The Market Place
The plastics & polymers industry in India has been growing at a healthy rate of 14-15% per annum. Despite this significant growth in demand of petrochemicals, the per capita consumption in India is still far below the world average. This means there are immense opportunities for growth and investment (including FDI) in the coming years. According to the Indian Plastics Federation, by 2010 Indian demands for polymers will increase to 12.5 million tonnes/year, making the country the third largest global consumer after the US and China. Moreover, to fill the needs for higher levels of processing machinery, the plastic sector will require large number of injection / blow moulding and extrusion machines.
