Earlier Report Observations

Between 2019 and 2020, the Spanish plastic builders' wares market showed modest growth, reaching 838 million US dollars, within an industry structure dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises across machinery manufacturing, plastic transformation, and recycling.

A sharp 55% increase to 1.3 billion US dollars occurred in 2021, driven by soaring energy and raw material costs alongside supply chain disruptions that elevated market prices.

Growth slowed to 0.8% in 2022 as new waste and packaging laws came into force, introducing taxes on non-recycled single-use plastics and extending producer responsibility, which raised operational costs while the construction sector maintained significant demand.
