Polymer Demand Dataset
What is Polymer Demand Dataset?
Our 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.
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.

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.
- Top-down: interviews with polymer producers and distributors, production volumes, trade statistics, industry data.
What's included in the data?
