The 11th ICIS World Polyolefins Conference: Uncovering the trends shaping the future of polyolefins

Uniting key decision-makers from the polyethylene and polypropylene value chains, the 11th ICIS World Polyolefins Conference offers you the chance to dive into critical market dynamics, negotiate strategic deals, and build connections that drive real impact.

The global polyolefins market is navigating significant challenges, with oversupply pressures driving European production cuts. As capacity shifts to Asia and North America, industry collaboration has never been more crucial. Yet, innovation is paving the way forward. Specialty plastics with enhanced performance, offering everything from improved flexibility to increased durability, are opening doors to new applications. Meanwhile, the focus on reducing environmental impact is stronger than ever, with advances in bio-based feedstocks, recyclable design, and state-of-the-art recycling technologies.

These changes bring vital questions for the future of the market. This year’s event will be held on 8-9 April 2025, in Cologne, marking our first time in this vibrant city. The 11th ICIS World Polyolefins Conference is the must-attend event to shape your strategy and stay ahead of industry trends.
