In a launch despatched to Rigzone lately, GlobalData stated China is on the forefront of world polypropylene capability additions via 2028.
“China is prone to register the best polypropylene capability additions globally by 2028, contributing about 45 % of the whole capability additions from the upcoming deliberate and introduced initiatives,” GlobalData acknowledged within the launch, which highlighted a report from the corporate on polypropylene business capability and capital expenditure forecasts.
That report revealed that China “is prone to witness … complete polypropylene capability additions of 21.92 million tons each year throughout 2024 to 2028 from 43 deliberate and 7 introduced initiatives”, GlobalData identified within the launch.

“Polypropylene is a key chemical within the petrochemical business,” Nivedita Roy, an oil and gasoline analyst at GlobalData, stated within the launch.
“On account of its versatile sturdiness, warmth resistance, and suppleness, it finds functions in numerous industries,” Roy added.
“China is witnessing a big surge in demand for polypropylene, pushed by the sturdy progress within the automotive, development, and packaging industries,” Roy continued.
“With vital investments in large-scale initiatives and an rising variety of deliberate and introduced vegetation, China is poised to solidify its place as the worldwide chief in polypropylene manufacturing,” Roy went on to state.
“These expansions replicate the nation’s dedication to bolstering its petrochemical sector, positioning it for sustained dominance within the world market over the following decade,” Roy stated.
The discharge famous that, in China, the best capability addition is anticipated from the Fujian Eversun New Materials Putian Polypropylene Plant 2 with a capability of 1.10 million tons each year.
The plant is at the moment below development and is anticipated to begin polypropylene manufacturing in 2026, GlobalData acknowledged within the launch.
In a separate launch despatched to Rigzone final month, GlobalData stated China is prone to register the best ethylene oxide capability additions globally by 2028, “contributing about 75 % of the whole capability additions from upcoming deliberate and introduced initiatives”.
That launch highlighted {that a} GlobalData report on ethylene oxide business capability and capital expenditure forecasts confirmed that China “is prone to witness a complete ethylene oxide capability additions of 5.43 million tons each year throughout 2024-28 from eleven deliberate and two introduced initiatives”.
In that launch, Roy highlighted that “ethylene oxide is among the main petrochemicals, primarily used as a precursor to quite a few chemical merchandise and derivatives”.
“The rising demand for ethylene oxide in China’s healthcare and textile sectors is driving the necessity for capability expansions within the nation,” Roy added.
That GlobalData launch famous that, in China, the best capability addition is anticipated from the Shandong Yulong Petrochemical Longkou Ethylene Oxide Plant 1 with a capability of 0.73 million tons each year. The plant is anticipated to begin ethylene oxide manufacturing in 2024 within the state of Shandong, GlobalData acknowledged within the launch.
In one other launch despatched to Rigzone in December, GlobalData stated China is ready to dominate acetic acid capability additions globally via 2028, “contributing greater than 90 % of the whole capability additions from seven new construct and an enlargement challenge”.

In that launch, Roy stated, “acetic acid, generally known as ethanoic acid, is a vital chemical reagent that finds vast functions throughout a number of industries reminiscent of textiles, plastics, and prescription drugs”.
“The fast enlargement of those sectors in China is driving the demand for acetic acid within the nation,” Roy added.
This GlobalData launch famous that the best capability addition is from Guangdong Shengyuanda Know-how Jieyang Acetic Acid Plant, with a capability of 1.50 million tons each year. The plant is at the moment below development, and it’s anticipated to begin manufacturing in 2026, GlobalData stated in that launch.
