After a sharp drop in production due to COVID-19 in the first half of the year 2020, production has started to recover again in the second half of the year. Production of plastics in primary forms in the EU27 started to recover in June 2020. The recovery took place in the last quarter of 2020 and will continue in 2021. However the speed of recovery depends on the impact of the COVID-19 and on the demand for plastics from important customer industries like automotive or building and construction sectors.
The production level before the COVID-19 pandemic will not be reached before 2022.
