Modified Polypropylene Market Trends Highlight Increasing Demand in Packaging Sector
The global modified polypropylene market size is expected to reach USD 56.35 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2021 to 2030. The market is anticipated to grow due to the use of modified polypropylene in the automotive, electrical and electronics, packaging, building and construction, and medical industry across the globe. In modified polypropylene, the processing of polypropylene is done by adding glass fibers and thermoplastic rubbers to improve its impact resistance, flame retardancy, and other properties, thus expanding its scope of application in the above-mentioned industries.
Modified polypropylene exhibits superior flowability, high UV resistance, impact resistance chemical resistance, and negligible water absorption, which makes it suitable to be used in the manufacturing of front and rear-end bumpers, protective side strips, and mud guards.
The rising income of the population and improvements in the standard of living are driving the interior designing market and are influencing interior designers and furniture manufacturers to introduce new designs in the market. Moreover, the investments in the construction of smart cities, airports, and commercial buildings by governments across the globe are driving the demand for smart planning and technology integrated interior design services, which is anticipated to drive the market for modified polypropylene in furniture designing.
