Polypropylene Random Copolymer Market Dynamics

In the forecast years, rising demand for food containers is expected to boost the global polypropylene random copolymer market. Moreover, increased syringe demand for injectable medications will likely enhance the polypropylene random copolymer market throughout the forecast period. Furthermore, from 2015 through 2023, the beverage industry is expected to provide significant prospects for polypropylene random copolymer manufacturers. Due to its lightweight and clarity, polypropylene random copolymer is expected to replace the glass.

 

Polypropylene random copolymer is mostly used in the packaging industry. Transparency, rigidity, organoleptic characteristics, sealability, and heat resistance make polypropylene random copolymer one of the most effective food and beverage packaging materials. Polypropylene random copolymer is primarily utilized in large-scale food and storage container packaging. The healthcare business is the second-largest user of polypropylene random copolymer, which is used in syringes, labware, and bottles. Special grades of polypropylene random copolymer have been introduced for medical uses by large multinational corporations. It is mostly utilized in the construction industry for hot and cold water pipes. Hot and cold water pipes, VCD cases, toys, gearboxes, and other items are made of polypropylene random copolymer. Specimen cups, syrup bottles, IV bags, pouches, and tubes are all made from polypropylene random copolymer. Media packaging, toys, sports, furniture, automotive, and household appliances are among other applications of polypropylene random copolymer.

 

Segmental Analysis 

How does the potential demand for blow molding impact Polypropylene Random Copolymer Market?

Blow molding and extrusion processes produce transparent bottles and containers, extruded sheets and profiles, thermoformed packaging, and stationery products. Bottles with high mechanical stiffness, high productivity, and excellent surface finishing are also required for blow-molded packaging for dairy beverages. Blow molding or injection stretch blow molding technologies are used in various industries, including the food sector, technical parts, and cosmetics.

 

Why is packaging as an end-use industry seen as an attractive segment?

Random copolymer PP has the highest transparency and the lowest HDT of any polymer. It is the most flexible product available and has a reasonable impact strength. Due to its better transparency and thermal resistance, rising product demand across packaging applications will drive industry expansion. Furthermore, an increase in the global working population has fueled demand for packaged foods, which has been analyzed to stimulate corporate growth.

 

Regional Analysis 

Asia-Pacific accounted for the greatest share of the polypropylene random copolymer market due to changing lifestyles as customers steadily turn toward ready-to-eat and packaged food, primarily for food containers. The emergence of a middle class in China and India would also be instrumental factors in driving total growth. The regional economy is also fueled by a thriving food and beverage industry, which has resulted in increased commercial packaging applications.

 

In terms of revenue, Europe is the second-largest market for polypropylene random copolymer. This is due to the rise in the packaging sector, particularly in Russia. North America’s thriving healthcare business will also likely fuel demand for polypropylene random polymer. In addition, disposable syringes and labware are frequently made with polypropylene random polymer. As a result, the region is experiencing growth.

 

Competitive Landscape

Key players in the global polypropylene random copolymer market are focusing on continuous product innovation and expansion to improve their market position. For instance, in January 2022, SABIC introduced LNPTM ELCRINTM EXL7414B copolymer, the company’s first bio-based polycarbonate (PC) copolymer, to help the consumer electronics industry achieve its net-zero carbon emission goals. The new copolymer is the first in a growing collection to be awarded the ISCC+ (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification Plus) certification.

 

The polypropylene random copolymer market is seen as a consolidated market, backed by tier-1 players in the market who accounts for more than 50% of the global revenue. However, the emergence of new players is expected to further result in the distribution of market share at the regional level. Prominent players in the market include SCG Chemicals, China Petrochemical, Borealis, MOL GROUP, HYOSUNG, Indian Oil Corporation, Braskem, Petro Plus, LyondellBasell Industries Holdings, Lotte Chemical Corporation, SABIC, Formosa Plastics, Exxon Mobil and Japan Polypropylene Corporation.

 

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has not only resulted in halted production activity but has also disrupted the global supply chain. It has wreaked havoc on the worldwide economy, causing significant disruption in all of the regions where key corporations, their suppliers, distributors, business partners, and customers operate. COVID-19 has moderately harmed the polypropylene random copolymer market in the face of lockdowns and social isolation.

 

COVID-19 affected the supply of propylene random copolymer as demand for oil products such as gasoline and polymers dropped. As a result, crude oil prices plummeted, entering the negative zone, due to a collapse in demand and a shortage of storage capacity for excess supply. Furthermore, operating rates have been reduced due to a decline in industrial activity in several industries and greater limits due to lockdown.

 

This has harmed the pricing of these products in Europe, as well as the growth of the market. On the other side, increased demand for processed goods due to the pandemic increased PP used in the packaging industry. In addition, alternative production movements based on polymers evolved due to the pandemic’s reduction in medical-hospital supplies and personal protective equipment for health professionals and the general public.
