Polyfilm Market

In this report, the Polyfilm Market has been segmented by Resin Type, End-Use Industry and Geography.

Polyfilm Market, Segmentation by Resin Type

The Polyfilm Market has been segmented by Resin Type into Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Cast Polypropylene (CPP), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Others.

Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)

LDPE films contribute around 30% to the polyfilm market and are a top choice for flexible packaging, shrink films, and carrier bags. Their clarity, flexibility, and chemical resistance make them highly versatile. Growing demand for lightweight, recyclable, and sustainable packaging solutions continues to fuel LDPE adoption across industries.

Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)

Representing about 25% of the market, LLDPE is widely used in stretch films, agricultural coverings, and packaging applications. Its high tensile strength and puncture resistance ensure durability. Increasing industrial and agricultural needs for tear-resistant and robust films are expanding LLDPE’s market share.

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

HDPE accounts for roughly 20% of polyfilm usage and is ideal for grocery bags, heavy-duty packaging, and industrial films. Known for its stiffness, chemical stability, and impact resistance, HDPE is also gaining traction due to eco-friendly and recyclable material trends.

Cast Polypropylene (CPP)

CPP films hold around 12% of the polyfilm market. They are favored in flow wraps, lidding films, and lamination because of their excellent heat sealability and optical clarity. Rising applications in food and medical packaging continue to drive CPP demand globally.
