About this industry
Industry definition
Die Branche bietet überwiegend eher einfach zu produzierende Produkte wie Kunststoffrohre und -folien an. Dennoch versuchen die meisten Branchenakteure, sich durch einen hohen Qualitätsgrad von der ausländischen Konkurrenz abzugrenzen, was aber immer schwerer wird, da diese zunehmend auch hochwertige Waren produziert. Die Branche ermöglicht nur bedingt, sich in Nischen auf bestimmte Produkte zu spezialisieren, die besonders margenträchtig sind. Umso wichtiger ist es für die Akteure der Branche, über ihre oftmals gegebene Nähe zu den Abnehmern zu punkten und umfassende Vertriebsstrukturen aufzubauen. Diese strategische Ausrichtung hat bis zum Ausbruch der Coronavirus-Pandemie dank der guten konjunkturellen Rahmenbedingungen zuverlässig funktioniert. Die Pandemie führte jedoch 2020 zu einem deutlichen Umsatzrückgang. Aktuell zeichnet sich der Trend ab, dass Investitionen in nachhaltige Materialien und Technologien an Bedeutung gewinnen, da Umweltbewusstsein und regulatorische Anforderungen stärker in den Fokus rücken. Durch das gestiegene Kunststoffpreisniveau wegen der erhöhten Materialkosten dürfte sich der Branchenumsatz im Jahr 2024 weiter erholen und um 0,5 % auf 33,3 Milliarden Euro anwachsen. Zwischen 2019 und 2024 ist der Umsatz um durchschnittlich 2,5 % pro Jahr gestiegen.
