Share this article

At the 2022 FlexPO+, (now incorporated into the ADI Forum), Uday Turaga, CEO, ADI Analytics, provided a comprehensive overview of the plastics and polymers market, providing an outlook of the market trends and insights for 2022. Key topics included the chemical industry’s underperformance despite long-term gains, driven by challenging feedstock costs and overcapacity from China. Growth opportunities existed in mega-trends like 5G and the increasing demand for customized products. Capital spending was rising but faced competition from decarbonization and recycling projects, while the industry’s strong tie to natural gas posed a risk.
