- Why does Russia have a plastic shortage?
- Travel is prohibited between cities, production lines have shut down, and group gathering spaces like malls are closed. 2 It all points to import/export restrictions on resins and lesser need for crude oil — foiling Russia’s ability to strategically rely on China, and contributing to the rising costs and turmoil of the plastics shortage.
- Does Russia have a decline in demand for plastic products?
- According to data of the Russian analyst agency Romir, the demand for plastic products in Russia has declined by 10-40 percent, depending on the product, compared with 2021. Russia's largest materials supplier, Sibur, agrees. "There is currently a decline in demand that varies across the industry," a Sibur executive said in an exclusive interview.
- What happened to Russia's largest plastics supplier?
- Russia’s largest materials supplier, Sibur, has seen the same drop. The Russian plastics industry is facing the deepest crisis in its modern history, as the military conflict with Ukraine has led to an almost complete suspension of imports of key raw materials, finished products and crucial technology.
- Will Russia's plastic industry be affected by a suspension of imports?
- According to the Russian Union of Plastic Processors — a public association for producers of finished plastic products — 95 percent of the industry's equipment is imported, much from Western countries. Analysts believe the suspension of imports may lead to catastrophic effects in the industry.
- Is there a shortage in the plastics industry?
- Isolated shortages in supply chains are not uncommon, and the plastics industry is no exception. Every few years we see a hurricane that shuts down refineries on the gulf coast or tight supply when a manufacturer’s plant is off-line for planned maintenance.
- Can Russia replace European and North American plastic companies?
- Other potential suppliers for the Russian plastics could be India and some Middle East and Asian states. But local analysts have serious doubts about the ability of these suppliers to completely replace European and North American companies. Most Russian plastic processors put big hopes on the expansion of state support in the coming months.
