Polypropylene catalyst market is set to register a high CAGR owing to increasing demand in the automotive industry

Pune, India, October, 2018 /press release/- Market Research Future Published a Half-Cooked Research Report on Polypropylene Catalyst  Market Research Report.

Polypropylene catalysts are used to obtain different types of polypropylene based on stereospecificity, C-monomer distribution, and degree of linearity. The demand of high-grade polypropylene is increasing in the automotive industry due to the need of improved thickness, toughness, and other essential characteristics.

Polypropylene catalysts market are categorized into Ziegler–Natta (ZN) catalyst, metallocene catalyst, and others. On the basis of product type, the Ziegler–Natta segment is expected to be the largest market during the forecast period due to the good morphology control and profitability offered by these types of catalysts. Metallocenes, are costly but they produce high-grade, stereospecific polypropylene and a highly defined microstructure. Owing to the relatively low cost and easy controlled production of polypropylene, the Ziegler-Natta segment is projected to be the largest and fastest-growing polypropylene catalyst market during the forecast period.

On the basis of manufacturing process, the global polypropylene catalyst market has been categorized as gas-phase process, bulk phase process, and others. The gas-phase process segment is projected to be the largest and fastest-growing market owing to the cost-effectiveness of the process and the purity of polypropylene produced with minimal residue..

By application, the global polypropylene catalyst market has been segmented into films, fibers, tubes, injection-molded products, and others. The injection-molded products segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period as these products are widely used in vials and suture materials for surgery and in automotive interiors. Due to the growth of the medical and automotive industries, the injection-molded products segment is projected to be the largest market during the review period.

Based on end-use industry, the global polypropylene catalyst market has been segregated into automotive, packaging, medical, chemicals, and others. Automotive industry is expected to be the largest and fastest growing market during the forecast period owing to the profitability, and its resistance to aggressive chemicals and moisture. Polypropylene catalysts is largely used in the production of automotive components such as bumper facias, instrument panels, and door panels. Rapid industrialization and increasing demand for automobiles are the major drivers for the global polypropylene catalyst market.
