Russia-Ukraine impact on regional polyolefins

Escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict has changed the regional landscape for 2022. The outlook is now less secure and risks to growth have increased. The Russian economy has now been disrupted with a wide range of sanctions that have implications to regional demand and to trade, and the fall-out is expected to persevere. While the full impact of the conflict is yet to be established, we will highlight key areas of risk that could determine the future direction of regional polyethylene and polypropylene markets. In this insight the Wood Mackenzie's Polyolefins team will take a closer look at the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and highlight the risks to key polyolefins markets.
