REPORT SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides an introduction to this report, describing the study
goals and objectives, reasons for doing the study, intended audience, scope,
methodology, information sources, and analyst credentials for along with an
introduction to BCC online services and disclaimer.
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The goal of this study is to help the readers form a comprehensive
understanding of the recent advances and trends in polyolefins manufacturing,
applications, technologies, and global and regional markets. For this goal, this
report will provide in-depth analysis for the polyolefin resins market,
including polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) markets. PE includes low
density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and high
density polyethylene (HDPE).
Four objectives in this report will be met. Major types of polyolefins and
their future demand will be described. Main technologies of polyolefin
manufacturing will be discussed. Commercial applications in which polyolefin
resins are used will be discussed. Present consumption and future demand for
polyolefins will be evaluated for global markets by seven world regions: North
America, South America, Europe, China, Asia, Middle East and Africa, and the
rest of the world (ROW).
Trends in technology will be analyzed. The impact of governmental
regulations and international agreements will be ascertained. Patents of
polyolefins will be discussed. The structural dynamics of the polyolefin
industry will be outlined, along with profiles of key manufacturers in the
United States, China, Japan, Korea, India, Brazil, France, Germany, Austria,
Taiwan, and other countries or regions.
This report will review global markets for polyolefins and will forecast
trends and sales in these markets through 2016. Important manufacturers,
technologies and factors influencing demand will be discussed.
The polyolefin market is closely relevant to the production and supplies
of the olefin industry; therefore, olefin production will be described.
Catalysts are important materials for polyolefin production and will be
discussed.
BCC's goal in conducting this study was to determine the current status of
the polyolefin industry and to assess its growth potential over a five-year
period from 2011 to 2016. A primary objective was to present a comprehensive
analysis of the current polyolefin market and project its future direction.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
There are two reasons for doing this study:
Polyolefin manufacturers need to understand the market trend and new
technologies of the industry, planning their investment, production, and
research and development (R&D) for the next five years or a longer period.
Raw materials suppliers and catalyst manufacturers need to understand the
polyolefin market consumption and trends for planning their production and R&D
for the next five years.
SCOPE OF REPORT
The report forecasts the size of the market in current U.S. dollars for
polyolefin resins materials in value terms for each material and/or volume terms
from 2011 through 2016.
The report forecasts the market size or output of polyolefins such as PP
and PEs. PEs includes HDPE, LDPE and LLDPE. The forecasts are classified on the
basis of product type, technology type, application, catalyst types and
geographical region.
The report also describes the raw materials supplies and important players
in the polyolefin industry.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
The intended audience of this report includes polyolefins (PE and PP)
manufacturers and suppliers. Olefins (ethylene and propylene) producers,
polyolefin catalysts producers, oil companies and petrochemicals (e.g., naphtha,
hexane, propane and butane) suppliers may be interested in this report too.
METHODOLOGY
Estimates of current market demand are made for 2010 and are projected
over the next five years. Projections are made in terms of constant U.S. dollars
(2010). Growth is presented in terms of a compound average annual growth rate
(CAGR). Prices are measured at the manufacturer level. Resin price levels of
late 2010 to mid-2011 are used to determine the market value, unless specified
otherwise. But factors that influence the price levels will be discussed.
INFORMATION SOURCES
Information sources for this report include experts, executives,
professors and officials in polyolefin companies, olefin companies,
petrochemical companies, industrial associations, universities and governmental
departments. They include Sinopec, Sabic (Saudi Basic Industry Corporation),
Dow, Chevron, Phillips Chemicals, China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC),
ExxonMobil, Hanwha Chemical Corporation, Reliance Industries, Sabic, Tsinghua
University, the Ministry of Commerce of China, and the National Bureau of
Statistics of China.
Information sources for the study also include online research, patent
literature, technical journals, trade magazines, governmental data and
conference papers from China, Japan, Korea and the United States.
