• PC demand growth for
automotive glazing will help
offset some optical media
reduction
• Outlook dependent on strength
of demand growth from China
and India, and rate of increase
in new production capacity
• Supply demand in balance but
producer margins at 10 year
lows, so expect price
increases

The Good Old Days…
• Cheap Material −Avenue to move excess
propylene
• Versatile −Able to replace other
products
−“Poor man’s” engineering polymer
• Low price and versatility drove growth
−PP one of the polymers with the highest demand growth rate

most of the growth
• Consumer products/packaging to
drive growth
• Oversupply conditions expected in
next two years; benefits Asia
• Trade to become competitive; trade
flows to change
• Regional price disparities will ease,
longer term
• Short term price to affect demand;
versatility to help long term
