Earlier Report Observations

The Swedish market for cellular PVC plates, sheets, film, foil and strip contracted sharply from 2020 to 2023, with physical volume falling from 4 207 t to 1 229 t and market value dropping from $68.3 million to $19.8 million. This pronounced decline indicated a major reduction in domestic consumption over these years.

In 2024, the market volume stabilized at 1 191 t, while its value rose to $22.3 million. This coincided with the introduction of stringent environmental rules, including a national ban on disposable cups containing over 15% plastic and reinforced producer responsibility for packaging, which restricted demand for single-use plastic products and encouraged a shift toward reusable or recyclable alternatives in the packaging segment.
