Global Polypropylene Random Copolymer Market Definition

Polypropylene (PP), also known as polypropene, is a thermoplastic resin which is used in a wide variety of applications and is manufactured through the polymerization of propylene and ethylene. The physical properties of polypropylene are altered when ethylene is added. Ethylene molecules make up roughly 1 to 7 percent of random copolymer polypropylene, while propylene molecules make up 93 to 99 percent. It is partially crystalline, tough, rigid, non-polar, and has a high chemical resistance.

It also offers good thermal and mechanical properties which is why it is one of the most widely produced and cheapest plastics available today. It has applications both as a plastic and fiber and is commonly used in packaging, labelling, textiles, stationery, laboratory equipment, plastic parts and reusable containers, polymer banknotes, and automotive components.

Global Polypropylene Random Copolymer Market Overview

Increasing usage of Polypropylene Random Copolymer in various sectors such as the automotive industry, furniture market, and consumer goods is a major growth driver for Polypropylene Random Copolymer Market. The increase in consumer per capita disposable income, which influences the demand for packed and processed food, has also positively contributed to this market. Furthermore, a surge in demand for high clarity and high transparency packaging and labelling has triggered the demand of these thermoplastic resins. The market is growing due to increased knowledge of the benefits of polypropylene random copolymer, which include great impact resistance, superior flexibility and optical properties, transparency, gloss, and lightweight. Its range of applications is growing as a result of its advantages. The market is also being boosted by the expanding number of supermarkets in emerging markets.

Furthermore, the market's growth is aided by food producers' shifting attention toward attractive packaging and labelling, as well as increased durability. For the synthesis of polypropylene random copolymer, ethylene and naphtha are used as primary raw materials. Even though it has many key drivers but there are a few restraints which can affect the growth of this market. However, the availability of other substitutes providing stiff competition to polypropylene has been a major restraint for this market along with the disposal of plastics and their impact on the environment. Additionally, the increasing trend of plastic recycling has also been of major concern.

Global Polypropylene Random Copolymer Market: Segmentation Analysis

The Global Polypropylene Random Copolymer Market is segmented into Type, By End Use, And Geography.

Polypropylene Random Copolymer Market, By Type

• Homopolymer
• Copolymer
• Others

Based on Type, the market is bifurcated into Homopolymer, Copolymer and Others. Homopolymers are the dominant segment and held the largest market share as Homopolymers have higher optical qualities, such as increased clarity and reduced haze, increased flexibility, improved impact resistance, and a lower melting point, which results in a lower heat-sealing temperature.

Polypropylene Random Copolymer Market, By End-Use

• Packaging
• Building & Construction
• Healthcare
• Others

Based on End-Use, the market is bifurcated into Packaging, Building & Construction, Healthcare, and Others. Packaging is the dominant segment of the market. The market for this segment is being boosted by rising product demand across packaging applications, owing to its better transparency and thermal resistance. Furthermore, an increase in the global working population has resulted in increased demand for packaged foods, which is expected to fuel business growth.

Polypropylene Random Copolymer Market, By Geography

• North America
• Europe
• Asia Pacific
• Rest of the World
• On the basis of Geography, the Global Polypropylene Random Copolymer Market is classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the world. The Asia Pacific is the dominant region for the market because of changing lifestyles as customers gravitate toward ready-to-eat and packaged food, demand for polypropylene random copolymer was high in the Asia Pacific, primarily for food containers.
