Ethylene (C₂H₄) refers to an organic compound that appears as a colorless, flammable gas with a slightly sweet taste and odor in its pure form. It is an essential industrial chemical produced through steam cracking of petroleum hydrocarbon feedstocks, such as natural gas and naphtha. It also occurs naturally as a hormone in plants that regulates plant growth, stimulates fruit ripening, and promotes the shedding of leaves. It is widely used in the manufacturing of polymers, such as polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ethylene oxide, alpha-olefins, ethylene dichloride, and styrene. As a result, ethylene finds extensive applications across various industries, including agrochemicals, automotive, packaging, rubber, plastics, detergents, construction, and textiles.

The global ethylene market is primarily driven by the escalating demand for plastics from the packaging sector and the growing usage of PE in the production of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Additionally, the surging need for sanitized and safe hygienic packaged goods and food products amid the recent outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has augmented the demand for ethylene. Furthermore, the development of bio-ethylene due to the increasing environmental concerns, stringent government regulations, and growing need to reduce the carbon footprint has accelerated the product adoption rate. Other factors, including the widespread adoption of lightweight vehicles, rising construction activities, emerging product applications in the medical and agriculture industries, and technological advancements, are also anticipated to propel the market growth.
