Market driver: growing demand for hygiene products

Most of the polypropylene nonwoven fabric produced is consumed
for hygiene application. This hygiene application includes product for
babies, adults, and feminine hygiene. The demand for such products is
increasing in the market, and it is anticipated that this demand will
continue to grow during the forecast period. As the concerns about
personal hygiene and product innovations are increasing, the consumption
of hygiene products is also growing. Apart from this, the improvement in
standards of living and the growth in public attention toward health has
paved the way for hygiene products.

According to a senior analyst at Technavio for plastics,
polymers, and elastomers research, “Hygiene products use
fabric based on polypropylene due to its various advantages such as low
weight, low specific gravity, and resistance to bacteria. Therefore, as
there is a growth in the hygiene products market, the consumption of
polypropylene absorbent hygiene is also increasing. This is responsible
for the growing market size of the product.”

Market trend: emergence of bio-based polypropylene

Bio-based polypropylene has entered the market recently, and it has
displayed signs of future potential. As the environmental concerns
regarding the production and use of fossil fuel derived polypropylene
are increasing, there has been a prompt demand for replacement of
synthetic polypropylene. This has given an opportunity for the
development of bio-based polypropylene. The synthetic polypropylene is
usually dependent on the petrochemical prices. This is another factor
that is fueling the demand for bio-based polypropylene. In the initial
years, bio-based polypropylene was derived from sugarcane. It has
observed great success and is expected to get a push during the forecast
period. Many big players in the market are investing heavily in R&D for
manufacturing bio-based polypropylene.

Market challenge: volatile petrochemical prices

Propylene and ethylene are the two major classes of petrochemical raw
materials coming out of refineries. The prices of crude oil, propylene,
and ethylene are inter-dependent. Crude oil prices across the globe
fluctuate according to the varying market demand. Fluctuations in oil
prices affect the price of propylene. Propylene is usually produced by
steam cracking and catalytic reforming processes. It is used as a
monomer in the production of polypropylene.
