Market Study: Plasticizers (4th edition)
Large amounts of plasticizers are processed to make brittle plastics, elastomers, paints and varnishes, as well as adhesives smooth, flexible or even useful in the first place. The latest, already fourth, plasticizer report by the market research company Ceresana forecasts the demand for this controversial but so far indispensable material to increase to about 9.75 billion tonnes worldwide until 2024.
The Study in Brief:
Chapter 1 provides a presentation and analysis of the global plasticizer market – including forecasts up to 2024: Demand and revenues will be examined for each region of the world. The plasticizer types DEHP, DINP, and DIDP, other phthalates, and non-phthalates are included.
Chapter 2 offers demand and revenue data for 45 countries in total. Additionally, demand is split by the applications profiles, films, cables, floorings, other plastics, elastomers, paints & varnishes, and adhesives for the individual countries.
Chapter 3 offers a well-founded analysis of the application areas of plasticizers: Data on demand development, split by the seven world regions Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa are given.
Chapter 4 provides useful profiles of the largest manufacturers of plasticizers – clearly arranged according to contact details, turnover, profit, product range, production sites, and profile summary. In-depth profiles of 79 producers are given, including Adeka Corporation, Arkema S.A., BASF SE, Clariant International Ltd., Croda International Plc., Dow Chemical Company, Eastman Chemical Company, Jungbunzlauer AG, Koninklijke DSM N.V., Lanxess AG, Mexichem, S.A.B. de C.V., PolyOne Corporation, Roquette, and Songwon Industrial Co., Ltd.
