Market Overview:
light olefins market is estimated to expand at 5.78 % CAGR during the assessment period (2017-2023). The market is expected to reach USD 475.8 million by the end of 2023 owing to the shifting focus of the consumers towards plastic goods. Light olefins are derived by hydrocracking of hydrocarbons under high temperature. Raw materials such as ethane, propane, naphtha, biomass, and butane are required to produce light olefins.

Drivers and Constraints Impacting the Market:
With the shifting focus of the consumers towards plastic goods over conventional items like metal, wood, steel, and others owing to the reduction in the cost of raw material and energy for the production of light olefins, the market is predicted to stimulate. The conversion of light olefins from methanol is another factor contributing to the growth of the market. For instance, 100 % methanol can be converted to light olefins using zeolites, with the help of technologies namely UOP/ Hydro MTO and Mobil’s MTO process. Rising exploration of oil and gas reserves as well as growing trend of using light olefins for producing biofuels from bio-ethylene using sugarcane and corn is expected to foster the market growth over the review period.
On the flip side, ethylene is toxic and might pose threat to the environment. This is estimated to inhibit the market growth over the assessment period.
