India PP outlook for 2026: Oversupply entrenched as China flows and new capacity collide by Merve Sezgün and Shibu Itty Kuttickal
India’s PP market is heading into 2026 under pronounced supply pressure, with oversupply firmly embedded after a turbulent 2025 marked by weak downstream demand, aggressive Chinese competition and a steadily depreciating rupee.

Stats: Egypt ramps up PP, PE and PVC sales to Brazil in 2025, while flows to Türkiye shrink by Esra Ersöz
Egypt has become one of Brazil’s fastest-rising polymer suppliers in 2025, sharply expanding its PP, PE and PVC shipments during January-November, ChemOrbis Stats Wizard reveals. Although volumes remain small compared with the main origins particularly in PP and PE, Egypt’s gains were strong enough to alter Brazil’s supplier rankings across all three polymers... 16-12-2025
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.
