The global alpha olefin market size was estimated at USD 8.26 billion in 2018 and is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2019 to 2025. Growing demand for polyethylene, owing to its usage in various applications, such as packaging, industrial processes, consumer goods, and others is expected to drive the market. Alpha olefins are organic compounds produced by the oligomerization of ethylene, which is the most commonly used process. Oligomerization process consists of products with even-numbered carbon chains, usually ranging from C4 to C30+. Different companies, such as Chevron, Shell, and Phillips, have developed their own manufacturing techniques. Modifications by these producers at different stages of the reaction sequence lead to different product and chain-length of alpha-olefin polymers. Ethylene, which is manufactured using crude oil and naphtha, is the major raw material used in the production of alpha-olefin. Shale gas boom of 2008 in North America led to a dramatic...
