Market Study: Plastics - World
For the first time, the market research institute Ceresana analyzed the whole world market for all commercially important plastics in one big study, from standard products up to high-performance engineering materials.
The Study in Brief:
Chapter 1 provides a thorough presentation and analysis of the market for plastics – including forecasts up to 2024: Demand development as well as revenues and production volumes are analyzed for each individual region.
Chapter 2 looks at 25 individual countries, from Germany up to South Africa. Data on demand and production split by types of plastics as well as revenues, import, and export are provided for each country. Furthermore, demand split by individual application areas is analyzed.
Chapter 3 deals with the applications of plastics in detail, including flexible packaging, rigid packaging, construction, transportation, electrical and electronics, industrial products as well as other applications. This chapter examines the demand per country split by the respective sales market.
Chapter 4 looks at the several types of plastics: polyethylene (LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), expandable polystyrene (EPS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyurethane (PUR), and other engineering plastics. Demand development of the individual plastics per country are examined.
Chapter 5 provides useful company profiles of the largest producers of plastics, clearly arranged according to contact details, turnover, profit, product range, production sites, capacities, and profile summary. Extensive profiles of 85 manufacturers are given, including BASF SE, Exxon Mobil Corp., The Dow Chemical Company, Total S.A., DuPont (E.I.) De Nemours, Saudi Basic Industries Corp.
