Ethylene - The largest market among top 15 petrochemicals 

Ethylene is primarily a petrochemical used as a feedstock in the manufacturing of polymer plastics, fibers and other organic chemicals that are ultimately consumed in the packaging, transportation, and construction industries. Ethylene constituted about 25% share of the total petrochemical market in 2016, in terms of volume and is projected to maintain its share during the forecast period. With advent of abundant shale gas in North America, the majority of global players in the ethylene business have shifted their production facilities to North America to churn out low cost ethylene from ethane.

Packaging- The fastest-growing market for basic polymers 

The packaging industry especially in developing markets of India, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and countries of Middle East such as UAE, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait is expected to grow by more than 20% year-on-year during the forecast period. The growth is driven by rise in health awareness among people, decreasing quality of tap water, and increase in tourism globally. The GGC (Gulf Cooperation Council) market for bottled water is projected to grow by about 50% each year driven by scarcity of water and rise in population. With rise in disposable income in the emerging economies, the demand of juices, nutrition drinks is projected to grow at high rates in the forecast period.
