Asia Pacific holds dominant position in the global polyolefin resin market, owing to presence of key manufacturers in the region. Growth of automobile industry in emerging economies such as China and India is increasing the demand for polyolefins in Asia Pacific, thereby driving growth of the market in this region.

Moreover, Middle East is expected to be one of the largest exporters of polyolefin resins over the forecast period. The polyolefin resin market growth in Europe is considerably low due to sluggish economic growth.
