Global Polymer Demand Data
What is Polymer Demand?
AMI’s Polymer Demand Data covers demand by country for both virgin and recycled polymers.
Historic, current, and forecast volumes are available for all thermoplastic polymers. Data is available by processing technology, sector, and specific end-use applications.
For over 35 years, we have stayed focused on our downstream plastics niche: our data is robust, our methodology has integrity and our expertise is unmatched.
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
- We track plastics processing operations and our database will help you identify new customers and understand shifts in their industrial set-up
Why is our data different?
Our data is researched from both top-down and bottom-up methods and verified directly with the industry:
- Top-down: producer numbers, trade statistics, industry data, interviews with polymer producers and distributors
- Bottom-up: 5,000 interviews are carried out each year with plastics processors and OEMs to gather polymer demand data.
