PLASTICS recently released our annual Global Trends report during a press briefing and keynote address at PLASTIMAGEN® MÉXICO.
“According to the World Trade Organization (WTO), global trade volume expanded by 2.7% in 2022. The remarkable 9.7% growth in the U.S. plastics industry’s trade volume for 2022, surpassing global merchandise trade, underscores the strong global demand for plastics,” said Dr. Perc Pineda, PhD, PLASTICS’ Chief Economist.
“The U.S. plastics industry remaining a key player in the global plastics trade shows the importance of our industry and the essential nature of plastics,” said PLASTICS President and CEO, Matt Seaholm.
An executive summary and the full PLASTICS Global Trends report is available to PLASTICS members online.
