"HDPE: The fastest growing type of cross-linked polyethylene"

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) was the fastest-growing type in the cross-linked polyethylene market in 2015. The rapid growth of cross-linked HDPE is attributed to its thermosetting nature, which is due to the cross-linking which provides greater mechanical strength and improved stress crack resistance in comparison to the traditional HDPE. Moreover, its lower cost and utilization in the production of pipes and tubings which are used to transport hot/cold water and gases, makes it the fastest-growing application in the cross-linked polyethylene market.

"Automotive: The fastest-growing application of cross-linked polyethylene"

Automotive is the fastest growing application segment in the global cross-linked polyethylene market. Use of cross-linked polyethylene in manufacturing automobile parts and battery cables in the transmission and power distribution channels is driving the global cross-linked polyethylene market. Moreover, the growing use of hybrid and electronic cars is also likely to drive the demand in the automotive application of the market.

"Asia-Pacific: The fastest-growing market for cross-linked polyethylene"
