The European PET industry has witnessed a turbulent few years. A period of investment and growth, in which new production projects emerged, was followed by a downturn caused by a depressed economy and reduced demand. The current trading environment continues to face difficulties with many challenges still remaining.
• Asia’s failed cotton harvest in 2010 caused massive, sustained growth in the region’s synthetic fibre industry. How will this affect feedstock prices in Europe?
• Turkey’s conversion industry has been growing rapidly over the last few years. Will this growth continue, and what impact will it have on the EU market?
• New production projects in the Middle East mean large amounts of PET to export. How will this affect supply to Europe?
• The use of recycled PET is on the up. What impact will this have on demand for virgin PET?
All these questions and more will be answered at ICIS’ PET Value Chain: Unlocking the Potential. A highly focussed agenda, presented by a top line-up of industry experts will ensure you are equipped with the tools and knowledge to overcome the obstacles that will present themselves in 2013.
For those looking to strengthen their position in Europe’s PET industry, this is the must attend event of the year.
