The import of polypropylene to Brazil has shown significant fluctuations over the years, starting from 189.45 million kilograms in 2013 to reaching 223.7 million kilograms in 2023. The year-on-year variations highlight both periods of growth and decline, with notable drops in 2015 and 2020 and substantial recoveries in 2014 and 2021. The average variation per year over the last five years (CAGR) leading up to 2023 was 2.55%. Looking forward, the forecast indicates a continued but modest growth trend, with a forecasted CAGR of 1.78% from 2023 to 2028, culminating in a projected volume of 249.59 million kilograms in 2028, representing a growth rate of 9.22%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from global supply chain dynamics, environmental regulations, and technological advancements in polypropylene recycling which may influence import volumes. Additionally, domestic production capacities and economic factors within Brazil will play crucial roles in shaping future import needs.
