Despite crises and conflicts, nearly 57 million tonnes of plastics were sold in Europe last year, around 3 million tonnes more than in 2015.

Manufacturers of paints and coatings are particularly dependent on the construction industry, but benefit less directly from government support programs than producers of insulation materials, for example.

Ceresana has analyzed the world market for plastics additives: Fillers, plasticizers, pigments and dyes, flame retardants, antioxidants, light stabilizers and heat stabilizers, but also, for example, foaming agents, impact modifiers and lubricants.

Insulation manufacturers and processors can benefit from investments in energy efficiency and energy saving.

This is the sixth time Ceresana has analyzed the world market for plasticizers.

The war over Ukraine and the ongoing corona lockdowns in China are also directly or indirectly affecting plastic pipe manufacturers.

For the seventh time, Ceresana has analyzed the global market for all types of fire retardants: including brominated and chlorinated flame retardants as well as ATH, organophosphorus, ATO and other additives.

Ceresana expects the global filler market to grow at an average annual rate of 4.8%

Ceresana has analyzed the European market for windows and doors that are used in buildings.

Ceresana has analyzed the world market for titanium dioxide (TiO2) for the fourth time, including the entire value chain from raw materials to end customers.
