From 2013 to 2015, the production of polypropylene in primary forms in France remained at zero. A significant shift occurred in 2016 with production skyrocketing to 1,904,200,000 kilograms. This upward trend continued in 2017 with a year-on-year variation of 1.52%, reaching a peak. However, 2018 witnessed a dramatic decrease of 31.83%. From 2018 onwards, the production stayed relatively stable with minor fluctuations, including slight declines in 2019 and 2020. The annual change in 2023 was barely noticeable at 0.045% when compared to 2022, indicating a steady state. The CAGR over the last five years stood at -1.09% in 2023.
Future projections for the period from 2024 to 2028 indicate minimal increases, with forecasted annual production hovering around 1,247,000,000 kilograms and a forecast 5-year CAGR of 0.01%. This suggests a plateau in production levels.
Key future trends to watch for include technological advancements in polymer production, shifts in demand driven by industry needs or regulation changes focusing on environmental impact, and potential supply chain disruptions that could affect production capabilities.
