Metallocene Polyolefin (mPO) Market by Type (mPE & mPP), Application (Film & Sheet, Injection Molding, and Others), and by Region - Global Forecast to 2021
[168 Pages Report] Metallocene Polyolefin (mPO) Market is projected to reach USD 14.05 Billion by 2021, growing at a CAGR of 10.15% during the forecast period. The report segments the market by application into film & sheet, injection molding, and others (rotomolding, extrusion coating, fiber, blow molding, raffia, wire & cable, and pipes & panels); by type into metallocene polyethylene (mPE) and metallocene polypropylene (mPP); and by region into North America, Western Europe, Central & Eastern Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South America. Base year considered for the study is 2015, while the forecast period is between 2016 and 2021. The market is driven by downgauging and superior mechanical properties of metallocene polyolefin over the conventional polyolefin and increasing growth in the end-use industries.
Both, top-down and bottom-up approaches have been used to estimate and validate the size of the market, and estimate the size of various other dependent submarkets in the overall metallocene polyolefin market. The research study involved the extensive use of secondary sources, directories, and databases such as Hoovers, Bloomberg, Chemical Weekly, Factiva, ICIS, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), among other government and private websites, to identify and collect information useful for the technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the metallocene polyolefin market.

The market size of metallocene polyolefin is estimated to reach USD 14.05 Billion by 2021, growing at a CAGR of 10.15% during the forecast period. The market is driven by increasing global demand for quality resins, rise in packaging industry, food industry developments, and technological advances. The rising demand for meatllocene polyolefin is mainly due to its superior properties over the conventional polyolefin, which is the major driving factor of this market.
Metallocene polyolefins are mainly used in applications, such as film & sheet, injection molding, and others (rotomolding, extrusion coating, fiber, blow molding, raffia, wire & cable, and pipes & panels). In 2015, the film & sheet application is estimated to account for the largest market share among all the applications, in terms of value, followed by injection molding and others. The food and non-food packaging industry is the major driver for the market. The injection molding application is estimated to register the highest CAGR, in terms of both value and volume, between 2016 and 2021 among all the applications.
Metallocene polyolefins are segmented into metallocene polyethylene (mPE) and metallocene polypropylene (mPP). In 2015, the mPE type is estimated to account for the largest market share, in terms of volume, and it is also projected to register the fastest growth in the meatllocene polyolefins market between 2016 and 2021 due to its technical advantages over the conventional polyolefins.
Asia-Pacific, North America, Western Europe, Central & Eastern Europe, the Middle East & Africa, and South America are considered as the main regions of the metallocene polyolefins market. Asia-Pacific dominates the metallocene polyolefins market owing to increased demand from the film & sheet application. The rising demand for quality resins with superior mechanical properties has significantly increased the growth of the regions process industry, which consequently has triggered the demand for metallocene polyolefins. Film & sheet and injection molding are the top 2 applications contributing to the growing demand for meatllocene polyolefins in Asia-Pacific. North America is the second-largest market for meatllocene polyolefins, globally. The mature market of Western Europe is projected to inhibit the growth of metallocene polyolefin market to some extent.
The metallocene polyolefins market faces bottlenecks to its growth due to the fluctuations in raw material prices, which is the major restraint in the usage of meatllocene polyolefins.
The global metallocene polyolefin market is dominated by leading players such as The Dow Chemical Company (U.S.) and ExxonMobil Corporation (U.S.). The diverse product portfolio, strategically positioned R&D centers, continuous adoption of development strategies, and technological advancements are the factors that are responsible for strengthening the market position of these companies in the metallocene polyolefins market. They have been adopting various organic and inorganic growth strategies, such as expansions, new technology developments, and new product launches to enhance their current market shares. This is expected to help the metallocene polyolefins market evolve in more applications and help expand their market shares.
