Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) Launches New Plastics Demand Estimate Report

The report will now be released monthly by PLASTICS.

SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) has released the inaugural Plastics Demand Estimate Report. The report estimates the plastic demand estimate for May 2024 in the U.S. The monthly estimate for plastics products demand, serves as a valuable indicator for plastics processors and the entire plastics industry supply chain. The report will now be released monthly by PLASTICS.

“The Plastics Demand Estimate is a great new set of data that provides helpful market intelligence to our members and the industry at large. This is the only plastics demand estimate available monthly and I’m proud of our Chief Economist Perc Pineda’s work on putting this together,” said Matt Seaholm, President and CEO of PLASTICS.

“While demand will continue to vary monthly, the year-over-year change in plastics demand at current prices and real demand, adjusted for inflation, has been more aligned in recent periods compared to 2021 and 2022,” said Perc Pineda, PhD, PLASTICS’ Chief Economist.
