Uncertainty, inflation, low demand – the signs are not good. For more than three and a half years, the European plastics industry has had little reason to remain optimistic. Anyone who thought stability would return after the pandemic was clearly wrong. The impact of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine is being felt, even though it’s not as hot a topic for the media as it was a year ago. To gauge how business is developing in the European plastics industry, PIE conducted its 10th Market Survey. The questionnaire was made open to PIE subscribers and other industry players and attracted almost 200 participants from across Europe.
