Increasing the production of shale gas is increasing the production of ethane, which is acting as a driver for the ethylene market. Moreover, rising investment initiatives by market participants towards increasing gas capacity is fueling the demand of the market. For instance, in 2018, ExxonMobil and Saudi Basic Industries Corporation announced their investment of $1.7 billion for expanding the ethylene production facility.  This joint venture is under progress. Furthermore, increasing demand of ethylene from end-users is boosting the market growth. It is due to rise in growth of food and beverages industry. Increasing the women workforce in developing countries has raised the demand for the food packaging industry. Thereby, a high requirement of packaging has raised the demand for polyethylene such as LDPE and HDPE. In addition, the textile industry and agrochemical industry has also scaled the growth of the packaging businesses.  Hence, certain factors are significantly influencing the global ethylene market in recent years.

The global ethylene market can be segmented on the basis of application, and end-use. On the basis of application, the global ethylene market is classified into polyethylene, ethylene oxide, ethylene benzene, and ethylene dichloride.
