Surging demand of fuel additives for better engine performance and low greenhouse gases emission is boosting the growth of alpha olefin market.
The outbreak of coronavirus has disrupted the supply chain which in turn hampered the growth of alpha olefin market. According to World trade Organization global trade may fall by between 13% and 32% in 2020 as the COVID 19 pandemic has disrupted normal economic activity.
Type - Segment Analysis
Linear alpha olefin segment holds the largest share of more than 55% in the alpha olefin market in 2019. Linear alpha olefins are widely used in the production of plasticizers. Plasticizers are added to high weight polymers such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for making it more flexible, durable, and elastic.
Increasing use of polyvinyl chloride in wire and cable insulation, windshield system, and piping and tubing applications is accelerating the use of plasticizers, which in turn boosts the growth of alpha olefin market. According to trade map, worldwide import of compound plasticizers for rubber or plastics increased from 383,491 tons in 2017 to 401,347 tons in 2018, subsequently raising the demand for alpha olefins.
Based on the application, polyolefin co-monomer segment holds the largest share of more than 25% in the alpha olefin market in 2019. 1-butene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene are used as co-monomer in the production of High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). Polyethylene is economical with low co-efficient of friction, excellent chemical & moisture resistance and lightweight properties. Rising demand for polyethylene on account of growing automotive and construction activities is augmenting the growth of the alpha olefin market. According to All India Plastics Manufacturers' Association (AIPMA), India’s polyethylene demand may increase by 129%, surpassing Asia’s projected growth rate of 81% by 2023. Thus increase in demand of polyethylene fuels the growth of alpha olefin market.
End-Use Industry – Segment Analysis
Based on the end-use industry, packaging segment is projected to witness the highest CAGR of 7% in alpha olefin market during the forecast period. Alpha olefin acts as a plasticizer in polyethylene production and as a paper sizing agent in paper & pulp and both of them are widely used in packaging industry for wrapping or covering applications. Increasing concerns about safety and protecting the product from abrasion, water or external stresses have accelerated the use of plastic sheets for packaging applications. In order to protect the food from oxidation and moisture, packaging is preferred in food industries. Growing demand from food, beverages and pharmaceuticals is driving the growth of packaging industry which in turn fuels the growth of alpha olefin market.
COVID-19 has badly impacted the alpha olefin market. Lack of manpower has led many manufacturing companies to stop their production which further results in their downfall. Oil & Gas, paper, and automotive industries are facing huge losses, thus affecting the demand for alpha olefins. According to the Society of India Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), passenger vehicle sales declined by 51% to 143,014 units in March 2020 whereas the sales of commercial vehicles crashed 88% to 13,027 units. Decrease in sales of automobile has hampered the growth of alpha olefin market as alpha olefins are used as lubricant and fuel additives.
Geography - Segment Analysis
North America dominated the alpha olefin market with a share of 35% in 2019 followed by Asia Pacific and Europe. Alpha olefins are used for the synthesis of oil field chemicals. Increasing demand of oil and natural gases has augmented the use of oil field chemicals for easy extraction and separation of oil & gases. According to U.S Energy Information Administration (EIA), U.S. petroleum production in 2018 increased by 16% while production of natural gas rose by 12% which further aided the growth of alpha olefin market. Furthermore, technology advancement and existence of major players such as INEOS oligomers, ExxonMobil Chemical Co., Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP in North America further boosts the growth.
