“Asia Pacific is also projected to be the fastest growing market for PP…”   
- Global Industry Analysts Press Release, Dec 2007

The rapid development of Asia’s economy is eye-catching in the world. There is absolute confidence in the sustainable development of Asia’s economy due to the steady economic growth of China and India and emergence of a thriving Southeast Asia. In such a situation, the Asian Polyolefins Industry will definitely flourish, full of opportunities and challenges.

Global Consumption of Polypropylene (PP) is expected to witness healthy growth rate and cross 51 million metric tons by 2010. The resin is expected to evolve as one of the leading polyolefins in the near future. In order to increase market competitiveness, global PP producers build plants in Asia successively and set various development strategies.

How would the record highs of crude oil prices affect the production & trade of PP?
Mid East is transforming itself from net importer of PP into a major exporter, how would this impact Asia’s PP industry? China remains to be the primary export destination with the highest demand for PP, more refineries and PP plants had been planned till 2010, will it ever reach self-sufficiency?
