On May 14th, 2025, the Annual meeting of the Polypropylene Branch of China Chemical Fiber Industry Association was held in Donghai, Jiangsu Province. Guests such as Chen Xinwei, President of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, Guo Qinghai, President of the Polypropylene Branch of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association and chairman of Guangdong Montai High-tech Fiber Co., LTD., Zhang Shibo, Vice President of Hubei Botao Synthetic Fiber Co., LTD., and Chen Long, a professor from the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Donghua University, And senior experts, scholars, researchers and entrepreneurs from the upstream and downstream of the polypropylene industry chain gathered together to discuss the new development of the polypropylene industry. The meeting was presided over by Li Zengjun, the former chief economist of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association and vice president of the Polypropylene Branch.

This conference is hosted by the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, Jiangsu Botao New Materials Co., Ltd. and China Polypropylene Network, and organized by the Polypropylene Branch of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association.

Analysis and Outlook on the Economic Operation of China's Polypropylene Industry

Dou Juan, the secretary-general of the Polypropylene Branch of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, delivered a report on the polypropylene industry on behalf of the Secretariat of the Polypropylene Branch. She reviewed the overall operation of the polypropylene industry in 2024 and the first quarter of 2025, and made prospects for its development in the second half of 2025. In 2024, the operation of China's polypropylene industry as a whole tended to be stable, with a decrease in imports and an increase in exports, and the industry's profits declined somewhat. In terms of polypropylene raw materials, in 2024, the domestic polypropylene industry continued to expand its capacity, and the oversupply entered a normal state. The price showed a trend of first rising and then falling. Although the overall price of polypropylene fluctuates with the price of raw materials, the base price difference remains stable overall. In terms of exports, as polypropylene is mainly exported to Southeast Asia, the impact of tariff changes this year on the export of the polypropylene industry is relatively small. However, attention should be paid to the transmission effect of tariffs on the terminal products of the industrial chain on polypropylene. It is expected that the production capacity of polypropylene raw materials will further expand in 2025, with supply exceeding demand. The concentration degree of the polypropylene industry has further increased, and backward production capacity has gradually been eliminated. The downstream demand has slowed down, presenting both opportunities and challenges.

The process of green development standardization construction in China's polypropylene industry

Liu Shiyang, deputy director of the Development Department of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, analyzed the production process characteristics of polypropylene from three levels: industry, production and management. He reported on the current relevant standards for green manufacturing in the chemical fiber industry (including polypropylene), and introduced the main contents of the standards such as energy consumption limits per unit product, enterprise greenhouse gas emission accounting and product carbon footprint quantification. In addition, he also introduced the situation of the chemical fiber industry applying for provincial and national green factories in recent years, as well as the third-party evaluation work of green factories carried out by the chemical Fiber Association.
