"Will Propylene Continue "Dealing With Higher
According to Townsend Polymers, the consumption of Polypropylene in Central/Eastern Europe bounced back with an amazing growth of 21.5% last year, on account of higher domestic and export demand for plastic products, following a decline of -7.1% 2 years ago. Strong GDP growth averaging 4.1%/year is projected for the next five years. This growth ise supported by ongoing industrialization and infrastructure development as well as strong demand growth in consumer products and Russia's huge investments in new oriented PP film lines.
"The massive Russian conglomerate Sibur Holding JSC is progressing with construction of a previously announced $2 billion petrochemical complex in Siberia that by early 2013 will triple its polypropylene homopolymer production capacity, with much of that output targeted for export to China... Sibur is planning another PP plant - this one with 441 million pounds for copolymers - in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, that is due to come on stream in 2014 or 2015"
In terms of capacity, several new PP plants have been brought on-stream in this region over the past few years and six new plants are currently being planned for the region and are scheduled to come on-stream in the coming 4 years. New plants are planned for Russia, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. With these capacity additions, how will it impact on trade patterns in the region?
The emergence of shale gas in the US has changed the feedstock dynamics, reducing propylene production in crackers by more than 50%. It also has tightened supplies of crude-C4s and butadiene in the US. With light feedstocks expected to dominate cracking economics in the US for the foreseeable future, butadiene, propylene, and polypropylene consumers could be faced with high-priced material and product shortage. How can PP producers secure competitive feedstock in the future?

Polypropylene is one of the most versatile of the bulk polymers due to a combination of good mechanical and chemical properties. Its applications are very wide and substituting many other polymers in terms of applications. Investors are expanding plants or building new capacities worldwide, targeting growth region in Asia & Europe.
Strong Polypropylene demand especially in China is encouraging producers to increase their capacities. With margin pressure being a chief problem lately, PP producers are trying their best to “claw the margin back".
