- Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer that is widely used in various applications due to its versatility, durability, and resistance to many chemical solvents, acids, and bases. It is a type of plastic that can be molded or extruded into a wide range of products, including packaging, textiles, stationery, automotive components, and household goods
- The escalating demand for polypropylene is primarily fueled by rapid industrialization, increasing use of plastic packaging in food and consumer products, and a growing shift toward sustainable, recyclable materials across global manufacturing and supply chains
- China dominated the Asia-Pacific polypropylene market with a share of 14.9% in 2024, due to its massive manufacturing base, extensive plastic processing industry, and high demand across packaging, automotive, and construction sectors
- India is expected to be the fastest growing country in the polypropylene market during the forecast period due to rapid industrialization, urban expansion, and rising consumption across packaging, textiles, and infrastructure
- Homopolymer segment dominated the market with a market share of 80.5% in 2024, due to its widespread use in packaging, textiles, and automotive applications. Its high tensile strength, rigidity, and superior chemical resistance make it a preferred material across various cost-sensitive, high-volume applications. Homopolymers are extensively used for producing containers, caps, housewares, and fibers owing to their high strength-to-weight ratio
