The past year was not an easy one for companies in the German coatings and printing inks industry. After a corona-related difficult year in 2020, the main focus in 2021 was again on supply chain disruptions and high raw material prices. The annual digital booklet of the German Coatings and Printing Inks Industry Association (VdL) provides the exact statistics and figures.
Once again, the economics department of VdL has evaluated quarterly figures, statistics and calculations and summarized data from the German Federal Statistical Office and the service provider CHEM Research for the industry. In tables and graphs, the collection provides a detailed overview of the German market for coatings, inks and printing inks.
