After the widely successful launch of Plasteurope.com’s poll on the European plastics industry’s business performance and outlook in 2019, the Plasteurope.com Readers Survey is back with its seventh edition and is open until 14 January 2022. We invite you to spend just a few minutes to answer some short questions that will help you, and us, gain insight into the current mood of the industry and help shape the outlook for H1 2022. To dig deeper into the cost explosions all over the world and the heavy push for a circular economy, the latest survey also features insightful questions on the subjects. What do you have to gain from it? As a participant, you will receive an executive summary and access to the exclusive evaluation with details of the results.

Now, more than ever, it has become essential to have a barometer to help understand the dynamic situation in the plastics industry. According to the previous Plasteurope.com Readers Survey, held in mid-2021, more than a third of European industry players said they felt that the worst of coronavirus-related problems were yet to come. Over half of respondents predicted the supply situation in global plastics markets would improve towards the end of 2021 (see Plasteurope.com of 30.07.2021). How the industry as a whole views the current environment will likely provide valuable insight for managers.

In the midst of the energy-surcharge debate, short polymer supply, and Omicron-related fears and restrictions, it will be interesting to see how the industry expects to overcome these hurdles in H1 2022. As always, the survey aims to put the sector’s complex situation in context and help our readers make better business decisions.
