Andrei Kryukov noted that one of the advantages of Sloplast is a production chain closed in the domestic market and wide possibilities for using HPL-plastic (High Pressure Laminates). According to him, it is planned to increase production capacity to expand the range of products.

In his opinion, the sector has significant growth potential, given the low per capita penetration of material in Russia compared to European markets. In the future, the turnover of the HPL plastics market in the Russian Federation may grow to 58 billion rubles or 66 million square meters. m, including through the replacement of imports.

Mikhail Katsevma, vice president of the Russian Union of Chemists, pointed to the availability of raw materials for the production of layered plastics as one of the main advantages. However, he noted that in the future, HPL plastics may be supplanted by greener materials such as polycarbonate, ABS plastic and polypropylene, especially in non-combustible versions, which already occupy a significant market share in Western countries.^[1]
