POLYMER MARKETS 2011

Russian and the CIS polymers production capacities can’t satisfy the market demand – both in volumes and in grade assortment. In spite of new capacities input, Russia still occupies 5th position among world polymers importers (PE, PP, PVC, PS and PET). Starting from 2013 new capacities will be put into operation, their products will be focused on import replacement. But even after launch of new projects, European and Asian companies will supply more polymers, these market conditions will directly influence the situation in the CIS countries.
