Technology Watch: Plastics 

Relevant data on technological development issues (mainly patents) for innovative technologies in the plastics sector.

TOP DEVELOPING COUNTRIES 

Below is a map with the most representative countries in the development of each innovative trend in the plastics sector.  

Who is at the forefront of technological development? 

Next, we will observe the geographical distribution of patents based on two indicators:  

  1. Number of protection records by origin (origin of inventors and developer organizations): This indicator shows the degree of innovation, as well as places with robust research and development systems on the subject.
  1. Number of registrations by destination of protection (potential target markets): This indicator is of vital importance to know the established markets where the commercialization of products can be sustainable.

Top 20: Top Tech Developers vs. Potential target markets (protection destinations).
