The polymer industry plays a strategic role in the Russian industry: in 2024, the output of production of all types of plastics in primary forms exceeded 10.9 mil tonnes, which is 1.9% more than the result of 2023. In 2025, it is expected to launch and increase the capacity of several key production facilities at once: from the new ethylene complex of Nizhnekamskneftekhim to the first stage of the Baltic Chemical Complex. The total investments in major projects in the industry has already exceeded $15 bn, which indicates the high potential of the sector.
RELEVANCE
Active construction in 2024–2025: major projects (Baltcomplex, Amur Gas Chemical Complex, EP-600) are estimated at tens of billions of dollars in total and will provide millions of tonnes of additional capacity for polyethylene and polypropylene
Polymer production is expected to grow by +3–4% in 2025 compared to 2024
The growing demand for recyclable and biodegradable materials opens up prospects for niche investments
