Dublin, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Grafted Polyolefins Market by Type, Application, End-use Industry, Processing Technology, Region – Global Forecast to 2030” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global grafted polyolefins market is set to expand significantly from USD 4.71 billion in 2025 to USD 5.98 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.9%. Key drivers include multimaterial compatibility, adhesion performance in automotive, packaging, and construction sectors, and the increasing use of polymer blends and recycled plastics as effective compatibilizers.
The automotive industry, driven by lightweight initiatives and advanced multilayer packaging systems, significantly supports market growth. The push towards sustainability and recyclability further encourages the use of functionalized polyolefins. Innovations such as reactive extrusion and compounding processes enhance application versatility and cost-effectiveness.
By type, the maleic anhydride grafted PE segment is anticipated to account for the largest market share during the forecast period (2025-2030). This segment leads due to its advantages, such as low cost, high versatility, and exceptional adhesion and compatibility with polar substrates. It is predominantly used as a compatibilizing agent for multilayer packaging films and blends of recycled polymers. Grafted polyethylene remains dominant due to high demand in packaging and construction industries and scalable extrusion-grafting technologies.
By end-use industry, the automotive segment is anticipated to account for the largest market share during the forecast period (2025-2030). The automotive sector’s demand for grafted polyolefins stems from their role as compatibilizers in polymer processing, enhancing bond strength and mechanical properties in composite materials. This is crucial for replacing metal components with lightweight alternatives, driven by fuel economy standards and emissions regulations.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to account for the largest market share during the forecast period (2025-2030). The region’s dominance is attributed to its significant manufacturing capacity and the growing demand for plastics in automotive, packaging, and construction. Cost-effective production techniques and raw material availability fuel regional growth. Increased investment in advanced processing technologies and favorable export-oriented government policies further support market expansion.
