Polypropylene Market Current Scenario Trends, Comprehensive Analysis and Regional Forecast to 2030
The COVID-19 induced subdued
momentum, especially in construction and automotive sectors, is likely to hurt
the interests of polypropylene market stakeholders in the short run,
opines a new study by Future Market Insights (FMI) Revising its market forecast
to negative 2.1% (volume) for 2022, the ESOMAR-certified market research and
consulting firm remains bullish on the long-term prospects of the market.
According to the study, “despite a bearish rally for polypropylene over
the last three months, a more positive outlook for oil will pave way for
brighter polypropylene settlements in the near term.”
Polypropylene demand decline has been more pervasive vis-à-vis its other
plastic variants in automotive and this will continue till resumption of manufacturing
operations. However, high sales of spun-bound and meltblown polypropylene
grades in the production of PPE and masks can offset some of the losses, opines
FMI’s new study.
Key Takeaways of Global Polypropylene Market Study
· Polypropylene, being 20%-25% lighter than conventional plastic variants will witness robust demand in lightweight automotive category in the long run
· With crude oil
prices moving well below the US$ 30 per barrel, low purchase costs of feedstock
such as propylene will offer lifelines to polypropylene manufacturers
· Innovations in
polypropylene packaging solutions continue to offer material savings to
manufacturers up to 60%
· Superior Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) additives for optimizing feedstock yields of propylene are set to expand profit pools of refineries thus having a positive impact on overall growth of polypropylene market
Competitive Landscape of Polypropylene Market
Borealis, one of the key players has been continuously extending support
to all its partners in the polypropylene value chain to make the shift to
polypropylene solutions that are viable in sustainable packaging.
Both Sabic and BASF have engineered newer processes to recycle
polypropylene from a low-value, low-quality plastic to a pre-consumer plastic
that can be effectively used in a number of food packaging applications. BASF
has also collaborated with Jaguar to convert plastic waste into high-end
automotive parts.
SCG has come out with a technology called as SMX that minimizes the
utilization of plastic and paves way for applications in film packaging and
chemical drums with more impact resistance and perforation.
Lucrative Market Conditions in China
and India Make East Asia a Regional Goliath
East Asia’s prominence in the polypropylene market is likely to continue
unabated owing to its fast growing automotive and construction sectors.
Another key factor driving growth of polypropylene market in East Asia
is the focus of manufacturers on customization of product portfolio as per
specific applications. In East Asia, polypropylene is being prominently used in
BOPP film, injection moldings, and Raffia/Thermoforming.
With viral epicenters having shifted to countries such as India, demand
for polypropylene grades is robust in packaging and medical applications.
Production appetite for bottle caps and closures in medical, hygiene and
pharmaceutical applications has led to significant improvements in the demand
outlook for East Asia
