Polymer Demand Dataset
Introducing our innovative data analysis tool
Unlock unparalleled efficiency in analysing downstream polymer markets with our innovative data analysis solution. Designed to save you valuable time and bolster your strategic planning, our tool provides comprehensive data on thermoplastics consumption across various regions, countries, sectors, and end-use applications.
Comprehensive coverage
Our dataset offers detailed insights into the demand for both virgin and recycled polymers, providing historic, current, and forecast volumes for all thermoplastic polymers.Watch our latest video to find out more.

Why is our data different?
Our expert knowledge of recycled polymer markets allow us to forecast recyclate inclusion by application. Our data is researched from both top-down and bottom-up methods and verified directly with the industry:
- Top-down: interviews with polymer producers and distributors, production volumes, trade statistics, industry data.
- Bottom-up: 5,000 interviews are carried out each year with plastics processors and OEMs to gather polymer demand data.
What's included in the data?
Polymer Demand is a dataset of virgin and recycled polymer consumption. Specifically, it presents tonnages for thermoplastics consumption by region, country, sector and end-use application. Tonnages are broken down for both virgin and recycled resins.
- Polymers: LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP, PVC, GPHI PS, EPS, ABS/SAN, PET, PBT, PA, PC, POM, PMMA, rLDPE, rLLDPE, rHDPE, rPP, rPVC, rPS, rEPS, rABS/SAN, rPET, rPBT, rPA, rPC, rPOM, and rPMMA
- Processes: Injection moulding, Blow moulding, Rotational moulding, Film extrusion, Sheet extrusion, Pipe extrusion, Profile extrusion, Fibre extrusion, Others

We have researched and analysed the European polymer market for you
Within the EU, the plastics industry is facing turbulence due to anti-plastic narratives and stringent regulations (PPWR). We see major demand shifts between virgin and recycled polymers, as well as many packaging markets seeing decline. However, in wider Europe, where legislation is not the key driver of change within the plastics industry, we see demand growing.
Our Polymer Demand Market Insights and Data Analytics Europe is crucial for helping you to navigate the differing polymer landscapes within Europe and see clearly areas of growth and decline.
In uncertain times, insight isn’t just useful — it’s your edge.
Three solutions from one comprehensive data source
The insight report: Expert analysis across key sectors of the plastics industry — from packaging and construction to automotive and beyond.
The data: Fully customisable country-by-country data that can be tailored to your precise requirements. Understand where polymers are being used, in what volumes, and how that demand is shifting.
The complete package: Insight report and full data set. Together, the data and insights deliver a powerful perspective, enabling you to anticipate change, build smarter strategies, and gain an edge in a complex, competitive environment.
