INTRODUCTION
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The goals and objectives of this report are to provide readers with a detailed
view of the U.S. polypropylene resin market from 2008 to 2014, segmented by
major application.
Although polypropylene is classified as a commodity, thermoplastic,
improvements in many properties, a significant part of which is accomplished
via reinforcing agents and polypropylene copolymers, have positioned many
polypropylene grades into the realm of several engineering thermoplastics.
Readers will now be in a position to quantitatively assess the volume and
position of polypropylenes in a wide array of applications in the U.S. as well
as to qualitatively assess their position in the global market.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
There have not been many studies of polypropylene resins published recently
that cover their usage as extensively as this report. The report analyzes
about a dozen key applications, many of which are segmented into further
detail, especially the automotive, medical, healthcare packaging, rigid food
packaging markets, among others. Readers can now better understand why
polypropylene will undergo a wide range of growth patterns in times of general
economic uncertainty. Many of the market estimates and forecasts from this
report could help readers understand the current situation and possibly
forecast the future with a little more certainty.
SCOPE OF REPORT
This report covers several critical areas, in addition to applications, to
provide readers with a comprehensive picture of the broad topic of
polypropylene resins such as: process technologies, properties, copolymers
(both random and impact), reinforced and clear grades, sheet,
biaxially-oriented versions, cast films, injection molded and blow molded
variants, thermoformed versions, producers, pricing, recycling, new
developments and properties, the competitive scenario and current offshore
activities. Broad-based estimates of polypropylene usage in thermoplastic
olefins (TPOs), ethylene-propylene diene monomers (EPDMs) and metallocene
polypropylenes are also provided
METHODOLOGY
Both primary and secondary research methodologies were used in preparing this
report. An exhaustive review of recent literature and older reports was
undertaken followed by detailed research of current events related to the U.S.
polypropylene market. Contacts were made with key companies, trade
associations and magazines for further information/verification. Sales of most
polypropylene grades are protected by producers and key suppliers.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
Polypropylene homo- and copolymers have transitioned into the world of
advanced polymers - a unique quality for commodity thermoplastic. As a result,
this report would especially be of interest to a wide array of those in the
plastics industry, including the following:
- Commodity thermoplastic producers - polypropylene, polyethylene,
polyvinylchloride, polystyrene, etc.
- Plastic film producers
- Food and healthcare packaging companies
- Companies involved in the manufacture of autos, appliances, housewares,
etc.
