The global polypropylene (PP) edge banding market is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period, from 2018 to 2023. PP Edge Banding is a thermoplastic material that is used to encase the exposed edges of furniture, cabinetry, and other interior furnishings. This material offers numerous advantages over conventional edge banding materials such as its color fastness, superior resistance to wear and tear, and its environmentally-friendly properties.
Moreover, changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable and eco-friendly products are driving the market growth of PP edge banding materials. The rising environmental concerns and strict environmental regulations with respect to the use of PVC, which is a widely used material in the manufacturing of edge banding, is further propelling the demand for PP edge banding materials in the market.
Geographically, Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness the highest growth rate in the PP edge banding market during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for furniture and construction of new residential and commercial buildings in the region. China, India, and Japan are some of the major contributors in this region, owing to the growing population, rapid urbanization, and the rising disposable income of consumers.
