Ukrainian imports of polypropylene grew by 3% in January<\/p>\nUkrainian imports of polypropylene grew by 3% in January<\/p>\n
According to the results of the first two months of this year, the total volume of imports of polypropylene (PP) to the Ukrainian market grew by 3% compared to the same period in 2017 and amounted to 18.7 thousand tons. Most of all, demand for a stat-copolymer of propylene (PP-Random) has increased, according to a report by DataScope of the company MRC. In February, the volume of imports of PP to Ukraine fell to 8.9 thousand tons against 9.9 thousand tons a month earlier, a decrease in supplies was noted in the segment of homopolymers of propylene (PP homo). In general, for January-February the total volume of imports of propylene polymers reached the level of 18.7 thousand tons against 18.1 thousand tons a year earlier. The demand for propylene copolymers increased, with the largest increase in PP-Rand.<\/p>\n
The structure of supplies by types of PP for the period under review is as follows.<\/p>\n
In February, external deliveries of propylene homopolymers to the Ukrainian market fell to 6.5 thousand tons against 7.5 thousand tons a month earlier. The main reduction in deliveries was in PP-homo raffia from Saudi Arabia. For the first two months, the total supplies of PP homo reached 14 thousand tons, which is 2% less than a year earlier.<\/p>\n
In February, the external supplies of propylene block copolymers (PP blocks) amounted to less than 1 thousand tons, which is 10% lower than a month earlier. On the part of local companies, the demand for propylene copolymers decreased. During the period under review, about 2 thousand tons of block copolymers of propylene were imported, while a year ago this figure was slightly more than 1.9 thousand tons.<\/p>\n
In February, the import of the propylene copolymers exceeded 1.2 thousand tons against 1.1 thousand tons a month earlier, the demand for PP from the pipe manufacturers increased. According to the results of January – February of this year, the total import volume of PP-Random reached the level of 2.4 thousand tons, whereas a year earlier this figure was 1.6 thousand tons.<\/p>\n
The total volume of supplies of other copolymers of propylene during the period under review was about 400 tons compared to 376 tons a year earlier.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
