Polymer demand in Asia

Long regarded as the powerhouse of plastics processing, Asia accounted for over 46 percent of global polymer demand in 2016. China accounts for the largest polymer demand, and with manufacturing costs remaining relatively low, this this trend is likely to continue. AMI Consulting’s latest report in the global polymer demand series, “Polymer Demand in Asia,” published September 2017, details the size, nature and future prospects for both commodity and engineering plastics. The region represents a varied market with the 13 countries listed in the report having differing prospects for polymer demand. For more information, visit www.ami.international.
