Market Leader - Alpha Olefins Market

The global market for alpha olefins is expected to witness high growth between 2017 and 2022. Increasing demand from end-use industries such as automobiles and packaging are expected to drive the alpha olefins market. Shale gas, which is rich is olefin content, has been discovered in several countries recently, and thus has led to an expansion of the olefin industry. Abundant availability of cheap natural gas-based feedstock from North America’s highly productive shale has led to the growth of the alpha olefins industry. This increase in the availability of ethane and propane feedstock from shale gas has prompted nearly all major North American alpha olefin producers to announce ethylene/propylene or alpha olefins capacity additions.
