Global Polypropylene Market: Highlights
·
The
global polypropylene market is projected to
grow at a CAGR of more than 5.5% between 2019 and 2027. The
substantial growth from packaging and construction industry is anticipated to
drive global polypropylene market during the forecast period.
·
Polypropylene
possesses beneficial properties such as high surface hardness, good tensile
strength, and strong chemical resistance. Hence, it is one of the most
versatile polymers used in packaging, automobile, construction, electrical
& electronics, and medical industries.
·
The
largest buyers of polypropylene resins are plastic convertors or OEMs. However,
most polymer manufacturers are vertically integrated and captively consume
polypropylene for conversion into sheets, films, etc.
·
Increasing
concern about adverse effects of plastics on the environment and volatile raw
material prices are likely to restrain growth of the polypropylene market.
Polypropylene manufacturers are shifting their focus toward biobased
polypropylene and are likely to provide significant opportunities by 2027.
·
Various
grades available commercially for polypropylene include homopolymers, block
copolymers and random copolymers. Random copolymers have lower melting point
and offer more flexibility and optical clarity. Homopolymers are widely used
polymers especially for automobile parts, textiles, pipes, electrical
appliances, etc.

Global Polypropylene Market:
Segmental Trends
·
In
terms of volume, packaging was the largest and fastest-growing segment of the
global polypropylene market, accounting for more than 45% share
in 2018. Polypropylene
has distinguished utilities in both flexible and rigid packaging due to its
ability to resist strong chemicals and high temperature. It has good barrier to
moisture, odors and gases. Hence, widely used on food packaging especially for
snack foods, dried foods, etc.
·
Medical
packaging is one of the major segments of polypropylene market. It has several
applications in medical devices and packaging. Owing to sterilization and
transparent processes polypropylene is projected to boost market growth in the
coming years.
·
Automotive
accounted for second largest share in global polypropylene market in 2018. Robust
demand for lightweight motor vehicles in emerging as well as developed regions
is estimated to accelerate growth of the polypropylene market. Polypropylene is
lightweight and offers optimal balance of mechanical properties and excellent
surface finish to vehicles. Hence, it easily replaces metal. Polypropylene is
15% to 20% lighter than other plastics. Thus, it considerably reduces the
overall weight of vehicles. This, in turn, reduces fuel consumption and carbon
dioxide emissions. It is mainly used in the manufacturing of bumpers, cladding,
car batteries and interior elements.
·
Polypropylene
also finds wide application in fashion and sports industry. It has resistance
to environmental factors such as mold, bacteria, water and sun. It is used in
sports equipment, clothes, outdoor appliances, etc.
