Other Plastic Product Manufacturing in Germany Industry Data and Analysis
In recent years, the German plastics industry has increasingly focussed on the circular economy. The use of recycled materials in new products has increased significantly. Reducing dependence on fossil raw materials and strengthening security of supply are key objectives of this measure. However, the change requires high investments in technological adaptations, which has initially increased costs. The industry is endeavouring to achieve long-term efficiency gains through recycling processes, although rising energy prices and falling sales prices have recently led to a deterioration in earnings. Increasing import pressure from Asia and higher production and labour costs in Germany have further weakened the company's competitive position. Despite these uncertainties, industry sales have risen by 1.6% per year since 2020, as sales have slowly recovered due to the coronavirus pandemic.
