United States High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Market Outlook
*this image is indicative*
United States High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Market Growth
The key market drivers include the country's focus on sustainability, shift towards bio-based HDPE products, and increasing demand from various end-use industries, such as the packaging and construction sectors. Several HDPE manufacturers are switching to bio-based raw material sources like sugarcane, corn, and biomass as environmental concerns and laws strengthen. HDPE made of bio-based materials emits fewer greenhouse gases. The United States high density polyethylene (HDPE) market revenue is anticipated to grow as a result of the transition to bio-based HDPE production.
The construction industry is another key driver of the HDPE market since it already holds a prominent place in the USA’s economy and is still on the rise. In 2023, total construction spending reached USD 1.98 trillion, which was a 7.4% increase from the previous year. This increased the demand for HDPE due to its durable and anti-corrosive properties that make it stronger than wood, other plastics, and some metals as well. Plastic pipes in the construction sector are gradually replacing traditional pipes composed of materials like steel and concrete, among others, because they are easier to install, less expensive, and offer greater performance. This is anticipated to greatly contribute to the growth of the United States high density polyethylene (HDPE) industry.
E-commerce platforms are constantly growing and require better packaging for the storage and delivery of the products. This positively influences the market because HDPE is commonly used in manufacturing packaging bottles due to its moisture-resistant nature, flexibility, and durability. Plastic also doesn’t react with chemicals, making it ideal for this growing industry.

Key Trends and Recent Developments
Increased consumer spending on packaged food, growth of the construction sector, and high preference in recycling have accelerated the high density polyethylene demand growth.
Increased Consumer Spending on Packaged Food Items Drives Market Growth
According to the latest data by United States Department of Agriculture, food expenditures accounted for 12.8% of the overall household expenditure in 2022, a 0.4% year on year rise. A major share of the expenditure was held by the packaged food industry, which has high demand for HDPE plastics in packaging due to its durability, high impact resistance, and melting point. Further increase in expenditure is expect to propel growth of the United States High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) market.
Growth in the Construction Sector Creates High Demand for HDPE Plastics
The US construction sector, is witnessing high applicability of HDPE plastic materials such as drainage pipes, and conduits, and registered a year-on-year expenditure growth of 1.6% between June 2023 and June 2024. The expenditure is expected to grow further during the forecast period driving the market growth. HDPE plastics are preferred in the construction sector due to its high tensile strength and ability to get recycled easily.
Increased Use of HDPE Plastics Due to Its Recyclable Nature
Recycling plastics is a major trend in the US plastics industry, especially to meet the country’s carbon emission reduction targets. According to the Association of Plastic Recyclers, around 5 billion pounds of plastics was recycled in North America in 2021. Since HDPE plastics are the easiest to recycle when compared to other types of plastic materials, a growth in the US plastic recycling industry will positively impact its demand growth.
Government Norms to Replace Lead Pipes Creates New Demand for HDPE Plastics as an Alternative
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a proposal to completely remove and eliminate the use of lead pipes from drinking water applications. This move by the government is expected to increase the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastics demand as it is an ideal alternative to lead pipes due to sustainability factors.
