Polypropylene silk factory for you to analyze the polypropylene market development prospects

As a rising star of synthetic fibers, polypropylene is developing rapidly. Since the 1980s, the world's polypropylene production has grown at an average annual rate of more than 9, much higher than the growth rate of 7.3 polyester and 4.6 synthetic fiber in the same period. Affected by the world financial crisis, the growth rate of synthetic fiber has slowed down significantly, but the average annual growth rate of polypropylene production is still maintained at 5.5, and the demand for polypropylene has basically maintained this growth trend.

According to U.S. department statistics, the current annual production capacity and output of the world's polypropylene are about 5.6 million and 5 million, respectively, of which the capacity and output of spinning fibers are about 4 million and 3.3 million, respectively. It is expected that by the end of 2001, the polyolefin fiber production capacity will reach nearly 7 million, of which the spinning fiber production capacity is about 4.5 million. According to analysis, the rapid development of polypropylene production is mainly driven by the growth of demand, and the growth rate of production and demand is basically the same. The current demand for polypropylene, including membrane cracked fibers, is about 5 million/year, and after removing membrane cracked fibers, the demand for polypropylene is 3.3 million to 3.5 million.

From the perspective of the market distribution of polypropylene, the application distribution proportion of the world's polypropylene (excluding film cracked fibers) is basically about 45 carpet production, about 40 industrial and health fields, 12 decorative amounts, and 3 clothing amounts. The main application field of polypropylene in developed countries is the carpet industry and industrial field, such as the United States carpet with polypropylene accounted for about 60 of the total consumption of polypropylene (of which the use of polypropylene carpet for vehicles is larger), industrial and medical accounts for 35, daily use accounts for 4, clothing consumption is very small; The amount of carpet, industry and decoration in Western Europe accounted for 95 percent of the amount of polypropylene, and the amount of clothing accounted for 4 percent. Asian countries and regions with faster economic growth, although the production of polypropylene fiber started late, but the rapid development, especially the large population in Asia, the demand in the field of health is large, and the consumption and consumption proportion of non-woven fabrics for health is much higher than that of European and American countries.

Relevant experts believe that the future polypropylene market will further expand rapidly, especially in the field of non-woven fabrics (mainly industrial, medical and engineering). At the same time, with the development of polypropylene modification technology, polypropylene is also replacing other synthetic fiber varieties in some textile fields, such as C has low cost, easy processing, good hydrophobicity, so that it has begun to occupy a place in the original acrylic and polyester cotton and wool textile market, and there is a trend of expansion. In addition, polypropylene can be modified or combined with other fibers to process carpets, and then compete with nylon.

It is expected that in the next 10 years, the development of the world's polypropylene will still be higher than other synthetic fibers, and the growth rate of capacity will slow down, but it will also remain at about 4, and the growth rate of production and demand will be about 5. In addition to the rapid rise of the petrochemical industry in East Asia, Southeast Asia and other regions continue to grow, the rapid rise of the petrochemical industry in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other regions will also become new rapid growth areas. At that time, the world's polypropylene production capacity, output and demand, excluding membrane cracked fibers, will exceed membrane fiber and nylon.
