About IBISWorld Industry Reports

Molding for the future

This industry is characterized by its volatile nature, reflecting a cyclical nature of supply and demand imbalance. Based on new legislation, competitive pressure from the Middle East and Asia and continually increasing input prices, players will need to make adjustments. The next five years will experience expansion in the range of processing and mechanical processes of plastic materials and resins to be used in an ever-increasing array of applications and end uses as well as continued changes to the type and form of polymers demanded, partly in line with increased demand for quality, efficiency and ecology.

In-depth industry market research presented in a logical and consistent format. Including 35 pages of insights covering industry conditions, key statistics, competitor analysis and market share, product and customer segmentation and a 5 year forecast.
