ABS resins consumption in Russia to reach historical peak

Only 25% of consumed materials fall at single domestic producer of ABS resins – Plastik, Uzlovaya (Group of companies SIBUR). The deficit of materials in the market - 37.5 KT – was compensated by import supplies.

More than 50%  of imported ABS resins in Russia fall at South Korean materials (Samsung and LG Chem). In 2010 consumption of materials from these producers doubled to 20 KT. Main volumes of supplies referred to the sector of electrical goods and car components.

According to Federal State Statistics Service data over January-November 2010, production of  electrical goods, electrical and optical equipment compared to the same period in 2009 increased by 33.5%, while production of vehicles and equipment – up in 2.8 times.
