The thermoplastic polymer known as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is produced by catalysing the conversion of petroleum. Its impact resistance, melting point, strength-to-density ratio, and tensile strength are all high. Commercially, it can be purchased in semi-transparent natural and black HDPE, which is necessary for tanks and other constructed items that are exposed to light. HDPE is used in the construction of long-lasting infrastructure because it is more resilient than regular polyethylene and can withstand strong acids and bases, reducing agents, and mild oxidants. HDPE is utilized in the production of corrugated pipes for home and rural sewage treatment projects and drainage because it has a smooth inner wall and allows for flexible connection and portability.

Since petroleum-based feedstocks are used to make HDPE, changes in crude oil prices have a big effect on the cost of the product. Any significant changes in the price of crude oil can directly affect the cost of making HDPE, which could have an influence on profit margins and the stability of the market overall. Additionally, the expanding environmental limitations on the usage and disposal of plastic may cause challenges for the HDPE market. Governments around are enacting stricter legislation to reduce plastic waste and promote recycling. This can lead to limitations on the application of HDPE or higher costs for manufacturers to meet regulatory requirements.

Different value chains saw differing impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic on the need for HDPE. While packaging remained in high demand, especially for food, medicine, and sanitary products, demand fell sharply in the automobile and construction sectors. The pandemic also led to an increase in healthcare-related and delivery services, which increased the need for HDPE packaging and positively impacted the expansion of the worldwide market. Moreover, the HDPE market participants have experienced a great deal of optimism due to the easing of stringent regulations and the acceleration of measures towards economic recuperation. Because of this, it is expected that the market would consistently grow on a global basis throughout the forecast years.
