Production of transport equipment, building products will also drive gains
Cleveland OH, September 5, 2023 — US demand for polypropylene (PP) resin is forecast to see annual increases of 1.5% in volume terms through 2027, according to
Polypropylene: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Suppliers will benefit from the rising output of food and beverages and the related need for polypropylene packaging, and growing production of transportation equipment parts and building products. Ongoing compounding and processing improvements will enable polypropylene resin to better compete with alternative materials such as other plastic resins and metal. Further advances will be restrained by the ongoing resin lightweighting trend and consumer perception of plastic as an environmentally harmful material. Suppliers of polypropylene resin will continue to face competition from alternative resins such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and bottle-grade polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
In 2023, demand for polypropylene resin is projected to expand 3.3%, amid growing activity in key markets, such as food and beverage production and related packaging requirements, and output of transportation equipment and building products.
