In terms of consumption, the global propylene market was at 92.4 million metric tons in 2015. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.65% between 2015 and 2020.Asia-Pacific (APAC) dominated the market in 2015, accounting for 53.9% of the global demand. This was followed by Europe with a 20.4% share. APAC is the largest propylene-consuming market, with emerging economies like China, India,and Japan. China is the second-largest producer of propylene, and it is anticipated that its propylene production capacity will grow significantly over the next five years.In North America, the demand for propylene is expected to grow owing to increased consumption of polypropylene, which accounted for 66% of the total propylene derivatives in 2015.The global propylene production is anticipated to shift toward on-purpose

technology due to the availability of multi-feedstock for propylene production. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.48% during the forecast period.It is anticipated that the demand from the polypropylene market will drive the production of propylene and other derivative products. More than 65% of the total propylene produced is used in the production of polypropylene, while 8% is used in

the production of propylene oxide and 7% is used in the production of acrylonitrile.
