MOSCOW (MRC) - Imports of polypropylene (PP) into
Belarus decreased to about 62,800 tonnes in first seven months of this year,
down 3% year on year, compared to the same period of 2019. The greatest decrease
in imports accounted for propylene copolymers, according to MRC DataScope.
July
imports of polypropylene in Belarus decreased to 7,300 tonnes, while a month
earlier this figure was about 11,000 tonnes, local companies reduced the volume
of purchases of all types of propylene polymers in Russia. Total PP imports into
the country reached 62,800 tonnes in January - July, compared with 64,600 tonnes
year on year. The demand for homopolymer PP increased, but demand for
propylene copolymers decreased.
The structure of PP imports by grades
looked the following way over the stated period.

July imports of homopolymer PP to the Belarusian
market decreased to 6,300 tonnes from 7,500 tonnes a month earlier, shipments of
injection moulding homopolymer PP from Russia decreased. Overall imports of
homopolymer PP reached 45,900 tonnes in the first seven months of 2020, up by 7%
year on year.
July imports of propylene copolymers to Belarus were about
1,000 tonnes versus 3,500 tonnes a month earlier, local companies decreased
significantly their procurement of injection moulding block-copolymers of
propylene (PP block copolymer) from Russian producers. Thus, overall imports of
propylene copolymers reached 16,900 tonnes in January-July, down by 22% year on
