A leading market research company has recently
concluded that Metallocene Polyolefins (PE/PP)
in USA will grow from 772 KT in 2004 to almost
2 million tons in 2009. Western European consumption
of metallocene PE saw an increase from 350,000
tons in 2002 to 483,000 tons in 2004.
MLLDPE that has already reached a level of
612 KT in 2004 will strengthen its premier position
by reaching a level of 1340 KT. MHDPE will also
gain from 90 KT to 318 KT while MPP having the
smallest volume of 70 KT in 204 will grow highest
and reach a level of 261 KT. The share of MLLDPE
in 2009 will reduce from 79% to almost 70% while
MHDPE and MPP will gain market shares.
