The global alpha olefins market is expected to reach USD 9.98 billion by 2022, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing demand for polyethylene on account of its versatile applications is expected to drive the global alpha olefins market. The growth of automotive and consumer goods industries, particularly in emerging markets of Asia Pacific and Latin America is also expected to foster the market growth.
Positive outlook on oilfield drilling activities is projected to increase alpha olefins demand over next seven years. Fluctuating ethylene prices coupled with high energy cost is expected to remain a key challenge for industry participants.
1-Hexene emerged as the leading alpha olefins type and accounted for 24.6% of total market volume in 2014. 1-Hexene is also anticipated to witness the highest growth of 5.4% over the forecast period.
