Polyethylene Wax Market Overview
The Polyethylene Wax Market is projected to reach USD 2.2 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period.
The global polyethylene wax market is growing at a rapid pace. The market growth attributes to the increasing consumption of PE wax, mainly in the automotive and packaging industries. Polyethylene (PE) waxes deliver some unique properties such as thermal stability, biocompatibility, and durability to products. Resultantly, PE waxes are used in various applications such as plastic processing, hot melt adhesives, inks, and coatings, which drive the market growth excellently.
Moreover, the prominence that PE waxes are garnering as a key material used in the coating and adhesive sector fosters the growth of the market. According to Market Research Future (MRFR), the global polyethylene wax market is expected to create substantial revenues by 2030, growing at an impressive CAGR during the review period (2022 – 2030). Moreover, the increasing consumption of oxidized polyethylene wax in paint & coating sectors influence the market growth further.
Also, the massive consumption of PE waxes in the food packaging, and textile sector impacts the market growth positively. Additionally, factors such as the increasing population and rapid urbanization & industrialization, increase the size of the market. The rising global economy plays a causal role in the development of the market.
Conversely, price volatility, and the demand-supply gap in raw materials are expected to impede the growth of the market. Nevertheless, augmenting usages of PE waxes in plastic processing, and hot melt adhesive would support the market growth throughout the assessment period.
