market revenue. Addition polymerization allows for the continuous growth of polymer chains. Monomers with unsaturated bonds can react with each other, forming strong covalent bonds and extending the polymer chain in a linear fashion. The reaction continues until all the monomers are consumed or until the reaction is terminated. Moreover, addition polymerization does not produce any byproducts, as there is no elimination of small molecules during the polymerization process. This ensures a high yield of the desired polymer without the need for additional purification steps. These factors altogether surge the adoption of addition polymerization process for producing linear polymers. However, the condensation polymerization segment held the major CAGR of 4.7% in 2032.
The packaging segment to maintain its lead position during the forecast period
Based on end user industry, the packaging segment accounted for the largest share in 2022, contributing to nearly two-fifths of the global linear polymers market revenue. This segment also held the major CAGR of 5.0% in 2032. Linear polymers offer a wide range of properties and can be tailored to meet specific packaging requirements. They can be designed to have varying levels of flexibility, strength, barrier properties, and transparency. This versatility allows packaging manufacturers to create packaging solutions that cater to diverse products and consumer preferences. This factor may act as one of the key drivers responsible for the growth of the linear polymers market in the packaging sector. Furthermore, linear polymers, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, are lightweight materials. They provide excellent strength-to-weight ratios, allowing for the creation of lightweight packaging solutions. Lightweight packaging offers benefits such as reduced transportation costs, and ease of handling of packed products for consumers. In addition, many linear polymers exhibit excellent barrier properties, effectively preventing the ingress of moisture, oxygen, and other gases. This is crucial for preserving the quality and extending the shelf life of packaged products, especially perishable goods such as food & beverages. Linear polymers with enhanced barrier properties help minimize spoilage, reduce food waste, and maintain product freshness. These factors altogether surge the demand for linear polymers market; thus, fueling the market growth.
Asia-Pacific to maintain its dominance by 2032
Based on region, Asia-Pacific held the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2022, accounting for more than two-fifths of the global linear polymers market and is projected to register the highest CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period. Asia-Pacific is a key market for linear polymers, both in terms of production and consumption. The market size for linear polymers in Asia-Pacific is driven by the region’s population size, economic growth, and industrial development. The market is witnessing steady growth and was expected to continue expanding in the forecast period. This is owing to the fact that Asia-Pacific is undergoing rapid industrialization, particularly in China, India, and Southeast Asian nations. This industrial growth drives the demand for linear polymers across various industries, including automotive, packaging, construction, electronics, and consumer goods. Increase in manufacturing activities in the region fuel the demand for linear polymers. Moreover, the ongoing urbanization and infrastructure development in Asia-Pacific countries create substantial opportunities for linear polymers. The construction of residential and commercial buildings, transportation networks, utilities, and public infrastructure projects require various linear polymer materials, which in turn, may boost the growth of the linear polymers market.
