Polypropylene Compound Market

To enhance the properties of polypropylene resin, PP compound or polypropylene compound is generally prepared by blending it with various fillers and additives. The base polymer in this case is usually polypropylene resin, which is often used in the presence of stabilizers, reinforcements (e.g., glass fiber), fillers (like talc or calcium carbonate), colorants, and processing aids. These are combined into specific formulations that allow them to possess some required features such as strength, rigidity, toughness and heat resistance. The price of PP compound fluctuates depending on factors like quality of raw materials used, manufacturing processes and market competition. Consequently premium PP compounds usually contain specified additives while others have excellent performance attributes hence attracting higher prices than normal grades. Pricing strategy for competitive purposes depends on market dynamics such as fluctuations in supply and demand costs for raw material inputs and rival pressures from similar polymer composites other than these ones having same functions.
  • Lucintel forecasts that automotive will remain the largest end use segment due to the increasing production of automotive production and growing use of composite materials for weight reduction, which helps in better fuel economy, better vehicle performance, and reduced emissions.
  • Impact polymer will remain the largest segment over the forecast period because it offers tougher material and excellent impact strength at high as well as low temperature.
  • APAC is expected to remain the largest market and it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to increases in production and consumption of film and sheet products.
