I. Introduction
For this study about plasticisers (AE: plasticizers) extensive data about the market was collected and analysed. In the presentation of the relevant information great emphasis was placed on methodology, conciseness and comprehensibility.
One of the reasons for the creation of this study was the lack of an integrated work about plasticisers which took the market participants, the products, and the legal position as well as environmental and health concerns into account. This gap is now bridged by this market study.
The work appeals to the decision makers in the plasticiser industry as well as those in the preliminary and downstream markets, such as the synthetic or rubber industries. The study is also a guide for representatives from organisations and institutions, as well as for specialists from the financial and advisory branches. The study contributes to a better understanding of the plasticiser market, which is influenced by, and interdependent on, many various factors. Great emphasis was placed on the formulation of substantiated prognoses, to give the reader a basis upon which to make future decisions. Much of the data is based upon the answers to a questionnaire, which was sent to manufacturers of plasticisers. The results from interviews with business and association representatives are also included in the market study. Finally, the available literature on this topic was studied in depth and evaluated. For all of those who are interested in the economic context of the plasticiser market, this market study constitutes a unique possibility of quick and reliable access to data. This study of the plasticiser market provides you with the crucial information for a head start when establishing or adding to your own data or analyses.
Plasticisers, rank among the most used chemicals in the world. The PVC, varnish and glue industries add plasticisers to make their final products soft and elastic. About 5.5 million tonnes with a total value of over 7 billion Euro are produced and used annually. We all come into daily contact with plasticisers. This study of the plasticiser market is structured as follows:
In the first chapter the competitive forces, which affect the market will be identified. The differing development and prospects of the market in Europe, the USA, Asia and the rest of the world are set out and explained. Reasons will be given why Asia and especially China rank among the future leaders of the plasticiser market.
The second chapter deals with the areas of application of plasticisers. The areas of application, in which various products are plasticized with the addition of plasticisers, are shown. In this chapter the suitability and the mode of operation of the individual plastic factors, e.g. in plastic, paint and glue mixtures, are dealt with in great detail. For a better overview, all the plasticisers are described and their areas of application are summarised in a table. In the third chapter the production and the required preliminary products of the relevant plasticisers are described.
The fourth chapter contains an overview of the most important plasticisers. The producers and trade names of the respective products are also mentioned. The areas of application and the technical properties of the plasticisers are also highlighted.
In the following chapter the effects of plasticisers on humans and on the environment are discussed. The sixth chapter deals with legal issues. The chapter contains a summary of the multitude of laws which regulate the use of plasticisers in various countries.
In the final chapter the plasticiser manufacturers are highlighted in more detail. General key corporate data and the assortment of plasticisers available, along with their trade names are dealt with.
