MARKET ANALYSIS

Polypropylene fiber is a kind of linear polymer synthetic fiber obtained from propylene polymerization. It has few advantages such as light weight, high strength, high toughness, and corrosion resistance. The polypropylene fiber is widely used in chemical industry, energy, clothing, environmental protection, and construction. Polypropylene fiber is a set of synthetic fiber consisting of certain features which make them highly preferable to construction materials, especially when concrete is required. Polypropylene fibers are usually made up of either continuous or discontinuous fiber arranged on a plastic matrix and used as a reinforcement material. 

GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES

The growing demand for polypropylene fiber in the end use industries such as textile and construction has aided the polypropylene fiber market growth. Concrete is the widely used construction material in the world and is increasingly used to achieve more sustainable buildings, some of which are constructed using polypropylene fiber. Polypropylene is often added to the cement matrix to improve the resistance of concrete. Fiber reinforced concrete is much more durable due to an enhanced tensile strength and less likely to crack when compared to plain concrete. The construction industry in various countries across the globe is rapidly growing. Rise in government investments and increase in demand for residential constructions are propelling the growth of the construction industry. Further, European countries are creating and strengthening their infrastructure by enacting reforms and legislation, which drives the growth of the real estate and infrastructure industries. According to the European Construction Industry Federation, the volume of permits for new buildings (excluding civil engineering) in Germany was US$ 130 billion in 2021, 8% more than 2020. In North America, the construction industry is one of the significant contributors to the region's economy. According to the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), the US construction industry constructs structures worth US$ 1.8 trillion each year. The rise in construction activities due to the increasing population and rapidly growing commercial sector across the region are driving the construction sector in North America. In November 2021, the US government approved a US$ 1.2 trillion infrastructure bill to aid federal investments in various infrastructure projects. Also, construction spending is expected to increase by 5.5% by 2023. Such initiatives generate demand for construction services, equipment, and materials. The governments and regulatory authorities in the Asia Pacific are focusing on additional infrastructure investment. In India, the growth in construction activities is driven by growing industrialization, increasing population, growing middle-class income, and increasing infrastructure development. According to the National Investment Promotion & Facilitation Agency (India), the Indian construction industry is projected to reach US$ 1.4 trillion by 2025. Moreover, the government of India initiatives such as Housing for All, Smart Cities Mission and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is projected to boost the demand for building materials in India. Thus, the growing construction activities in several regions across the globe creates an enormous demand for polypropylene fiber. Further, polypropylene fiber is an essential fiber in nonwoven processing and dominates in many nonwoven markets. The main application areas of polypropylene fiber in textile includes nonwoven fabrics. According to the report published by National Investment Promotion & Facilitation Agency in 2020, 13% of India’s total textile market consisted of technical textiles. The report revealed that technical textiles has been a fast-growing segment in India due to increased utilization in defense, sports, healthcare, construction, and automotive applications. Moreover, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) set up an initiative called “National Technical Textiles Mission” to increase the market size of technical textiles with an average growth rate of 15% to 20% by 2024. According to the report released by the United States of America Department of Commerce in 2020, stringent regulations imposed by European governments on personal safety and protective apparel have driven the technical textile and smart fabrics market in Europe. The Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology evaluated the demand for multiaxial fabrics in China to be 400,000 tons per year in 2019. Therefore, developments in the textile industry is driving the polypropylene fiber market.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 Pandemic/IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL SCENARIO/IMPACT OF RECESSION

Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected economies and industries in various countries across the globe. The crisis disturbed supply chains, manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and essential and nonessential product sales. These disruptions restricted the availability of construction materials. It caused delays in production and increased costs, negatively impacting the overall supply of polypropylene fiber. Many manufacturing activities were temporarily halted or scaled back during the COVID-19 pandemic to comply with lockdown measures and ensure the safety of workers. In addition, the pandemic impacted the global economy, leading to fluctuations in commodity prices and reduced demand for end use industries such as textile, construction, automotive, and others.

The global marketplace is recovering from the losses as governments of different countries have announced relaxation in the restrictions. Manufacturing activities are rebounding as countries gradually recover from the pandemic and vaccination efforts continue. Manufacturers are permitted to operate at full capacity to overcome the supply gap. Increased investments and stimulus packages in many regions drive the demand for end use industries. Thus, the global polypropylene fiber market is anticipated to grow strongly during the forecast period.
