The plastic products industry is facing a challenging performance landscape characterized by volatile prices, declining capacity utilization and trade uncertainties. In 2021 and 2022, the producer price index for rubber and plastic products rose by 11.9% and 16.4%, respectively, due to supply chain disruptions and rising input costs like crude oil. This led to double-digit growth early in the period. However, in 2023 and 2024, the industry experienced declines driven by price and volume factors, impacting profitability through reduced capacity utilization. Despite growth experienced throughout the beginning of 2025, these challenges are expected to overturn the initial growth, leading to a projected five-year decline at a 0.1% CAGR during the current period, inhibited by an anticipated 3.0% regression in 2025, expecting revenue to drop to $121.5 billion by the end of 2025.
