Polypropylene Catalyst Market

The global polypropylene catalyst market size is estimated to be USD 1.5 billion in 2020 and projected to reach USD 2.5 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 9.9%. Polypropylene catalyst is used for optimizing the polymerization process of propylene. These catalysts are used for converting propylene to polypropylene. They are used to maintain the homogeneity and isotacticity of polypropylene produced during the process. The increasing number of polypropylene production plants is expectd to drive the market.

The leading players in the global polypropylene catalyst market includes LyondellBasell Industries (the Netherlands), W.R. Grace & Co. (US), Clariant (Switzerland), Evonik (Germany), INEOS (UK), Sumitomo Chemicals (Japan), China Petrochemical Corporation (China), Japan Polypropylene Corporation (Japan), Evonik (Germany), and TOHO Titanium (Japan), and Mitsui Chemicals (Japan).
