MOSCOW (MRC) -- The output of finished products from polymers in Russia grew by 9.5% over the first nine months of 2014. Films production rose by more than 30%, whereas the construction sector showed negative results, reported MRC analysts.
September production of main products from polymers in Russia increased only by 2.2% from August due to a number of factors.
According to the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation, September output of non-combined and unreinforced films dropped to 108,000 tonnes versus 109,000 tonnes a month earlier. Thus, production of these products in Russia totalled 828,700 tonnes from January to September 2014, up by 30.1% year on year.
Last month's output of plates and sheets rose to 19,700 tonnes from 18,500 tonnes in August. The output of these products by Russian companies reached 163,700 tonnes over the said period, up by 1.4% year on year.
September production of plastic pipes, hoses and fittings reached 70,600 tonnes under the pressure of seasonal factors versus 55,800 tonnes in August. The overall production of these products reached 429,000 tonnes over the first nine months of 2014, down by 6% year on year.
