Polypropylene Powder market size, share & industry analysis, By Type (Extrude Grade, General Grade, Coated Grade, Spinning Grade), By Application (Plastic Woven Industry, Homopolymer Injection Products, Fiber Products, Others) and regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer produced by the process of chain polymerization from monomer propylene. It is partially crystalline and non-polar olefin. It is similar to polyethylene but harder and enhanced heat resistance. It has high chemical resistance and is second most used commodity plastic after polyethylene. Polypropylene powder is white in colour and is used in paints and coatings, commodity products, autoclaves for instruments in labs, and other applications.

Increasing demand from electronics, paints and coatings and general manufacturing companies for insulative coatings, autoclaves, sheet form packaging materials, raincoats, spray bottles, raincoats, plastic folders, and others is likely to foster the market growth. additionally, increasing demand for packaging containers from food and beverages industry is driving the market.

However, the disposal of microplastic formed due to wear and tear of the product is likely to hamper the market growth.

Market Segmentation:

Based on type, the market is segmented into extrude grade, general grade, coated grade, and spinning grade. Based on application, the market is segmented into plastic woven industries, homopolymer injection products, fiber products and others.
