The polypropylene market has been steadily growing and outperforming all the other segments in Russia’s plastics industry. PP producers are building up output volumes and significantly expanding the product assortment in line with converters’ demand. However, certain grades continue to be in shortage, and that’s where the import from Europe remains significant. Will Russian plastics producers be able to cover consumption in converting with quality feedstock? How long will it take?
Despite the general economic downturn and lower purchasing activity, the demand for polypropylene has recovered. PP consumption in Russia has exceeded 1 million tons, while it was just under 800 kt in 2010. The experts are forecasting the trend to persist.
In addition, there is a broad trend in the market as polypropylene replaces other plastics like polystyrene, ABS and PVC across various applications, which opens up new horizons to polypropylene converters. Will this become a new point of growth, and shall we face redistribution of markets? Which consumption segments should the industry bet on? Do the market participants need additional support measures?
