Plastic material production worldwide 2023, by region

China accounted for 33 percent of global plastic materials production in 2023, making it the world's largest plastic producer by far. The rest of Asia accounted for an additional 19 percent while North America held another 17 percent share of global plastic production. The total worldwide production of plastics surpassed 400 million metric tons in 2022. Plastic: the material to replace manyPlastics are used in almost every segment of life – from everyday life to industrial applications. On a global level, plastics have displaced many traditional materials, such as wood, stone, horn and bone, leather, paper, metal, glass, and ceramic. Global plastics use is projected to continue rising over the coming decades to reach more than 1.2 billion metric tons by 2060. China: the plastic leaderAs the leading manufacturing economy and exporter of goods in the world, it is not surprising that China is the world’s largest producer of plastic as well. China's monthly production of plastics ranges between six and 12 million metric tons.

2023年，中国在全球塑料材料产量中占据了33%的份额，迄今为止已成为全球最大的塑料生产国。亚洲其他地区占全球塑料产量的额外19%，而北美则占据了17%的份额。2022年，全球塑料的总产量已超过4亿吨。塑料，替代众多传统材料的材料：塑料几乎应用于生活的各个领域，从日常生活的方方面面到工业应用。在全球范围内，塑料已经取代了许多传统材料，如木材、石材、角和骨、皮革、纸张、金属、玻璃和陶瓷等。预计未来几十年，全球塑料的使用量将继续增长，到2060年将超过12亿吨。中国：塑料领域的领导者：作为中国世界领先的制造业经济和商品出口国，中国成为全球最大的塑料生产国毫不意外。中国塑料的月产量介于600万至1200万吨之间。
