Why Does Automotive Industry Require Polypropylene?

PlasticsEurope estimates the global plastic production in 2018 at 359 million tons, of which polypropylene (PP) accounted for 19.3%, the largest share. This highly versatile plastic is used for manufacturing lightweight sports equipment, tote bags, cold- and hot-weather clothing, flip-flops, surgical sutures, medical tools, containers, and equipment; domestic-use products, toys, and even furniture. Such a wide application base of PP is owed to its wear & tear, heat, oil & solvent, microbe, and water resistance and a high melting point.

As per P&S Intelligence, due to such an expansive usage base of PP, the polypropylene market will likely grow from $122.7 billion in 2019 to $226.8 billion in 2030, at a 5.7% CAGR during 2020–2030 (forecast period). Apart from those mentioned above, a prominent application area of PP is in flexible and rigid packaging, the demand for which is growing with the booming population. In addition, the increasing number of one-person households, rapid urbanization, busy schedules, and rising demand for wellness and health products is pushing up the demand for packaging.

In 2019, Asia-Pacific dominated the polypropylene market, and it is also expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. This is attributed to the increasing number of manufacturing plants and advancements in rigid and flexible packaging materials. Due to the expanding end-use industries, such as consumer & institutional, packaging, furniture & furnishings, transportation, machinery, building & construction, and electrical & electronics, regional PP producers, including Reliance Industries Limited, China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation, and PetroChina Company Limited, are prospering.

Hence, as the rising population pushes up the demand for plastic products, the consumption of PP will continue to surge across the globe.
