An alpha olefin is an olefin or an alkene with a double bond, located on the primary or alpha position of the carbon chain, or between the 1st and 2nd carbon atom. There are two types of alpha-olefins, namely, branched and linear (or normal). North America and Europe have been lucrative markets for alpha olefins; however, Asia-Pacific has emerged as a major consumer, due to the increasing demand from the export-based industry development and demand from the growing domestic front due to a rise in living standards. The global alpha olefin market is estimated to grow from $7,472 million in 2013 to $9,589 million by 2018. In 2013, the alpha olefin market was dominated by the North American region, with a share of 44.7% of the alpha olefin market, in terms of volume.
