The mission of NanoPolymer® is to increase the presence and influence of Georgian manufacturers in the domestic market, and to supply Georgian consumers with products manufactured by local companies to the highest standards.
NanoPolymer® aims to establish the principle in the plastic pipe industry that the highest-quality polypropylene pipes and fittings, manufactured to European standards, are 'Made in Georgia'.
The market for plastic pipes and fittings in Georgia is totally dominated by foreign manufacturers.
It is no secret that nowadats the Georgian market for plastic pipes and fittings, along with other industrial production segments, is almost entirely dominated by foreign brands. Specifically, various types of plastic pipes and fittings produced by German, Turkish, Russian, Romanian, Armenian are currently taking the biggest role in the local market. Of course, among these products, there are both high-quality and low-quality items. (For full information, click the arrow)
However, the overall picture for Georgians is not good when it comes to domestic production, based on Pro-Consulting's analysis of the plastic pipes and profiles market in Georgia, Serbia and Moldova (see 'The Market of Plastic Pipes and Profiles in Serbia, Moldova and Georgia', April 2024). The study covers market dynamics for the period 2019–2023 and reveals that Georgia's total consumption of single-use plastic products is around 612 units per year, equivalent to 3,900–5,900 tonnes. However, this study does not refer specifically to pipes. Detailed statistics on the share of local plastic pipe manufacturers can be found in these search results. However, the share of imported pipes constitutes an estimated 85-90% of the market. This is also aided by the fact that Georgia has a liberal customs system. Import duty from Turkey, the EU and CIS countries is 0% if a certificate of origin is provided; otherwise, it can be 5% or 12%. With such a liberal customs system, Georgia's growing market is dominated by imports from Turkey, the EU (Germany and Romania) and the CIS (Russia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Armenia), driven by active construction in Tbilisi and Batumi.
Thus, the overall market for plastic pipes and fittings in Georgia is significant due to its high consumption levels. Foreign manufacturers dominate this market. This indicates significant potential for growth in local plastic pipe production.
NanoPolymer® and other Georgian manufacturers are able to provide customers with products manufactured to the highest standards.
NanoPolymer® is confident that, with its help, other Georgian manufacturers can produce products that meet the highest standards, occupying a significant and worthy place in the domestic market and potentially transforming Georgia into a global player in the export market. These are precisely the goals that NanoPolymer® strives for, and the company's aspiration is to introduce and establish the principle in the plastic pipe industry that these high-quality polypropylene pipes and their fittings, manufactured to European standards, are "Made in Georgia" and that "we only offer the highest quality".
