Summary An industrial perspective on the present and future role of kinetic and process models in the polymer industry is presented. A number of selected examples illustrate the current value of model‐based approaches in supporting and accelerating tasks like process optimization, product development and design of polymerization reactors. In addition, future trends for the application of models in the polymer industry are discussed and areas where further improvement is thought to be needed are carefully underlined.
