Polyolefin powders market: High demand in end-use industries across the globe is set to drive the growth of the global market.

Pune, India, August, 2018 /press release/- Market Research Future Published a Half-Cooked Research Report on Polyolefin Powders Market Research Report.

The global polyolefin powders market has been segmented by type, application, end-use industry, and region.

By type, the global polyolefin powders market has been segmented into polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). The PE segment is expected to lead the market due to the extensive use of PE powder in rotomolding as it offers high flexibility, excellent wrap resistance, consistent shrinkage, and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, it does not require stabilization additives to be thermally stable and can be molded using high temperature, high-speed rotational molding equipment without excessive oxidation. PP powders have polymers, pigments, fillers, and reinforcing agents added to them, which has led to their widespread use to produce additive masterbatches, mineral-filled masterbatches and compounds, elastomer-modified compounds, glass fiber, and woodstock-reinforced compounds.

Based on application, the market has been segmented into rotomolding, masterbatches, SMC, BMC, dusting agents, sintering agents, binding agents, carpet applications, and others. Rotomolding is used to manufacture tanks and containers, toys, leisure products, industrial products such as recycling units, blower housing, and water filtration systems, transportation products such as diesel fuel tanks, tractor dashboards, wheel arches, instrument panels, and ducting, medical products such as stretchers, casing for medical specimens and samples, facial oxygen masks, and paramedic cases, and marine industry products such as ideal floats, buoys, dock floats, and pool liners, as well as recreational watercraft such as pontoons and kayaks.

The market has been segmented, by end-use industry, into electronics, food packaging, construction, automotive, textiles, medical, and others. The automotive is expected to be dominant due to the extensive use of polymeric compounds in the manufacturing of automobiles. The demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient automobiles to meet stringent regulations for volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions has resulted in an increased use of plastic materials in automobiles. The construction segment is expected to account for the second-largest market share due to rapid industrialization across the globe.
