The Global Grafted Polyolefins Market was valued at USD 1.9 billion in 2023. Projections indicate a CAGR of 4.9% from 2024 to 2032. Grafted polyolefins encompass polyolefins like polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). These have undergone chemical modifications, specifically grafting functional groups, such as maleic anhydride onto their polymer chains. A prominent trend in the industry is the heightened focus on sustainability and environmental implications. With a global push to curtail plastic waste and enhance recycling, manufacturers are channeling investments into bio-based and recyclable grafted polyolefins.
These advancements seek to mitigate the environmental challenges posed by conventional petroleum-derived polymers. Companies are delving into bio-derived monomers and eco-friendly production techniques, crafting grafted polyolefins that match performance standards while reducing ecological impacts. The overall industry is divided into type, processing technology, application, end-use industry, and region. The market categorizes itself by type into maleic anhydride grafted PE, maleic anhydride grafted PP, maleic anhydride grafted EVA, and others.
In 2023, maleic anhydride grafted PE led with a market share valued at USD 665 million, and projections suggest it will surpass USD 1.03 billion by 2032. Within the grafted polyolefins sector, maleic anhydride grafted PE stands out as the most rapidly expanding segment. Processing technologies segment the market into extrusion, emulsion, and others. Extrusion, commanding 51% of the market share in 2023, is set for continued growth through 2032. The preference for extrusion technology stems from its ability to produce high-quality grafted polyolefins with uniform properties. This method, which melts and shapes polyolefins via a die, is particularly suited for mass-producing films, sheets, pipes, and automotive components, where consistency and precision are paramount.
