Report summary
What's driving double-digit growth in China's LLDPE imports? Since 2010, China's LLDPE imports growth is averaging 8% year-on-year. In 2019, we forecast the Chinese imports growth to double, which is tangential, especially given the underlying weak macroeconomics, over-capacity, and the backdrop of the US-China trade war.
