In October 2024, China produced roughly 7.06 million metric tons of plastic products. Since January 2020, the highest monthly output of plastic products was recorded in December 2021, at 7.95 million metric tons.
With China's plastic export volume continuously growing over the past few decades, the industry has undergone a transition from quantity to quality; the future development of this industry is focusing more on technological innovation with eco-friendly concepts. This is partly due to consumers' health concerns as well as international environmental concerns.
