Global Linear low density polyethylene – LLDPE suppliers (+websites of companies)

Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is one of the most widely used polyethylenes in the world. LLDPE suppliers need to meet the demand for LLDPE, which will presumably achieve the highest percentage increases until 2026, with rates of 3.0% per year. An increase in demand for packaging materials and plastic products’ availability at affordable rates is the main reason for the LLDPE market’s growth.

The highest application segment of the LLDPE market is the film segment. The rising demand for LLDPE films from the packaging sector has led to the growth of the LLDPE market in film applications.
