Global CrossLinked Polyethylene Market By Overview

Cross-linked polyethylene market accounted for USD 5.34 Billion in 2020 and is estimated to be USD 9.72 Billion by 2030 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 6.2%.

Polyethylene is plastic available at low cost that can be reused due to its thermoplastic nature. Cross-linking of polyethylene helps to enhance its thermal resistance and transforming from thermoplastic to thermosetting plastic.Cross-linked polyethylene pipes are an efficient alternative which is not resistant to moisture, acids, and salts. Further the polyethylene is easier to install and provide superior performance. Plumbing is one of the largest applications of cross-linked polyethylene and is also used in wires and cables, due to its property of insulation.
