European plastics market 2014-2022

11 September 2015

A new Ceresana study examines the European market for plastics. In total, the European plastics market reached a volume of more than 53 million tonnes in 2014. According to the demand volume and price development for the individual types of plastics, sales are expected to rise at average growth rates of 2.9% p.a. to about €104 billion in 2022. The three dominating application areas for plastics in 2014 were flexible packaging, rigid packaging and the construction industry. Those three areas are currently representing about 70% of the total demand for plastics in Europe. Flexible packaging is dominated by LDPE and LLDPE that account for almost 53%, followed by PP and HDPE.
