Polymer distribution in Europe

26 June 2015

According to a new AMI report, polymer distribution in Europe has continued to grow resulting in approximately 12% of polymer materials sold in 2014, a proportion which is expected to increase in future as polymer suppliers aim to push more volumes through distribution channels to save costs and optimise their sales networks.
Issues affecting the industry include: continuing slow polymer demand growth particularly in Western Europe, ongoing consolidation among polymer suppliers, resulting in a merger of their respective distribution networks, increasing dominance of pan-European or international distributors squeezing out smaller distributors and volatility in prices and polymer supplies.
