　　Market prospects

　　As the rapid development of the bright younger generation of synthetic fiber polypropylene. Since the 80s of the 20th century, world polypropylene production to more than 9%, the average annual rate of growth, much higher than the earlier polyester 7.3% and synthetic fiber 4.6% growth rate. Affected by the impact of the world financial crisis, synthetic growth rate slowed down significantly, but polypropylene production average annual growth rate remained at 5.5%, the demand of polypropylene is also essential to maintain this growth trend.

　　According to the authoritative department statistics, the current world polypropylene annual production capacity and output respectively 5.6 million tons and 500 million tons, which capacity and output of fiber spinning and were approximately 400 million tons and 330 million tons. Expected by the end of 2001, polyolefin fiber production capacity will reach nearly 7000000 tons, of which the production capacity of about 4500000 tons of fiber spinning. According to the analysis, the rapid development of polypropylene production mainly by demand growth, its production and demand growth rate is basically equivalent. The film split fiber, polypropylene demand of about 500 million tons / year, fibrillated film fiber after removal, polypropylene demand in 330 million tons - 350 million tons.

　　From the point of view of the polypropylene market distribution, world polypropylene (not including the application of fibrillated film fiber) distribution ratio is basically the carpet production accounted for about 45% of the total, industry and the health field accounted for about 40%, decorative consumption accounts for 12%, clothing consumption accounted for 3%. The main application field of polypropylene in developed countries is the carpet industry and industrial fields, such as the United States carpet with PP accounted for about 60% of the total consumption of polypropylene (among them, the car with the polypropylene fiber carpet use amount larger), industrial and medical accounted for 35%, daily 4%, clothing consumption less; carpet in Western Europe, the amount of industrial and decorative accounted for 95% of the amount of polypropylene fiber, clothing consumption accounts for 4%; Asian economic growth faster countries and regions although polypropylene production started late, rapid development, especially the Asian population is numerous, demand in the field of health, health consumption of non-woven fabric and the ratio of consumption is much higher than in Europe and the United States.

　　Relevant experts believe that the future of polypropylene market will further accelerate the expansion, especially in the field of non-woven fabrics (mainly industrial, medical and health, and Engineering). Also along with the development of technology of Polypropylene Modification, polypropylene is also some textile field alternative other fiber varieties, such as propylene is low cost, easy processing, hydrophobic properties of the in the original acrylic and polyester cotton spinning, wool market, have begun to occupy a seat, and the expansion of the trend. In addition, the modified polypropylene fiber composite processing and other high-grade carpet, then compete with nylon.

　　Is expected in the next 10 years, the development of polypropylene in the world will still be higher than other fiber, ability although the growth rate slowed down, but will also keep the in around 4%, the growth rate of output and demand is about 5%. In addition to East Asia, Southeast Asia and other petrochemical industry rapid rise of the region also continue to grow, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other petrochemical industry rapid rise of the region will become a new rapid growth region. At that time, not including split fiber, polypropylene production capacity, the world production and demand will be more than the film, nylon fiber.
