Market Insights
What is linear low-density polyethylene?
Linear low-density polyethylene exhibits stronger mechanical properties such as excellent impact and tensile resistance, in comparison to other chemical derivatives. It also possesses high tensile properties, which makes it the most suitable raw material for manufacturing films. The LLDPE-based films are widely used in various applications where elongation & flexibility are vital, which is used in geo-membrane liners, hazardous waste liners, canal linings, and in the mining sector.
The Linear Low-density Polyethylene (LLDPE) market is projected to grow from USD 57.3 billion in 2020 to USD 77.3 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of over 5.2% during the forecast period.
