Polypropylene Yarn Market Research Report 2019-2030

Polypropylene Yarn Market: Introduction

Polypropylene yarn, the lightest and useful yarn used in the textile sector, is also called PP yarn and polyp yarn. Polypropylene yarn is used as a raw material in various applications due to properties such as high tensile strength, low weight compared to other materials, and resistance against mildew and the nocuous effects of water.
Polypropylene yarn is available in a wide range of colors, and possesses special add-on properties such as flame retardancy and special UV resistant grades
The production process of polypropylene involves the extrusion of the pellet, which gives the yarn extraordinary chemical, physical, and environmental properties
Polypropylene yarn can be considered chemically inert and has good properties of resistance against a variety of chemical substances. It has high response to fracture due to bending or fatigue, good tenacity and impact resistance, and high thermal stability. It can degrade to the outside with exposure to UV light from the sun, due to the formation of oxygen bonds on the surface. Therefore, companies manufacture the yarn with additives that provide ribbons with a very high resistance to external light, thus avoiding its decomposition when used for outdoor applications.

Different Types of Polypropylene Yarns for Various Applications

Based on tenacity, the global polypropylene yarns market can be bifurcated into regular tenacity and high tenacity. Regular polypropylene yarn has tenacity of 3.5 to 4.0 gm per Denier. High PP yarn has tenacity of 5.0 gm/Denier to 7.0 gm/Denier. Regular tenacity polypropylene yarn is used in the manufacture of narrow woven fabrics and polypropylene cloth. High tenacity polypropylene yarn is employed in the manufacture of fish net, filter cloth, geotextiles, and jumbo bags.

Applications of Polypropylene Yarn

Polypropylene yarn is used in car upholstery, furniture upholstery, soccer/sports socks, ribbons, nets, dyeing hoses, filtration fabric, laces, swimwear, sportswear, and undergarments. Led by its technical characteristics, it is not only used in the narrow weaving sector as the most preferred yarn type, but is also employed in many different fields and sectors such as home textile and carpet manufacturing.
Polypropylene yarn possesses a hygienic structure that does not cause allergic reactions. Moisture formed by sweat is thrown out by the breathing structure. It does not hold moisture and water. Furthermore, it does not contain dirt and stain.

Banned Usage of Plastics to Hamper Global Polypropylene Yarn Market

Rise in awareness about the usage of plastics and replacement of sustainable packaging solutions are expected to hamper the polypropylene yarn market in the next few years
Plastic is primarily used and produced for various end-uses. Thus, plastic pollution has become a significant environmental concern. Car upholstery, furniture upholstery, soccer/sports socks, ribbons, nets, dyeing hoses, filtration fabric, laces, swimwear, sportswear are significant end-users of polypropylene yarn, which ends up accumulating in landfills. Increase in awareness about plastic pollution and its adverse effects on the environment has prompted many countries to take initiatives such as plastic recycling and impose regulations to curb plastic waste generation. However, plastic recycling is not completely effective. Therefore, industries are opting for alternatives. This is estimated to hamper the global polypropylene yarn market during the forecast period.
