Introduction & Scope

INTRODUCTION
Plastics are widely used in both developed and developing countries. The U.S. had been the world's largest producer and user of plastics for decades until it was surpassed by China in recent years. In 2009, China's average plastics consumption reached 46 kg per capita, overtaking the world's average for the first time. Although still being far behind the North American level of approximate 170 kg per capita, China became the world's No. 1 plastic consuming country.

While China will have huge potential for the growth in both consumption and production, the U.S. remains competitive. Abundant and cheap natural gas feedstock from hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") of tight gas shales will provide the opportunity for large petrochemical and polymer companies to re-building their U.S. plants. In Europe, Asia and other regions, plastics production and consumption also continue to grow.
