Application - Segment Analysis

Textile and fabrics industry have shown highest CAGR of around 5.5% in global polypropylene fabrics market during the forecast period. Polypropylene fabrics are used to manufacture baby diapers, surgical gloves, and sanitary products in healthcare industry. Additionally, they are used in hernia and pelvic organ prolapse operation in order to prevent infections. Durability and cost effectiveness as compared to natural fibers like jute and cotton is likely to aid the growth of polypropylene fiber market.

The outbreak of coronavirus has badly impacted the polypropylene fiber market. It has disrupted the supply chain all over the world. Manufacturing industries have stopped their production units. Decrease in purchasing capital has directly impacted the automotive, and textile industries which in turn affected the growth of global polypropylene fibers market. According to the Society of India Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), passenger vehicle sales declined by 51% to 143,014 units in March 2020 whereas the sales of commercial vehicles crashed by 88%. Furthermore, decrease in construction activities due to lockdown has also hampered the growth of global polypropylene fibers market.

Geography- Segment Analysis

APAC dominated the global polypropylene fibers market with a share of more than 35%, followed by North America and Europe. Growing construction activities and rise in disposal income are propelling the growth of polypropylene market in developing nations. According to trade map 367,415 tons of staple polypropylene fibers were imported worldwide in 2018. Advancement of construction activities and use of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete in earthquake prone countries like China, Japan and Indonesia is accelerating the growth of polypropylene fibers market. Polypropylene fibers are used to enhance the flexural tensile strength and post cracking ductile behavior of concrete. Additionally, huge demands of automobile and fabrics has also fueled the polypropylene market in this region.

Drivers –Global Polypropylene Fibers Market

Challenges – Global Polypropylene Fibers Market

Flammability, environmental impact and government regulations on polypropylene fibers

Polypropylene fibers has low melting point and catches fires easily. Due to their ease of catching fire, they are avoided in many applications of apparels and household industries. Polypropylene fibers are chemical as well as microbial resistant and their disposal is a major concern. Disposal of polypropylene fibers has adverse effects on environment and human health as they pollute soil and decreases its fertility. Moreover, government regulations to minimize the use of polypropylene fibers, and focus towards sustainability is retarding the growth of global polypropylene market.

Market Landscape

Technology launches, acquisitions and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the polypropylene fibers market report. Major players in the polypropylene fibers market are International Fibers Group, Zenith Fibers Ltd., W. Barnet GmbH & Co. KG, E.I. du Pont De Nemours and Company, Freudenberg& Co. KG, Pioneer Scientific Industry (Nanjing) Co. Ltd., Belgian Fibers, ABC Polymer Industries, LLC and SIKA, among others.

Acquisitions/Technology Launches

In September 2019, International Fibres Group has invested around 1.3 million euros in a new R&D plant in Austria to develop innovative products that meet environmental goals in terms of sustainability and recyclability.

In November 2018, Sika has acquired the global Concrete Fibers business from Propex Holding, LLC. The deal includes a US plant manufacturing synthetic fibers for use in concrete reinforcement and sales operations in Sika’s three geographical regions.

In September 2016, Sika has acquired FRC Industries. The acquisition led them to expand their footprints in U.S and strengthen their business.

Key Takeaways

China dominates the global polypropylene fibers market owing to increasing demand from applications such as automotive and textile industries.

The growing popularity of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete to encounter the brittle behavior of concrete in seismic zones is likely to aid in the growth of polypropylene fibers size during the forecast period.

Increasing adoption of sustainable and environment friendly products, implementation of stringent government regulations related to their disposal will act as a restrains for the growth of polypropylene fibers industry.
