The production value of plastics products in Austria has shown a general upward trend, reaching 6.88 billion euros in 2023, with fluctuations indicative of both economic and market-specific factors. Over the last two years, the production value saw a modest increase of 2.16% in 2022 and 2.09% in 2023.
