Q4. What procedures are used when conducting customized research in this field?

Conducting customized market research and providing strategy consultancy necessitates thorough conversations with all stakeholders with in the value chain . The category of respondents comprises companies that supply raw materials, such as engineering and commodity plastics, fiberglass, and chemicals, such as compounders, plastic processors,  suppliers of master batches, distribution channels, suppliers of moulding equipment, government agencies, industry associations, and research institutions.

Q5. How crucial is it to analyze the supply chain and distribution system when conducting research in the plastics and composites industry?

This industry uses a combination of direct supply  and  distribution channels.  The majority of domestic and imported raw material providers have good nationwide distribution networks that enable them to supply small and medium-sized plastic processors spread across several Indian regions with the raw materials they need. Large processors, however, benefit from direct delivery from raw material providers. When it comes to plastic and composite goods, which are used in the engineering and automotive industries, procurement occurs through nationwide component manufacturers. The producers of plastic molding machinery work closely with processors and big distribution centers, handling both domestic and foreign machinery.
