The Taiwan Plastics Industry Association reports that because of the energy crisis the growth rate of the industry in 1974 was the lowest on record. But the situation has turned brighter since April 1975. The export business is recovering from the recession and orders for the plastic products have been gradually increasing.
據台灣區塑膠工業同業公會表示，由於能源危機，民國六十三年是台灣塑膠工業成長率最低的一年，去年四月起情況好轉，國內外銷事業復趨活躍，塑膠業的訂單也逐日增加，因此本年來，外銷的金額，皆比去年同期有顯著的增加。
