Availability of Alternative Products to Deter Market Growth

The applicability of alternative products such as Fisher-Tropsch (FT) wax may hamper the demand for the polyethylene wax, thus, resulting in limiting the growth of the global polyethylene wax market. Furthermore, rising crude oil prices, the main source from which polyethylene is derived is also expected to hinder the growth of the market in the forthcoming years. Stringent food packaging regulations are adding into the restraints of the market that will hamper the demand for polyethylene wax used in packaging of food products. However, growing need for polyethylene wax in the asphalt industry as it uses recycled pyrolytic cross-linked polyethylene wax extensively may help the market to recover from these aforementioned restraints.
