The timing and the general conditions are extremely good:

• Chemical industry is growing: Growth is being driven above all by the construction sector and the automotive industry. The rise in production in the chemical industry was about 17 % during the fi rst three quarters of 2010.
• New plants under construction or planned: To satisfy rising demand, there is a substantial move to boost the construction of plants in plastics production.
• Focus on nanotechnology: Russia is creating a network of foundation centres for nano products – probably in seven locations. Government investments in development and equipment are approx. EUR 500m.
• Imports heading for growth: The rise in Russian imports from non-CIS countries was 42.9 % during the first two months of 2011 compared with the same period last year, reaching $28.542 billion in all. European manufacturers are among the most important exporters of plastics and rubber machinery to Russia.
• Stimuli through international events: Market developments are affected by strong selling events such as the Winter Olympics in Sochi (2014) and the Football World Championship (2018) which will probably be held at 13 different geographical locations in the European part of Russia.
