Key Trends and Developments

Increasing use in the automotive sector; expansion of the packaging sector; growing medical applications of polypropylene; and increasing recycling activities are impacting the polypropylene market growth

 

Date Company Event
Jan 2024 LyondellBasell The company agreed to acquire 35% interest in Saudi Arabia–based National Petrochemical Industrial Company (NATPET) from Alujain Corporation (Alujain) for an amount of USD 500 million.
Dec 2023 Nayara Energy The company announced it will start the operations of polypropylene plant in H1 2024, marking the company’s entry into the sector.
Oct 2023 LyondellBasell LyondellBasell announced the launch of cutting-edge translucent polypropylene compounds featuring visual effects, UV resistance, and durability.
Nov 2022 Lummus Technology The company announced the launch of the Novolen PPure™ polypropylene (PP) portfolio, a new grade range of polymers fit for producing automotive, healthcare components, and food packaging materials.

 

 

Trends Impact
Growing demand for natural polypropylene in the automotive sector With increasing concerns about the economy and environment, lightweight materials in the automotive industry have become a priority. This is because fuel usage can be reduced by around 5-7% by reducing the vehicle weight by 10%. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for more lightweight and environmentally friendly cars, made up of polypropylene.
Rising medical applications The ability of polypropylene to handle stringent sterilisation procedures makes them suitable for use in medical applications. Polypropylene is used in the manufacturing of medical devices and also for the packaging of drugs. Thus, the increasing demand for disposable syringes, pharmacy prescription bottles, membranes for membrane oxygenators, and reusable plastic containers, positively influence the demand for polypropylene.
Investments and partnerships for recycling polypropylene The recyclable nature of polypropylene is providing opportunities to the market. The market is also witnessing investments and partnerships for the recycling of polypropylene.
Rising demand for packaging materials The flexibility and low-cost nature of polypropylene made it replace conventional materials like paper and cellophane in various packaging forms. The increasing demand for jars, yoghurt containers, hot beverage cups, and food packing is likely to create growth opportunities for the market players.

 

Global Polypropylene Market Trends

As polypropylene has excellent mechanical properties, high heat resistance, malleability, and high impact resistance, its demand in the manufacturing of automobiles is growing and providing impetus to the growth of the market. The environmental norms also favour the rise in the use of polypropylene in auto parts and under-the-hood applications. The growing demand for injection moulding is boosting polypropylene consumption in the auto sector, where it is used for reducing vehicle cost and weight. Continuous advancements will aid in the exposure towards low-weight vehicles, boosting polypropylene use in the automobile segment.

 

The growth in the application of polypropylene in caps and closure is providing further impetus to the market growth in North America and Europe. The demand for caps and closures is predicted to be dominated by the huge demand from the pharmaceutical sector and beverage industry.

Market Segmentation

“Global Polypropylene Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032” offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:

 

Market Breakup Categories
Application Injection Moulding, Fibre, Film, Blow Moulding, Extrusion Coating, Other Extrusion, Others
End-Use Packaging, Automotive, Agriculture, Others
Region North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa

 

Based on application, injection moulding accounts for most of the polypropylene market share

The injection moulding applications of polypropylene find extensive use in the healthcare, packaging, and household product manufacturing sectors. The increasing demand for polypropylene as a cost-effective medical-grade plastic material has been contributing to the injection moulding applications.

 

Polypropylene fibres are added to concrete to improve resistance, enhance tensile strength, and augment durability. In the infrastructure segment, polypropylene fibres find applications in special mortars, precast concrete, roads, tunnels, high-performance concrete, and industrial pavements, among others. The expansion of the infrastructure sector hence contributes to the demand for fibre.

 

The growing demand for consumer-friendly, long shelf life, and green packaging, among other features, is expected to increase the extrusion coating application of polypropylene.

 

By end use, the packaging sector accounts for a significant share of the global polypropylene market

Owing to their durability and easy-to-handle properties, PP woven bags are used for the transportation of products to avoid wastage.

 

Propylene-based agricultural packaging prevents food spoilage and wastage. In addition to packing food products, PP woven bags are prevalent in the packaging of fertilisers and pesticides as well. Further, the moisture control properties of polypropylene prevent mould build-up in packaged foods, thereby saving agricultural costs.
