According to the results of seven months of this year, the total volume of polypropylene imports to the Ukrainian market amounted to about 79 thousand tons, which is 7% more than in 2018. The increase in supplies fell solely on propylene homopolymers (PP-homo)<\/p>\n
In July, the volume of polypropylene imports to Ukraine grew to 12.2 thousand tons against 10.2 thousand tons a month earlier, the main increase in supplies came from PP-homo from Russia. In general, in January – July 2019, the total volume of imports of propylene polymers reached 79 thousand tons against 74 thousand tons a year earlier. The main increase in imports came from PP-homo, while the demand for propylene copolymers decreased.<\/p>\n
The supply structure by types of polypropylene for the period under review is as follows.<\/p>\n
In July, external deliveries of propylene homopolymers to the Ukrainian market grew due to growth in supplies from Russia and amounted to about 9.3 thousand tons against 8.1 thousand tons a month earlier. For seven months, the total supply of PP-homo reached 61.4 thousand tons against 54.8 thousand tons a year earlier.<\/p>\n
Last month, the indicator of external deliveries of propylene block copolymers (PP-block) amounted to about 1.1 thousand tons against 1 thousand tons in June. During the period under review, about 7.5 thousand tons of propylene block copolymers were imported, while a year earlier this figure was about 7.7 thousand tons.<\/p>\n
In July, imports of propylene stat copolymers (PP-random) increased significantly and amounted to about 1.6 thousand tons compared to 1 thousand tons a month earlier, local companies went on a significant increase in purchases of pipe and injection PP-random. According to the results of January – July, the total volume of PP-random imports exceeded the level of 9 thousand tons, while a year earlier this figure was about 10.2 thousand tons.<\/p>\n
The total supply of other propylene copolymers for the period under review amounted to about 1.1 thousand tons.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
