Polypropylene Fiber Market

Polypropylene fiber is primarily manufactured using propylene, a byproduct of petroleum refining and natural gas processing. The fibers have a high tensile strength, are chemically resistant as well as thermally stable, because the raw material undergoes polymerization and extrusion during its conversion to fibers. In terms of cost, polypropylene fiber generally competes quite favorably with other synthetic fabrics such as polyester and nylon given that it is cheap to manufacture and versatile in use. Nevertheless, prices may change depending on the expenses for source materials, production efficiency or market demand; however, polypropylene fiber remains competitively priced among them textiles, carpets, packaging and automotive parts.
• Lucintel forecasts that hygiene and mask will remain the largest end use by value and volume over the forecast period due to its better insulating and lower thermal conductivity properties, and increase use of its in making various hygiene products as a precautionary measure of corona virus.
