POLAND - AN IDEAL MARKET

The success of the show is reflected by the growth of the plastics industry in Poland. In 2006 nearly 2 million tonnes of plastics were processed in Poland. Poland’s entry into the EU boosted the economy which helped sustain polymer demand growth of over 7% between 2005 and 2006. Demand was strong across all sectors and applications but particularly packaging, appliances, consumer electronics and automotive. The Polish plastics industry is now the largest in the Central European region in terms of both production and consumption levels and the plastics industry in Poland has grown at an astounding average rate of 13% for the last five years.

Poland is one of the largest consumer markets in Europe and with a population of nearly 40 million, the country offers significant opportunities to UK companies and is a region that mustn't be ignored!
