russia and india show the way
two of the world’s largest emerging economies – india and russia – are set to kick off the 2012 round of international plastics trade fairs. the annual russian plastics show – interplastica – will be held in Moscow on 24-27 of January. Just a few days later, Plastindia opens its doors in new delhi (the show runs from 1-6 February).
Many of the world’s leading plastics industry players
will be present at both trade shows. However, if you are also planning to attend both be warned you will need to pack two very different sets of clothing – the average temperature in Moscow in January is -8˚c while new delhi typically sees temperatures of around +20 ˚c.
The markets in numbers Both russia and india, with fast growing economies and populations of around 140m and 1,170m respectively, are key markets for the world’s producers of plastics and rubber materials and machinery. According to the world Bank, russian GdP growth was running at around 4.4% last year and is expected to

slow only slightly to 4.0% in 2012. while considerably ahead of growth predictions for most developed economies, this figure compares rather poorly with the growth rates of countries such as china at 9.0% or more. the headline figure, however, hides rapid gains in russia’s manufacturing sector, which is expected to grow at more than 13% this year. GdP growth in india has been running at near 10% a
year, according to world Bank data, and is expected to expand at rates above 7% until at least 2013. According to the Plastindia show organisers, consumption of plastics in india will rise to 15m tonnes by 2015. Growth in the processing sector will be similarly dynamic – while the number of machines used for plastic and rubber processing was estimated at around 69,000 in 2009 it is expected to reach 150,000 by 2020. this expansion is driven by key industries such as packaging and automotive. According to the German machinery makers’
association VdMA, russia is the third largest export market for German plastics and rubber machinery
