Polymer Demand Dataset

What is Polymer Demand Dataset?

The Polymer Demand Dataset ia a powerful data analysis tool crafted to enhance your efficiency in analysing polymer markets, save you valuable time, and support your strategic plans.

It provides data of thermoplastics consumption by region, country, sector and end-use application. It covers demand for both virgin and recycled polymers. Historic, current, and forecast volumes are available for all thermoplastic polymers.

For nearly 40 years, we have stayed focused on our downstream plastics niche: our data is robust, our methodology has integrity and our expertise is unmatched.

NEW European data now available

Within the EU, the plastics industry is facing turbulence due to anti-plastic narratives and stringent regulations (PPWR). We see major demand shifts between virgin and recycled polymers, as well as many packaging markets seeing decline. However, in wider Europe, where legislation is not the key driver of change within the plastics industry, we see demand growing.

Our Polymer Demand Dataset for Europe is crucial for helping you to navigate the differing polymer landscapes within Europe and see clearly areas of growth and decline.

Benefits to you?

We help you to navigate the changing plastics industry landscape, gain insights into recyclate penetration and where it will take demand from virgin resin.

We analyse downstream market trends and our demand forecasts will help you align strategically.

Let us provide the data to qualify your decision-making.

Why is our data different?

Our expert knowledge of recycled polymer markets allow us to forecast recyclate inclusion by application. Our data is researched from both top-down and bottom-up methods and verified directly with the industry:
- Top-down: interviews with polymer producers and distributors, production volumes, trade statistics, industry data.
- Bottom-up: 5,000 interviews are carried out each year with plastics processors and OEMs to gather polymer demand data.
What's included in the data?

Polymer Demand is a dataset of polymer consumption and highlights in the supply of virgin and recycled polymers. Specifically, it presents tonnages for thermoplastics consumption by region, country, sector and end-use application. Tonnages broken down for both virgin and recycled resins.

Polymers: LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP, PVC, GPHI PS, EPS, ABS/SAN, PET, PBT, PA, PC, POM, PMMA, rLDPE, rLLDPE, rHDPE, rPP, rPVC, rPS, rEPS, rABS/SAN, rPET, rPBT, rPA, rPC, rPOM, and rPMMA

Processes: Injection moulding, blow moulding, rotational moulding, film extrusion, sheet extrusion, pipe extrusion, profile extrusion, fibre extrusion, others

Application sectors: Agriculture, automotive and transport, building and infrastructure, consumer goods, domestic appliances and electronics, flexible consumer packaging, flexible industrial packaging, rigid consumer packaging, rigid industrial packaging, healthcare, and others.

Specific application breakdown is also available.

Coming soon ...

We are currently conducting our interview programme with plastics processors and OEMs in North America (USA, Canada, and Mexico) to gather polymer demand data of this region.

This dataset will be available in Q1:2025.
