The ranking proportion of PP product varieties affected significantly by the maintenance equipment and seasonal demand fluctuations varies distinctly; let's look at the production ranking situation of PP across different product varieties in spring 2025.

Data source: JLC (Jinlianchuan)

In March 2025, the PP market will mainly exhibit a weak fluctuation, and as of March 21, the mainstream price of extruded PP fibers ranges from 7180 to 7520 yuan per ton. In the eastern region, the mainstream price of extruded PP fibers is from 7250 to 7460 yuan per ton; in the southern region, it is from 7280 to 7520 yuan per ton; in the northern region, it ranges from 7180 to 7400 yuan per ton. However, the ranking proportion of PP production varieties is significantly differentiated due to differences in maintenance equipment inspections and seasonal demand fluctuations. Take a closer look at the production ranking situation of PP various grades at the beginning of 2025.

According to JLC, as of March 21st, the average production ratio for wire drawing in March 2025 was 27.08%, down 2.26 percentage points month-on-month. The spring maintenance of production facilities in 2025 is approaching. (Ningbo), Zhongjing Petrochemical, Pucheng Clean Energy and other production units are shut down for maintenance. The production line of Zhongjing Petrochemical in Ningbo, which mainly produces monofilament with large capacity, is undergoing maintenance shutdowns, resulting in reduced production of monofilament, with its production ratio dropping to the lowest level of 22.54% this month. Under the continuous stimulation of policies during the Two Sessions and the new-for-old policy, the production ratio of copolymer injection molding in March is showing an upward trend, with intense internal competition in copolymer injection molding. The average production ratio in March was 21.07%, up by 2.14 percentage points from the previous period. Upon closer examination of different categories within copolymer injection molding, low melt and high melt copolymers have shown significant increases, rising by 1.19 percentage points and 1.34 percentage points respectively.

From the production scheduling characteristics of other varieties, the average production scheduling ratio of homopolymer injection molding in March was 8.06%, a month-on-month decrease of 0.85 percentage points. This was mainly due to the lack of traditional peak season characteristics, slow growth in downstream daily necessities orders, and narrowing price differentials between homopolymer injection molding and drawing. Fibers have excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature performance, making them suitable for manufacturing clothing, carpets, curtains, etc. With the arrival of spring and warming weather, the average production scheduling ratio of fibers in March increased by 0.79 percentage points month-on-month to 8.03%. The production scheduling ratio of BOPP films fluctuated slightly, but demand was constrained by the limited receiving capacity of downstream factories, leading to insufficient new orders. The average production scheduling ratio of BOPP films was 5.22%, with a small month-on-month increase of 0.55 percentage points.
