The European polyamide market is going through unprecedented times as it grapples with rising energy and feedstock prices, as well as declining consumption levels with lower demand from almost all application segments (including automotive, construction, fibres and E&E). Coupled with the growing emphasis on sustainability, recycling and the circular economy, this is a challenging period for the polyamide market in Europe.
Is 2024 the year that the polyamide segment looks to emerge from the crisis tunnel? The industry needs to adapt to the new market reality, to innovate and invest in new technologies and processes to meet the new market demands and requirements with regards to economic sustainability and a circular economy.
The Wood Mackenzie European Polyamide Conference takes place at the Kap Europa Congress Center in Frankfurt, Germany on 13-14 March 2024, combining integrated analysis across the polyamide value chain with sessions focused on feedstocks, polymers, and key application markets, deep dives into emerging trends and technologies.
Themes for 2024 include:
- Is there any hope for the European polyamide industry?
- Is the polyamide profitability gone?
- What can we expect in the coming years?
- Will China's importation threat permanently change the European polyamide market?
- What are the future polyamide price trends and forecasts?
- Who will be the winners and losers of the current situation
- Is the circular economy a threat or an opportunity for the polyamide industry?
