According to the survey conducted by PIMI Portal, the investment statistics in raw materials and chemicals show considerable growth, however, the plastic industry bears witness to an all-over indices collapse.
The Iranian plastic industry witnessed, in the six-month interval (March 20-Sept. 21, 2015), Rls. 57,475/- billion in investment, 863 permits issued and occupation for 18,659 people whereas the same six-month interval (March 20-Sept. 21, 2016) saw Rls. 19,065/- billion (down 66.8%), 780 permits (down 9.6%) and occupation for 11.435 people (down 38.7%), respectively.
As reflected by the statistical figures above, the Iranian plastic industry, like many other industries here, suffers currently from investment slackness.
The statistics are briefed in the following table:
