INVENTRA has the pleasure of inviting you to the Fourteenth International «Polyethylene 2017» Conference.
The past year has proved to be successful for the Russian polyethylene market. Producers of PE maintained their focus on supplies to local converting companies; the output volume was growing, while the range of available grades was expanding. This helped replace the imported material in many areas of application. At the same time, sharp feedstock price fluctuation is still a problem for the local customer. What will the PE producers’ pricing policy be and how will the assortment of grades change in 2017?
The trends in PE converting segments were ambiguous in 2016. For instance, production of plastic films and rigid packaging continued its growth: large companies invested in modernization of operations and developed new products. On the other hand, the polyethylene pipes market declined for the second year in a row. The main negative factor is stagnation in construction and utilities sector. The pipe segment will not return to the level of 2014 in the nearest future. What will the PE consumption structure in general look like in 2017?
The main topic of «Polyethylene 2017» Conference is development of PE converting market in Russia. What are the support and development measures the government has to offer for the PE market? What are the status and outlook for various converting sectors? How to establish effective relationships with customers? How real and feasible the export is?
