The review presents the evolutionary development and comparative analysis of the globally accepted types of catalytic systems, used by the world’s leading chemical and petrochemical companies in industrial production of valuable polyolefins. Promising directions for the development of new catalytic systems, aimed at improving the characteristics of the existing technological processes and products and creating new ones, have been identified. The situation on the global and regional markets for polyolefins and polyolefin catalysts has been studied based on a number of market indicators; the market development forecast for the coming years has been provided. The polyolefin markets’ susceptibility to innovations in the development of catalytic systems is shown.
