Report summary

Wood Mackenzie examined the changes in demand due to the pandemic response for different polymer types. This insight assesses the impact of the polypropylene demand loss onto the second largest base chemical – propylene. We evaluate the short-term impact on global propylene production as well as identify key regions that will be most exposed to production loss. What will be the 2020 operating rate under the different scenarios? Which region will lose the most propylene production this year? How does the impact on the propylene market compare with ethylene?
