What is Ethylene?

Ethylene (C₂H₄) is a colorless gas that is flammable with a slightly sweet odor and a petrochemical building block with one of the largest volumes. Ethylene is the simplest alkene or olefin of all. Derivative compounds from it are used to produce various plastics like polyethylene, ethylene oxide, and ethylene dichloride. It also produces other chemicals and synthetic fibers. Steam cracking produces ethylene. Steam cracking breaks down hydrocarbons using heat and steam to treat hydrocarbons. Naphtha and ethane are cracked mainly. It functions as a natural plant hormone, promoting the ripening of fruits and development of plant organs excluding industrial use.

What is Driving the Ethylene Market?

The global ethylene market is expected to grow because polyethylene-based packaging materials are increasingly used within the food, e-commerce, and consumer product industries in conjunction with lightweight, durable plastics being used within the automotive, building and construction industries. The shift toward ethane-based manufacturing in North America has lowered feedstock costs, improving the economic outlook for the industry. The other trends are investors invest capital into bio-based ethylene to lower carbon emissions, developers advance cracking technologies to maximize energy efficiency, and builders construct new capacity in Asia-Pacific to meet the region’s high demand growth. The circular economy and recycling are also contributing to producers’ sustainable ways of making products and investments into waste-reduction technologies.
