IHS Chemical World Polycarbonate and ABS Analysis offers a historical perspective on shifting world demand patterns for polycarbonate and ABS resins. In the late 1990s and early 2000’s, polycarbonate demand growth benefited from the expanding optical media sector (CDs and DVDs). New technologies have supplanted this sector, and yet polycarbonate producers continue to invest in large-scale plants, raising the question of which sectors and regions will supply future demand. Likewise, ABS demand grew on the heels of a strong Asian appliance sector, but with the global economic downturn and the exaggerated impact on the traditional demand sectors, ABS demand growth appears vulnerable.
In light of these changes, IHS Chemical World Polycarbonate and ABS Analysis examines supply, demand, production, capacity, pricing and profitability of the global polycarbonate and ABS industries over an 11-year period (five-year history, base year, five-year forecast), along with a value analysis of each industry by market segment. Commentary on the critical outlook for emerging economies as well as on the outlook for supply/demand and trade in major industrial economies rounds out this analysis.
Clients may Order IHS Chemical World Polycarbonate and ABS Analysis in book and CD-ROM format. Included is 12-month’s access to IHS Chemical’s online capacity and supply/demand databases, with updates to the capacity database as they occur and biannual updates to the supply/demand database.
