Adaptability

Overall, the plastics material and resin manufacturing industry has a moderate risk of AI displacement. While there are opportunities for AI integration, particularly in process optimization and quality control, the need for specialized skills and regulatory considerations present challenges. Significant strides in adaptability and technological integration are being made, but full automation is not yet feasible for all aspects of the industry.
