Ethene Production Cost Analysis

Report Overview:

Ethene (C2H4), or alkenes, is an important, colorless, flammable industrial organic chemical with a faint sweet and musky odor when pure. It is widely used in the chemical industry as a starting material for the preparation of several two-carbon compounds, including ethanol, ethylene oxide, acetaldehyde, vinyl chloride, polymer plastics, fibers, and other organic chemicals. Ethene is produced by the steam cracking of fractions obtained from the distillation of petroleum or natural gas, such as ethane and propane. Currently, the compound is witnessing a massive demand for manufacturing high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polyester, antifreeze for aircrafts, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes, medical devices, synthetic rubber, and clothing.  

The increasing need for high-quality packaging solutions has significantly surged the demand for polyethylene, which represents one of the primary factors providing an impetus to the market growth. Plastic packaging is witnessing extensive application in groceries, transportation, and e-commerce platforms. Moreover, the increasing requirement for lightweight plastic in the construction sector and the rising compound utilization across the agriculture sector are bolstering the market growth. This is further supported by the increasing global population, rapidly expanding food and beverage (F&B) sector, and rising investments in building and infrastructural development. Besides this, automobile manufacturers are extensively employing ethene to produce auto parts, pipes, fuel tanks, car bodies, and cables, which is creating a positive outlook for the market. Additionally, the shifting preference toward bio-based products, surging shale gas exploration activities, and the significant expansion in the packaging sector are driving the market growth. In line with this, burgeoning investments in research and development (R&D) activities and the large-scale application of ethane gas across several industrial verticals are bolstering the market growth. Apart from this, rapid technological advancements and rising merger and acquisition (M&A) activities amongst key players are accelerating the market growth.
