Plastic & Resin Manufacturing in Canada - Industry Market Research Report

Plastic & Resin Manufacturing in Canada

Plastic and resin manufacturers have undergone fluctuations in revenue because of various shifts in the economy. The pandemic placed downward pressure on revenue as many downstream markets that manufacturers cater to were either temporarily shut down or operating at a limited capacity. As the pandemic subsided, crude oil and natural gas prices skyrocketed, causing suppliers to raise prices on raw materials. Manufacturers were forced to charge higher prices and even sacrifice profit to maintain steady sales. Overall, revenue is expected to increase at a CAGR of 1.8% to $13.9 billion through the end of 2023. This includes a 3.4% decline in 2023, as the price of commodities is set to creep downward.
