Market Definition

Olefins are ethylene, butylene, and propylene compounds produced from fossil fuel sources, such as petroleum or natural gas, through processes like steam cracking or fluid catalytic cracking. Green olefins are a class of hydrocarbon compounds produced from renewable biomass feedstocks such as corn, sugarcane, etc., rather than fossil fuel sources. Some of the bio-based olefins include bio-ethylene, bio-butylene, and bio-propylene.

Market Insights & Analysis: Global Green Olefins Market (2026-32):

The Global Green Olefins Market size was valued at around USD 7.1 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 15.5 billion by 2032. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 13.9% during the forecast period, i.e., 2026-32.

The demand for green olefins witnessed a notable rise globally during the past years due to increasing awareness of environmental sustainability, stringent regulations promoting eco-friendly practices, and a growing preference for renewable & bio-based materials. Industries across various sectors, including plastics, chemicals, consumer goods, etc., sought to reduce their carbon footprint & dependence on fossil fuels.

Additionally, advancements in bio-refining technologies, government initiatives supporting green alternatives, and a shift in consumer preferences towards sustainable economy practices have contributed to the increased demand for green olefins throughout the past years. Besides, concerns regarding effective waste management are rising substantially due to a continuous rise in post-consumer and pre-consumer waste. These include plastic containers, other packaging products, and cosmetics that often end up in landfills & oceans and disrupt marine & terrestrial habitats.

Thus, industrial manufacturers as well as the governments of various economies, especially the US, China, the UK, Brazil, etc., are keenly adopting bio-based olefins in different forms to enable the circular economy. Further, bio-olefin manufacturers are increasingly expanding their business operations to manufacture bio-olefins for usage in tire manufacturing industries for dual benefits, including tire waste reduction post-use and emission reduction during their production. Thus, improving the practices by which industrial manufacturers utilize sustainable raw materials for industrial processing is foreseen to positively shape the Global Green Olefin Market during 2026-32.

Global Green Olefins Market Driver:

Increasing Application of Sustainability Energy Practices in the Automotive Sector

The automotive industry is increasingly focusing on lightweight vehicles to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Green olefins, as bio-based materials, offer a sustainable alternative for producing lightweight components, contributing to the industry's efforts to meet regulatory standards. The rising adoption of eco-friendly fuel solutions by automotive industries to reduce carbon emissions is predicted to elevate the demand for green olefins over the next few years.

Thus, green olefins, mainly butadiene, are used in the production of bio-based plastics for interior components such as dashboards, door panels, tires, and trims. These bio-based materials provide an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastics derived from fossil fuels. As the automotive sector embraces the imperative to cut carbon footprints, green olefins emerge as a crucial enabler of this transition.
