Blow moulding will have a significant market share during the study period from 2020 to 2027

The segment is divided into blow molded,pipe and extruded, film and sheet, injection molded, and others in terms of form. The segment's growth is expected to be aided by rising demand for blow moulded high-density polyethylene extrusion containers in dairies, water, and other beverage packaging. High-density polyethylene that has been blow moulded has outstanding qualities such as compressive properties and temperature resistance, making it ideal for these operations. Having a meltdown the plastics and moulding it into a parison, or in the case of injections and injections stretch blow moulding (ISB), a preform, is the first step in the blow moulding process. The parison is a plastic tube with a hollow in one end that allows compressed air to pass through. After that, the parison is clamped into a mould and blown into it with air. The plastic is then pushed out to meet the mould by the air pressure. The mould expands and the material is removed again when the plastic having cooled and hardened. Blow moulded parts are more expensive than injection molded parts, but less expensive than rotational moulded parts. During the forecast period, this aspect will propel the market forward.

The building and construction industry is expected to boost the market growth

The segment is divided into agriculture, building and construction, automotive, packaging, and others in terms of end-user. During the projection period, the building and construction industry held the prominent share of the increased polyethylene extrusion market in terms of end used. The growing usage of elevated polyethylene in numerous construction materials such as plates and film for window, floor, ceilings, cover building materials, and seal up rooms is predicted to drive up prices for the commodity. The rise of the construction sector is directly attributed to the growing of high-density polyethylene. Construction output is expected to increase by 70% to $12.7 trillion by 2020, accounting for 14.6% of global output, with some of the largest rising emerging economies like China, India, Russia, Brazil, Russia, and Poland, as well as the United States, driving expansion. However, the rapid development that outperforms world GDP will be focused on nations like China, India, and the United States. With annual construction growth of 7.4%, India will overtake Japan as the world's third-largest construction market. During the forecast period, these factors will propel the market forward.

The environment will be harmed by the production and degradation of high-density polyethylene extrusion market

Producing high-density polyethylene extrusion consumes a lot of energy and produces a lot of CO2, a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change and global warming. It takes a lot of time to degrade, and it can spend decades in landfills. Incineration is the only way to get rid of HDPE material without emitting dangerous gases. These are all the primary restraints that would affect the high-density polyethylene market during the projected period.

High manufacturing costs may limit market expansion in the coming years.
