Abstract
Highlights
This report:
- Covers the polymer alloy/blend competitive scene
- Analyzes the markets for competitive resins and their major applications
- Includes market projections from 2008 to 2013
- Evaluates market penetration in major industries utilizing these types of
resins, e.g., automotive, electronic components, electronic enclosures,
appliances, medical, lawn/garden equipment, and sports/recreation products.
Scope and Analyst
INTRODUCTION
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The objective of this study is to provide a detailed analysis of engineering
resins along with polymer alloys/blends. Usage of these resins will be
segmented into a wide variety of applications and analyses, and will include
some intracompetition of these resins among themselves along with selected
commodity thermoplastics and thermosets.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
Traditional engineering resins and polymer alloys/blends have been
“around” for decades and, yet, there are few studies that analyze
in detail all of the major materials involved in terms of plant capacities,
markets by application, new technologies and products, and rationales for
anticipated growth.
There have been a great many changes in terms of producers/suppliers,
products, grades, applications, competitive materials, technologies, and the
ever-increasing “offshore” scenario. Some of these changes are the
result of a great many corporate changes, which have become the
“norm” in many industries.
As a result, there is clearly a need for a detailed reappraisal of the market
dynamics of the engineering resin and polymer alloy/blend market.
SCOPE OF REPORT
In this report, engineering resins include traditional varieties such as
nylons, polycarbonates, polyacetals, (reinforced) polyethylene terephthalate
or PET, and poly(butylene terephthalate) or PBT, along with alloys/blends,
such as polycarbonate-ABS alloy/blend (PC/ABS), PPO-HIPS alloy/blend
(PPO/HIPS), PPO-nylon alloy/blend (PPO/nylon), and polycarbonate-PBT
alloy/blend (PC/PBT). Higher-performance engineering resins include
polysulfones, poly(phenylene-sulfide), polyimides, polyketones, and liquid
crystal polymers.
The key applications covered include automotive segmented by under-the-hood,
external and interior products; electrical/electronic markets; medical
devices/products; building/construction materials; appliances; electronic
enclosures; plastic rigid food packaging; and several key smaller markets such
as optical lenses, aviation products, etc.
METHODOLOGY
A comprehensive review was undertaken of literature relating to engineering
resins, their applications and technology, and significant new development.
Included in the review were supplier trade literature, texts, and monographs.
Following collection and analysis of this information, interviews were
conducted with producers, suppliers, and molders of engineering resins along
with representatives of the trade press.
