North America Linear Low-Density Polyethylene Market To Reach $24.8 Billion By 2030

North America Linear Low-Density Polyethylene Market Growth & Trends

The North America linear low-density polyethylene market size is expected to reach USD 24.8 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.4% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing popularity of packaged foods is likely to boost the demand for linear low density polyethylene. The rapid expansion of retail stores across U.S. and Canada has driven the demand for packaged foods coupled with increasing consumption of fresh food products, positively influencing the market growth.

Favorable federal regulations laid down by agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regarding carbon emissions along with the initiatives to develop plastics application for the development of lightweight and fuel efficient cars are likely to augment the growth of North America LLDPE market.

Packaged foods have been gaining popularity in U.S. owing to various factors such as fast-paced lifestyle and increasing consumer spending on convenient food products. These food products are characterized by the ease of consumption and cleanliness. Plastic packaging for food provides resistance and protection against microorganisms and bacteria, which reduces the risk of foodborne illnesses. It also increases the shelf life of the product. Moreover, plastic food packaging provides safety during handling and transportation.

Packaging end-use segment is expected to create lucrative opportunities for linear low density polyethylene films. Smaller amount of plastic may be utilized for the packaging of beverages in comparison to other conventional materials. This saves transportation costs, energy and time by trimming waste in all aspects. Unlike other conventional materials, LLDPE may also be reused for multiple applications and recycling processes are simple and effective for plastic compounds.
