COVID-19 Impact on the Global Propylene Oxide Market
The propylene oxide market includes major Tier I and II companies like Dow Inc. (US), LyondellBasell Industries Holdings B.V. (Netherlands), Royal Dutch Shell PLC (Netherlands), BASF SE (Germany), SKC Company (South Korea), AGC Inc. (Japan), Repsol (Spain), Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. (Japan), Tokuyama Corporation (Japan), and Indorama Ventures Public Company (Thailand). These suppliers have their manufacturing facilities spread across various countries across Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, South America, Middle East & Africa. COVID-19 has impacted their businesses as well.
When the COVID–19 pandemic spread across the world in March 2020, there was a lot of uncertainty about the future demand for propylene oxide. The automotive, construction, and furniture end use industries slowed due to uncertain market demand and reduced operating rates of manufacturing facilities. In March 2020, COVID–19 related lockdowns caused the inventory of raw materials, for instance, propylene, to fall in the US. Propylene supply from refineries was affected as the demand for petrochemical products, such as jet fuel, gasoline, and diesel, fell; thus, reducing the operating rates of these refineries. European propylene derivative producers rely on exports from China. However, the supply was affected due to COVID–19 restrictions. In April 2020, operating rates of steam crackers and other propylene–producing units were reduced by approximately 25%––30% in China, as demand fell. This had a domino effect on the propylene oxide market in 2020.
Propylene Oxide Market Dynamics
Drivers: Demand for propylene oxide from end use industries
Propylene oxide is being increasingly used across various end-use industries, such as building & construction and automotive. In the building & construction industry, there is a growing focus on constructing energy-efficient buildings, which has led to an increase in the demand for polyurethane materials. These materials are used in insulation applications to reduce energy loss. Whether it be rigid foams used as sandwich elements for new constructions, and insulation blocks, or spray foam for energetic modernization, polyurethane foams are the key to modern energy management. The second-largest application of propylene oxide is propylene glycol with monopropylene glycol (MPG) being the main product. MPG is mainly used to make unsaturated polyester resins (UPR), of which nearly three–quarters are reinforced with fiber glass or mineral fillers to form fiber glass reinforced plastics (FRPs). These uses of propylene oxide highlight its importance and utility in modern times.
Restraints: Toxic nature of propylene oxide
Propylene oxide is used in the production of polyether polyols (the primary component of polyurethane foams) and propylene glycol, di–propylene glycol, and glycol ethers. Propylene oxide is also used in the fumigation of certain foods and medical instruments made of plastic. Acute (short–term) exposure to propylene oxide causes eye and respiratory tract irritation in humans and animals. Dermal contact, even with dilute solutions, causes skin irritation and necrosis in humans. Propylene oxide also acts as a mild central nervous system depressant. Inflammatory lesions of the nasal cavity, trachea, and lungs and neurological effects have been observed in animals chronically (long–term) exposed to propylene oxide inhalation. The Environmental Protection Agency has classified propylene oxide as a Group B2, a probable human carcinogen. Hence, the toxic nature of propylene oxide acts as a restraint to the growth of the propylene oxide market, globally.
Opportunities: Emerging applications in healthcare industry
Increasing human life expectancy, along with the rise in spending and innovation in the healthcare sector, have fueled the growth of the polyurethane market in the medical devices industry. Over the last few decades, the use of polyurethane in the healthcare industry has increased due to the rise in the adoption of new technologies. polyurethane–containing devices, such as pacemakers, non–allergic gloves, medical garments, hospital bedding, hip replacements, and wound dressings are widely used in the healthcare industry. Polyurethane is also used in short–term implants. The growing healthcare industry is expected to provide high–growth opportunities for the polyurethane segment of the propylene oxide market.
Challenges: ;Use of bio-based feedstock for polyurethane foam instead of petroleum
Most of the polyols that are used in the production of polyurethane foam are derived from petroleum feedstocks, but the increasing concern over their environmental impact and the projected scarcity of petroleum in the future has led to the development of polyurethane foam from bio and renewable raw materials. The growing interest in the use of renewable materials has led to increasing use of renewable and sustainable products, such as green and bio-based polyols, in the production of polyurethane foam. Different kinds of vegetable oils have also been used in the production of polyurethane foam, such as castor oil, palm oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, canola oil, and tung oil, among others. The development of these new bio-based feedstocks to manufacture polyurethanes acts as a challenge to the growth of the propylene oxide market.
Propylene Oxide Market Ecosystem
Increased demand for polyether polyols from the polyurethane industry drives this application segment
Polyether polyols are mainly used in the manufacturing of polyurethanes (flexible foams). Polyether polyols are also used to manufacture rigid foams and are used in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers (CASE) applications. The growth of the polyether polyols segment is mainly driven by the increased demand for polyether polyols from the polyurethane industry. Polyurethanes (flexible foams) are used in a wide range of applications, such as bedding, furniture, carpets, vehicle interiors, and seats.
Automotive end use industry is projected to account for the largest share during the forecast period
Propylene oxide is used in the production of polyether polyols, which are used for manufacturing rigid and flexible polyurethane foams. Both rigid and flexible foams are used in car seats, hand rest, over liners, floor, and in other various interior, exterior, and under the bonnet applications. The polyols derivative of propylene oxide is also used in non–foam automotive applications, such as coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers, as well as thermoplastic resins and fibers.
Hydrogen peroxide process generates lesser co-products as compared to other production processes for propylene oxide
In the hydrogen peroxide process, the reaction is relatively straightforward, with the generation of a few by-products and no sizeable co-products. Water is the co-product of this process, and it can be treated nominally and discharged. The hydrogen peroxide process does not use chlorine. As such, the production of chlorinated by-products and copious amount of wastewater is avoided. Several companies have been developing technologies for the production of propylene oxide from propylene and hydrogen peroxide.
Consumption of propylene oxide in the Asia Pacific region to account for the largest share during the forecast period due to large manufacturing base in this region
The Asia Pacific region accounts for the largest share of the global market due to use of propylene oxide in polyurethane applications. The Asia Pacific region is a global manufacturing hub due to presence of automotive, building & construction, chemical & pharmaceutical, textile, electronics and packaging product manufacturers. All these industries utilize polyurethane foam as an intermediate or as a raw material. Hence, demand for polyurethane foam has always remained high in this region. Propylene oxide is also used for manufacturing chemical intermediates such as propylene glycol, glycol ethers, synthetic lubricants, specialty surfactants, flame retardants and others. The Asia Pacific region also houses numerous SME firms engaged in the production of these aforementioned intermediates, leading to a sustained demand for propylene oxide. The demand for such polyurethane foam applications and chemical intermediaries is expected to increase during the forecast period as population, level of urbanization, income, and purchasing power increases in the Asia Pacific region. This is expected to further boost the market in the Asia Pacific region.
