Low Capital Investment to Boost Demand for Polyethylene Wax
The demand for polyethylene is increasing widely due to its growing use in paper and paperboard coatings, manufacturing of consumer goods, and in the food and beverage industry. Polyethylene wax has excellent resistive properties towards moisture and grease. For example, the presence of polyethylene in packaging films helps in minimizing the spread of printing ink into the food product. Moreover, rising demand for packaged food across various nations coupled with increasing working population and changing lifestyle dynamics will aim in bringing high growth opportunities for the global polyethylene wax market during the forecast tenure.
Moreover, the polyethylene wax is cost effective and can be easily stored and transported. It can also be molded as per the need and do not require huge capital investment. Thus, these properties have increased the use of polyethylene wax at a large scale, which will significantly expand the market in near future.

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.
