Präsentationsnotizen
Welt Die Aussichten für die Weltwirtschaft für sind gut. Getrieben wird dieses Wachstum vor allem von den guten Wachstumsraten in den USA. EU Im Euroraum bleibt es bei einer sehr schwachen Wirtschaftsentwicklung mit der Möglichkeit des Rückfalls in die Rezession. Besonders in Frankreich und Italien stehen die notwendigen Strukturreformen noch aus. USA Höhere Vermögenspreise, Beschäftigungsgewinne und der Wegfall fiskalischer Belastungen verbessern das Konsumklima. Im Zuge des steigenden Konsums erhöhen sich die Investitionen. Das mittelfristige Wachstumspotential ist aber noch gering. Asien In China versucht die Regierung mit Reformen die hohe Verschuldung abzubauen. Das hemmt kurzfristig das Wachstumspotential. Dagegen wirkt die expansive Geldpolitik, die ein Wachstum so um die 7% garantiert. Dies gefährdet gleichzeitig die Reformerfolg. Brasilien und Russland befinden sich in der Rezession. Deutschland Schaches 2. Quartal, Schwäche des EU Raumes wirkt sich aus. BIP Schätzung 2014 noch sehr optimistisch.

Global Economic Development: What‘s next?

• The US economy remains the growth engine for the world in 2015 and 2016.

• The growth in China slows down.

• South and Latin America struggle with structural problems and the continuing weakness of the investment climate

• Structural adjustments in southern-European countries showed first positive effects in 2014.

• 2015/16: Global GDP growth will be moderate again.

Competitiveness - Oxford Economics

• Oxford Economics and the European Chemical Industry Council (cefic) started the project in 2013

• October 2014, the final report was released

• The purpose was to evaluate the competitiveness of the European chemical sector compared to other countries since 1991

• Identify the main drivers behind competitiveness and their influence

• Polymers, as a major sub-sector of the chemical industry, was also analyzed

Competitiveness - Oxford Economics

• The European chemical sector is the seconded-largest global chemical sector worldwide (€527 billion in sales 2013)

• The majority of the decrease in extra-EU export market share of the EU chemical sector observed over the last 20 years is due to declining competitiveness

• China, Saudi Arabia and India became equal competitors. Europe’s decline of competitiveness is lager than that of the USA in the chemical sector

• Polymers and Petrochemicals lost more competitiveness than any other chemical industry sector or sub-sector

• There are political and economic reasons for the decrease in export market share, such as high energy costs, lagging innovations, currency appreciation, high labor costs, regulatory and tax burdens

Factors that are important to industrial competitiveness. Main results: The competiveness of the European polymer sector is highly positive influenced by long-term innovation and sector investments. However, high energy prices are worsening the competiveness. The competiveness of the European polymer sector is highly positive influenced by both, short and long-term, innovation as well as sector investment. High energy prices and labor costs are worsening the competiveness. Guidance for the table: += competiveness rise if the driver is raised = competiveness decrease if the driver is raised quantity: how strong the influence is Some Extra information: Natural gas: Since mid-2000 prices decreased in the US Europe & Japan have to deal with strongly rising prices Electricity: Since 2000, the electricity price in Germany increased by 8.5 p.a., due to political intervention US: 0.4 p.a. R&D: Since 1995 global R&D spending has tripled (1995: 38.8 Bio. Euro; 2013: 112.2 Bio. Euro) 1995: 92% came from EU28, USA, Japan 2013: 64% came from EU28, USA, Japan R&D intensity: In the mid- 1990 the German chemical industry started reducing the share of sales re-invested in R&D

Europe (EU 28)Competiveness of Polymer Industry

• Europe lost export market share, due to losses of competitiveness

• Since 2003 the European polymers could profit from a positive structural effect

• Nevertheless, the global export market share diminish from 17% in the early 2000s to 13% in 2012

• Reasons for the ebbing competitiveness are lower feedstock and energy prices in US and Saudi-Arabia

Drivers of Competiveness Natural gas prices

• The shale gas boom in the US has opened up a wide gap in natural gas costs relative else where in the world

• US prices are now just one-third of European levels

• Japan is in a worse situation, because the reduction of nuclear energy capacity in the wake of the Fukushima disaster has dramatically increased demand for fossil-fuelbased electricity generation.

Drivers of Competiveness R&D spending

• There has been a secular decline in chemical sector R&D intensity over the past 20 years in the developed world, although patterns in individual countries vary

• But perhaps the most surprising trend is China, where R&D intensity increases dramatically in the early 2000s as China entered the WTO

9 countries in Europe reached a recovery ratio of more than 95% of the Post-consumer Plastic Waste.

These countries have a landfill ban.

Also 6 of these countries are amongst the 11 countries with the highest recycling rates (>30%).

Therefore „divert from landfill“ boosts higher recovery and recyclingquantities, also of waste streams, which have not been recovered so far.Overall recovery ratio

Total plastics waste and recovery 2006 - 2014

In the period 2006-2014 the analysis of waste generation shows a slight growth. Besides economical impacts, plastic parts with lower weight (e.g. plastic bottles) play a significant role in that process. After the economical crisis, the waste quantity rose from 2009 to 2014 by about 1.7 mill. tons during the last five years. While disposal quantities decreased by ~4.9 million tons in the last eight years, recovery quantities rose by 6.2 mio. tons up to 17.9 mio. tons.

In January 2013, Eurostat has changed to base year 2010 for production indices. Production index is presented as working day adjusted and "Trend-cycle“. The Trend-cycle is calculated by smoothing averages from working-day and seasonally adjusted data. For the production forecast, figures have been seasonally adjusted by using the FERI add-in.

PMI: The Purchasing Managers Index by Markit is derived from monthly surveys of private sector companies. It includes over 30 countries. PMI is a very important sentiment reading.

GDP real: Gross Domestic Product at 2000 prices and exchange rates, seasonally adjusted

Ifo World Economic Climate: Since 1981 the Ifo Institute has conducted a quarterly survey in numerous countries on business cycle developments and other economic factors in the experts’ home countries. The January 2013 survey received responses from 1,169 experts in 124 countries.

Production index (base year 2005 = 100) is presented as "working-day-adjusted" and as "Trend-cycle“. The Trend-cycle is calculated by smoothing averages from working-day and seasonally adjusted data. Eurostat uses statistically and internationally accepted methods (Census X-12) for the seasonal adjustment of time series. With first publication of production indices for 2012, Eurostat changed from a direct to an indirect method of seasonal adjustment. The new method is applied to the complete time-series of production indices. This also affects data before 2012.

The producer price index for the plastics industry (base year 2005 = 100) measures the average price development of all goods resulting from that activity that are sold on the domestic market and foreign markets. The producer price index for the plastics industry is divided by Nace C2016 (Plastics in Primary Forms), C222 (Manufacture of Plastics Products) and C296 (Plastics Machinery incl. Rubber)

GDP real: Gross Domestic Product at 2000 prices and exchange rates, seasonally adjusted

Business Surveys: The results of the business surveys are based on representative samples of companies in the EU27 Plastics Products Industry (incl. Rubber Industry). Managers' answers obtained from the surveys are aggregated in the form of "Balances". Balances are constructed as the difference between the percentages of respondents giving positive and negative replies. The EU Commission seasonally adjusts the balance series.
