Learn Details of the Global Metallocene Polyolefin (mPO) Market| MarketsandMarkets™

Posted by Jack Martin on March 31st, 2023

Metallocene Polyolefin (mPO) is a polyolefin resin produced with a metallocene catalyst. Metallocene catalysts are single-site catalysts that aid in the formation of polymers with uniform molecular structure and properties. Metallocene Polyolefin resins are extremely versatile and are used in a wide range of applications including blow molding, injection molding, and extrusion. Because of their excellent barrier properties, metallocene polyolefin resins are ideal for use in food and beverage packaging. Medical packaging, automotive parts, and electronic components are among the other applications. The Metallocene Polyolefin market size of metallocene polyolefin is estimated to grow from USD 7.89 Billion in 2015 to USD 14.05 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 10.15%.

The film & sheet application accounted for the largest market share, in terms of value, followed by injection molding and others. The injection molding application is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR, in terms of value between 2016 and 2021. The high growth can be attributed to the growing demand for injection molded plastics in packaging and automobile industries. Enhanced clarity and reductions in both initial seal temperature and crystal structure create many advantages for packaging industries. These factors have triggered the demand for metallocene polyolefins and positively influenced the growth of the metallocene polyolefin market worldwide.

ExxonMobil Corporation (U.S.), The Dow Chemical Company (U.S.), LyondellBasel Industries Holdings B.V. (Netherlands), Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (U.S.), Total SA (France), SABIC (Saudi Arabia), Japan Polychem Corporation Ltd., Braskem AG (Brazil), and LG Chem Ltd.
