Abstract
Factors responsible for the polypropylene consumption growth in the post-crisis period were analyzed, and the world’s largest polypropylene manufacturers and leading polypropylene-producing countries were listed. Preferential growth of polypropylene production in Asia and the Middle East and the specific features of development of the raw material base of polypropylene under the Russian market conditions were demonstrated. The key polypropylene consumption areas in North America, Europe, and the Russian Federation were identified as follows: films, packaging materials, components for automotive industry, plastic pipes, fibers and fibrous materials, sheets, plastic furniture, and construction elements.
