The global Polypropylene (PP) market stood at approximately 70 million tonnes in 2021 and is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 5.48% 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 110 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 more than 45% of the share of total Polypropylene (PP) demand in 2021. 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.
