Vietnam’s local PP stalls after brief uptick; PE drags lower under persistent oversupply by Thi Huong Nguyen
Vietnam’s local PP and PE markets remained subdued during the week ending November 14. PP prices steadied after a brief uptick from more than two-year lows, while PE extended its multi-month slide with no signs of reversal since early September.

Turkish PP and PE players assess the possibility of the market bottom by Merve Madakbaşı
Polyolefin markets in Türkiye saw renewed price cuts in early November amid the year-end lull and easing upstream costs.

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.
