1-hexene is an alpha-olefin and synthesized by oligomerization of ethylene along with a catalyst. In the oligomerization process, vanadium catalysts are employed and the involved the combination of ethylene molecules to develop into the alpha-olefin known as 1-hexene. 1-hexene is a colorless liquid with various applications in the chemical industry such as synthesizing polyethylene, polymers, elastomers. dyes, perfumes, flavors and much more.
The primary market driving factor for the growth of 1-Hexene market is for synthesizing chemicals such as polyethylene, specifically the Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), which is a flexible, shapeable, and lightweight plastic. LDPE is used in industries for its toughness, barrier properties, and corrosion resistance making it a perfect material for manufacturing plastic bags, foil wraps, toys, trays, food packaging, wash bottles, certain computer parts and much more. Besides, the growing demand of 1-hexene to manufacture other organic compounds will result in the further expansion of the 1-hexene market.
Based on region, North America is the leading consumer across all the regions around the globe. The 1- Hexene demand by North America consumed approximately 34% of the global 1-hexene. The reasons lying behind the growing demand for Polyethylene are for manufacturing food packaging, plastic cutlery, and others. Besides, Asia Pacific stands as a strong consumer of 1-hexene and is anticipated to expand further by the forecast period.
Based on the end-user industry, the global 1-Hexene market is segmented into Polyethylene, Elastomers, and others. The polyethylene industry is the dominating end-use industry holding a market share of approximately 94% of the global 1-Hexene market. It is anticipated that this sector will grow by a CAGR of 6.7% in the forecast period. Owning up to the properties of Polyethylene, such as its ability to withstand physical pressure, durability & and flexibility, facilitate its usage in the simple molding of items. Polyethylene is rapidly being used in toys, sports equipment, and clothing for the fashion industry. Additionally, Polyethylene finds its application in the agricultural sector for making sprinklers, microtubes, valves, and emitting tubes in irrigation fields which further fuels the demand for global 1-Hexene.
Major players in the production of Global 1-Hexene market are SASOL, Jubail United Petrochemical Company (JUPC), Badlands NGLs LLC, INEOS, National petrochem company, CPCC Jubail, Qatar Chemical Company (Q-Chem), and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company.
