The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of global polypropylene is expected to grow to $192.13 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 8.6%. Rising demand for thermoplastic materials has contributed to the growth of the polypropylene market. Due to their unique chemical properties, thermoplastic materials can be recycled and remolded without affecting their physical properties. As a result, thermoplastic materials are far more useful in a wide range of applications, including clothing, packaging, food, and beverages. Additionally, they are also used in heavy-duty applications such as the aerospace, military, and medical industries. According to the American Chemistry Council, the production of plastic resins, which serve as the foundation for all plastic products, climbed 0.9 percent in the United States in 2020, compared to 1.2 percent in 2019.

Major players in the polypropylene market are Lyondellbasell, Sinopec, Sabic, Exxon Mobil, Braskem, PetroChina, Reliance Industries, Formosa Plastics, Borealis, and Asahi Kasei Plastics. Variations in the prices of raw materials such as crude oil have always been a major challenge in the polypropylene market. Fluctuating crude oil prices increase the operating expenses, affecting the bottom lines of manufacturing companies in this market. For instance, according to the ‘Business Standard’, polypropylene became costlier by 4.6% due to rising oil prices. Crude oil is the main source of petrochemicals as plastics are produced primarily from petroleum products. Therefore, crude oil prices are one of the key factors affecting plastic costs, making them very volatile. Volatile prices thereby have a negative impact on the polypropylene market, affecting the market’s growth. Eco-friendly polypropylene compounds are increasingly being used due to strict government rules and regulations over recycling and environmental protection.
