LONDON , January 3, 2012 (press release) – Today the developed economies of Europe and the USA have reached a standpoint on the polyethylene high density (HDPE) markets - the indexes are resting at the saturation level. These countries are the key exports of HDPE to the emerging economies of the Asia-Pacific region. Detailed analytical review of the HDPE market and its future is offered within the new market research study "Polyethylene High Density (HDPE) 2011 World Market Outlook and Forecast up to 2016" recently published by Merchant Research & Consulting Ltd.

Today the developed economies of Europe and the USA have reached a standpoint on the polyethylene high density (HDPE) markets - the indexes are resting at the saturation level. These countries are the key exports of HDPE to the emerging economies of the Asia-Pacific region. Here the demand is astonishingly high and is believed to drive the total global HDPE market in future. The world demand is forecast to grow at the lavish 6-7% annually in the coming 5 years.

Among the major HDPE application industries there are the packaging and construction sectors - they are the key drivers of the demand. Thanks to the vast infrastructure development and the changing lifestyles these industries are expanding fast mainly in the developing countries. Another driving factor of the HDPE market is the competitiveness of the material opposing to the discredited PVC, and its compliance with new technologies that are being introduced.

Detailed analytical review of the HDPE market and its future is offered within the new market research study "Polyethylene High Density (HDPE) 2011 World Market Outlook and Forecast up to 2016". It studies the market at the global, regional and country level, and provides information on the past and the present of the HDPE industry and projections through 2016.

The information examined within the report represents the major market metrics such as production and consumption volumes, trade dynamics and prices for HDPE during the analysed periods. Key producers and consumers profiles are featured. The market forecasts unveil the awaited trends and developments in the HDPE industry, opportunities and future volumes and prices.
