Cyclic Polyolefin refers to a kind of thermoplastic engineering plastic with high added value obtained by ring-opening polymerization or addition polymerization of cycloolefins. According to different preparation processes, cycloolefin materials are divided into two types: cycloolefin copolymers (COC) and cycloolefin polymers (COP). COC is made by copolymerization of ethylene and norbornene monomer (NB) under the action of a metallocene catalyst system, and COP is made by ring-opening metathesis polymerization of norbornene monomer under the action of a catalyst.

In 2024, global Cyclic Polyolefin production reached approximately 77428 MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 13882 per MT

The cyclic polyolefin (CPO) market serves specialized applications requiring high optical clarity, chemical resistance, and low moisture absorption, most notably in medical devices, pharmaceutical packaging, optics, and electronics. CPO materials—produced via cyclic monomer polymerization—offer advantages such as exceptional transparency, low birefringence, and stability over a wide temperature range. In healthcare, they are used for diagnostic labware, syringes, vials, and blister packs due to their inertness and sterilization compatibility. In electronics and optics, their low dielectric constant and optical properties make them suitable for optical lenses, display films, and semiconductor packaging. Market demand is supported by miniaturization in electronics, the need for precision optics, and the rising use of safe, inert materials in drug delivery systems.
Regionally, Asia-Pacific holds the largest share of the CPO market, driven by strong electronics manufacturing in Japan, South Korea, China, and Taiwan, as well as expanding medical device production hubs. North America and Europe are also significant markets due to their advanced healthcare sectors and focus on high-performance polymers in optical applications. Growth is further fueled by regulatory shifts favoring BPA-free and glass-alternative packaging, alongside innovations in film and molding grades to serve emerging applications such as 5G devices and automotive sensor optics. Sustainability considerations are prompting manufacturers to develop recyclable and environmentally compliant CPO grades to meet stricter global environmental standards.
