The consumption of plastic films in Russia annually totals more than 252,000 tonnes and is continuously rising, according to Abercade Consulting, a market research group of Moscow.
Polypropylene holds the largest share at around 29%, followed by multi-layer and combined films at 21.4%, polyethylene at 18% and PVC at 13.3%. Though paper still is ahead of plastics with 61% share of packaging consumption, compared to 22.6% for plastics, the consultants feel that the market has great potential.
