Given continued market volatility, the hunt for sustainability, the conflict in Ukraine, logistics challenges, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is essential that PP suppliers get a balanced view of the market and its prospects with clear evidential analysis. The report splits demand by process, by detailed application and by country to give a granular view of where the market is strongest and where growth is faltering.

Technical developments mean suppliers are capable of building new and speciality properties, but what is the role and potential for these attributes? Producers need to understand drivers, application by application, and to have a strong sense of how to identify unmet needs. In this study we provide a multi-polymer perspective, by application-segment, and discusses the potential for PP to displace alternative polymers (and vice versa).
