Market Dynamics
Introduction
Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer produced by combining propylene monomers with catalysts. As thermoplastic polymers are recyclable, their applications are growing in a wide array of industries such as packaging, automotive, building & construction, electrical & electronics, medical, and others. They are of basically two types i.e. homopolymer and copolymer.
Market Drivers
- Rising Demand from the Packaging Industry: The polypropylene market is expanding due to increasing packaging demand for food and beverages, as well as its moisture barrier properties, making it ideal for food and beverage packaging and automobile manufacturing due to its ease of processability and stiffness.
- Rising Demand from the Manufacturing Industry: Polypropene's high durability and flexibility make it a promising material for the agricultural sector, with increasing demand for tools like drippers and microtubes driving growth.
- Rising demand from the Industrial Industry: Polypropylene's high rigidity and transparency properties, particularly in packaging electrical spares and parts, are expected to boost its demand across various industries due to its efficient properties.
