Polyethylene Cast Film Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Material (High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)), By Application (Food & Beverages, Pharmaceutical, Automotive Equipments, Textile, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The polyethylene cast films usually made in a thickness of 0.4 to 70 mil. In the cast extrusion process, the plastic resins are melted and pushed through a slit die into films, then cooled down and wound up to the final roll products. The extrusion, shaping, and cooling are three main processes which are used in the operations. Furthermore, the products offer superior flexibility, gloss, surface smoothness, planarity, transparency, and good tear resistance. These properties surge the demand for polyethylene cast films in various applications such as food & beverages, pharmaceutical, automotive equipment, and textile.

The rising demand for polyethylene cast film for the packaging of foodstuffs will fuel the market growth. The product provides high clarity & gloss, toughness, durability, flexibility, and maintains the shelf life of packed food. It could be also recycled easily. These beneficial properties surge its demand for deep freezing and the packaging of fresh vegetables. The innovation in food packaging coupled with rising packaged food demand on account of changing lifestyles will aid to drive the food packaging industry. Hence, rising food packaging demand will fuel the polyethylene cast film market growth during the forecast timeline.  

However, the growing preference for alternative packaging solutions including polypropylene and aluminum reduces the adoption of polyethylene cast films in various applications restricting the market growth.
