Polypropylene (PP) Market Analysis: Industry Market Size, Plant Capacity, Production, Process, Technology, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End-Use, Foreign Trade, Sales Channel, Regional Demand, Company Share, Manufacturing Process, Policy and Regulatory Landscape, 2015-2030

H1 2023: The major producers of Polypropylene (PP) in H1 2023 were Braskem, Reliance Industries Limited, ExxonMobil Chemical, and Borouge. Although, Braskem held the largest production capacity of PP in H1 2023. In late June 2023, Grupa Azoty Group announced the beginning of operations at the biggest polypropylene and propylene facility in Central and Eastern Europe, Polimery Police. The Grupa Azoty Group's new facility will yearly manufacture 429 thousand tonnes of propylene and 437 thousand tonnes of polypropylene. Poland will now join the list of top producers of this polypropylene in Europe as a result of the start of production at Polimery Police. This will considerably enhance Grupa Azoty's position in the European plastic market. Prices for polypropylene in the Asia-Pacific region showed a mixed trend during H1 2023.  Due to a lack of demand before the Lunar New Year holidays, the Chinese polypropylene market experienced a gloomy start to H1 2023. After the holidays, prices increased as suppliers refilled their supplies in response to a slight uptick in demand from downstream packaging sectors. However, prices dropped in March 2023 in the Chinese market as several Polypropylene suppliers were eager to destock their sizable inventories. Similarly, Europe experienced fluctuations in the PP prices in H1 2023. Due to a fall in demand from downstream sectors, polypropylene prices in the German market experienced a downfall in the first two months of 2023. Although, because of strong operating rates and a steady stream of imports, supplies were comparatively adequate. However, due to a minor improvement in market sentiment in March 2023, the prices for polypropylene began to rise. The increased consumption from downstream sectors like Packaging and Automotive, Germany witnessed a slight hike of polypropylene prices. 

 

The global Polypropylene (PP) market stood at approximately 74 million tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 5.54% during the forecast period until 2030. Recently, Nayara Energy laid the foundation of a new petrochemical project at Vadinar, Gujarat, India. This Polypropylene plant which will have an annual capacity of 450 thousand tonnes of polypropylene is estimated to be finished in 2023. 

 

The packaging industry dominates the Polypropylene market and is the most widely used plastic for packaging and largely used in food packaging applications. The increasing demand for Polypropylene by the automotive industry is expected to boost the Polypropylene market in the forecast period. As polypropylene is a low-cost material with excellent mechanical properties, more than half of the plastic is used in the automotive sector for bumpers, instrumental panels, door trims, etc. Exponentially rising demand for electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EV/HEV) is further propelling the demand for Polypropylene and is likely to augment the market growth in the future. The surging demand for Polypropylene from building & construction and electricals & electronics industries for insulation purposes is expected to accelerate the Polypropylene market over the next few years. The global Polypropylene (PP) market is anticipated to reach approximately 114 million tonnes by 2030.

 

Polypropylene (PP), also known as Polypropene, is a thermoplastic ‘addition’ polymer, produced from the polymerization of propylene monomers. Polypropylene belongs to the group of Polyolefins and is rigid, tough, crystalline, and non-polar in nature. After Polyethylene, Polypropylene is the second-most produced plastic. Polypropylene can be easily copolymerized with other polymers like polyethylene, which changes the material properties significantly, allowing for more robust applications and making it an ideal material for various end-use industries. Polypropylene possesses versatile properties such as high chemical resistance, fatigue resistance, high insulation, high elasticity and toughness, and high transmissivity. 

 

The two major types of Polypropylene available in the market include Homopolymers (PPH) and Copolymers (PPC), which are widely utilized in packaging, healthcare, textiles, pipes, automotive, electrical, and other applications. Polypropylene is an important chemical commodity used in numerous industrial and household applications like the packaging of consumer products and manufacturing of plastic parts for end-user industries. It is extensively used in the manufacturing of plastic moldings, ropes, carpets, rugs, ropes, roofing membranes, electrical insulators, etc. one of the most common applications for PP is as biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP), which are used to make a wide variety of materials including clear bags. 

 

Asia Pacific is the dominating the Polypropylene (PP) market all across the globe. is anticipated to maintain its dominance in the forecast period until 2030. Growing demand for Polypropylene from the packaging and automotive industry, especially in emerging countries such as China, India, and Japan, is anticipated to drive the market in the Asia Pacific region. The rising demand for Polypropylene by the food and beverage industry in countries like U.S., Canada, and Mexico, will boost the Polypropylene market in North America. 

 

Based on the end-user industry, the Polypropylene (PP) market is segmented into sectors like Packaging, Automotive, Infrastructure and Construction, Consumer goods, and Others. Among these, Packaging industry is leading segment and accounted roughly 47% of the share of total Polypropylene (PP) demand in 2022. This industry is anticipated to dominate the global Polypropylene (PP) market owing to the growing demand of ready-to-eat food items in the forthcoming years. 

 

Significant companies for Global Polypropylene (PP) market are Braskem, Reliance Industries Limited, ExxonMobil Chemical, LyondellBasell, Borouge, Shenhua Ningxia Coal Industry, Total Petrochemicals, Prime Polymer Co., Ltd., Indian Oil Corporation Limited, SABIC Europe, Zhejiang Petrochemical, Sinopec KPC PC JV, INEOS, Japan Polypropylene Corporation, Saudi Polyolefins, and Petrochina Dushanzi Petrochemical.
