Bearish PP, PE trend persists in Türkiye: Historical ChemOrbis data offer insights for future by Merve Madakbaşı
Mainstream suppliers introduced fresh price cuts in Türkiye as the final quarter of 2025 began, with persistent financial strains weighing on both resin and downstream markets. A combination of ample supply and a lack of momentum across global markets further dampened sentiment, prompting Turkish buyers to issue lower counterbids this month.

India’s PP, PE markets slide deeper as October opens with fresh cuts by Merve Sezgün

European PP approaches half-decade low amid frail demand, long supply by Manolya Tufan
PP markets across West Europe extended their downtrend into late September, with PPH, PPBC and PPRC injection grades sliding to their lowest levels since December 2020—at the height of the first pandemic winter.

Polypropylene (PP) is a product group produced by the conversion of propylene monomer through a process of polymerization. Polypropylene (PP) is the world's second largest polymer in terms of consumption. There are two main types of PP: Homo-PP and PP Copolymer.
Homo-PP (PPH) is further divided into various grades, such as raffia, injection, fiber, film, BOPP and non-woven. Homo-PP is used in various applications, such as sacks, gift wraps, carpet yarns, kitchenware, automotive parts, food packaging, sanitary pads, diapers and wet wipes. PP Copolymer, which is made more durable by the addition of ethylene monomer during the conversion process, is used in household appliances, automotive and electrical parts and pipe applications.
Looking at the most important net buyer and supplier countries in the polypropylene (PP) market, China stands at the top of the list of importing countries. As of 2020, China alone realizes 25% of the world’s total PP imports. China is followed by Türkiye, which imports 10% of the world’s total PP production, while Italy occupies the third place in rankings. South Korea, Malaysia and Germany comprise the top three main PP suppliers.
