December 03/2010
MOSCOW (MRC) -- In October ABS supplies to the Russian market
fell to the level of 3.84 KT at the expense of production suspension at
Plastic (Uzlovaya), according to MRC
DataScope.
As a whole, ABS market is demonstrating positive dynamics this
year. January-October supplies of ABS exceeded 40 KT which is 79% more
compared to the same period last year.
Still more than 75% of consumed plastics
are imported from Asia and Europe. About 25% of the total volume of consumed ABS–plastics fall at the
production of auto-parts.
It is expected that the Russian
government decision about extension of customs for cars imports will
result in growing consumption of ABS-plastics in the Russian market.
