(PharmaNewsWire.Com, February 26, 2020 ) The report "Polypropylene Market by Type (Homopolymer, Copolymer), Application (Injection Molding, Fiber & Raffia, Film & Sheet, and Blow Molding), End-Use Industry (Packaging, Automotive, Building & Construction, Medical), and Region - Global Forecast to 2022", The polypropylene market is estimated at USD 75.40 Billion in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 99.17 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 5.6% between 2017 and 2022. Properties of polypropylene, such as low density, light weight, high heat resistance, durability, and high clarity make it a suitable material for packaging. Polypropylene is also used in building & construction and electricals & electronics to insulate building wraps and electronics goods.
Homopolymer type estimated to be the largest type of polypropylene during the forecast period
Homopolymer provides a high strength to weight ratio and is stiffer than copolymer. The excellent chemical resistance and weldability enable the use of the polypropylene homopolymer for many corrosion resistant structures. The common applications of the polypropylene homopolymer are orthotic and prosthetic devices, secondary containments, pump components, and storage tanks.
Blow molding is projected to be the fastest-growing application of polypropylene during the forecast period
Consumption of polypropylene in the blow molding application is growing due to the rising demand for packaged food and beverages in emerging countries. Polypropylene is majorly used in the blow molding application due to its ability to withstand elevated temperatures, and it can be easily stream sterilized and has a high melting point. The common applications include water bottles, shampoo bottles, and lubricant/pesticide containers.
Medical is projected to be the fastest-growing end-use industry of the polypropylene market during the forecast period
Polypropylene has a good mixture of heat resistance and structural properties of polycarbonate, impact resistance of polyester, radiation resistance of polystyrene or Polyethylene (PE), and flexibility or soft feel of flexible polyvinyl chloride. It is highly resistant to cleaning agents, disinfectants, and various solvents which makes it suitable for surgical trays, caddies, and other medical devices. The largest application of polypropylene in medical devices is syringes.
