In the October 2025 edition of the ADI Chemicals Newsletter, we begin by examining how POE and POP demand growth will continue in automotive, packaging, and renewable applications. Global demand for polyolefin elastomers (POE) and plastomers (POP) has grown steadily, driven by expanding use in packaging, polymer modification, and foam applications, with increasing adoption in plastics recycling, hot-melt adhesives (HMAs), and solar encapsulants. ADI Plus offers exclusive access to a comprehensive outlook on demand drivers, POE and POP demand by application, and demand forecast through 2045.
This edition also highlights key developments across the sector, including recent plant announcements in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, major mergers and acquisitions shaping global portfolios, new partnerships for advanced materials feedstock supply, and finally, significant plant closures in North America and Europe. From Henkel’s $30 million investment in South Dakota to Berkshire Hathaway’s $9.8 billion acquisition of OxyChem, and closures by Invista and BASF, these updates reflect the evolving dynamics of the global chemicals and materials industry.
