Ceresana Analyses The Adhesive Market

During their development, adhesives have gained a strong position in more and more production processes. There is hardly any product in our surroundings that does not contain at least one adhesive - be it the label on a beverage bottle, the protective film on an auto-mobile or the profile on window frames.

Life-Saving Fire Protection: Ceresana Analyses the Flame Retardant Market

Life-Saving Fire Protection: Ceresana Analyses the Flame Retardant Market
Cell phones, carpets, or insulating sheets – flame retardants are used in numerous everyday products to prevent them from being burnt or at least to slow down a fire in an emergency. As more and more plastics and other flammable materials are used, flame retardants are gaining increasing importance. The new market study by Ceresana Research forecasts that global flame retardant revenues will rise to approximately US$5.8 billion by 2018. Demand is above all growing in the Asia-Pacific region, with China registering the greatest increase of 7% per year.

Benzene Achieves Record Sales – Ceresana Research Publishes New Market Study

Benzene Achieves Record Sales – Ceresana Research Publishes New Market Study
Benzene, a colorless liquid, is the precursor for numerous chemical compounds. The global benzene market will see dynamic growth: According to the new report from the market research institute Ceresana Research, the global demand for benzene will rise to approximately 6 million tonnes by 2018. In addition, global revenues are anticipated to increase to US$52.6 billion by 2018. “Benzene revenues will substantially exceed the 2007 peak level as soon as in 2011,” expects Oliver Kutsch, CEO of Ceresana.

Innovative Colors – Special Effects: Ceresana Analyzes the Pigment Market

Innovative Colors – Special Effects: Ceresana Analyzes the Pigment Market
Pigments are needed in large quantities: Printing inks, paints & varnishes, plastics, and the coloring of construction materials are important growth markets. Other segments, such as cosmetics, paper, textiles, ceramics, and glass, use pigments to provide more gloss to their products. More and more manufacturers improve their packaging and promotional items by using modern colors and visual effects. Ceresana’s first in-depth study on the global pigment market was soon out of stock – the new, updated study on pigments is now available.

Small Closures, Large Market Opportunities

Push-Pull, Twist-Top, Snip-Tip, or rather Toggle-Swing? The selection of caps and closures is not usually straightforward, and new varieties are constantly being developed. “Although inexpensive and standard products are being applied in many sectors, the trend towards more complex closure systems remains unbroken”, explains Oliver Kutsch, owner of the market research institution Ceresana: “Above all, more functionality, better technical characteristics, and convenience are in demand, in addition to weight reduction, energy saving during production, and recycling.” Ceresana has taken the European plastic closure market under the magnifying glass.

LDPE-Market Begins its Recovery – New Study from Ceresana Research

Low density polyethylene is one of the oldest plastics – and continues to be in demand. LDPE is primarily used for films, carrying bags, and sacks, but can also be used to reinforce levees, for example. Screw caps and lids are also produced from this soft, ductile, and flexible material. LDPE can hold its ground against competition from newer plastics, as a result of its advantageous characteristics: low melting point, high clarity, and good process-ability. “The trend of substituting LDPE with other polymers is declining again throughout the industrialized nations,” says Oliver Kutsch, owner of Ceresana Research: “Opportunities for LDPE can be seen, for example, in the application of coatings and packaging for medical products. These applications will recover relatively quickly from the effects of the economical crisis.”

Bioplastics are Flourishing: new Study from Ceresana Research

Bioplastics are Flourishing: new Study from Ceresana Research
Despite the economic crisis, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics demonstrate moderate growth. Shopping bags, fast-food utensils, and garbage sacks that decompose into compost after use: bioplastics are not only environmentally-friendly, but they can also be economically advantageous. “Despite the financial crisis, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics were able to demonstrate moderate growth in this past year,” explains Oliver Kutsch, president of Ceresana Research.

New Study from Ceresana Research: Continued Growth of the PVC Market

New Study from Ceresana Research: Continued Growth of the PVC Market
Polyvinyl chloride continues to be one of the world’s most crucial plastics. As one of the oldest and most used products of the plastics industry, PVC came under attack 20 years ago by environmentalist groups. After numerous scientific investigations and improvement measures, the industry calmed the situation down: The environmental aspects of this durable and fireproof material are now often looked upon positively, the relatively minimal need for oil is also considered to be advantageous. A new market study from Ceresana Research shows that the PVC branch can expect to see continued growth.

Strong Growth in the Polypropylene Market

Strong Growth in the Polypropylene Market
The body of the new Smart “Fortwo“ is, for the first time, being manufactured entirely from Polypropylene (PP), and similarly, the bumpers and dashboard of the new Fiat 500. This most versatile of plastics is constantly being used in an increasing amount of applications. Whether used in ice-trays, drinking straws, washing machines, furniture, sporting goods, luggage, diapers, or syringes; polypropylene is everywhere. As a light, easily recyclable material, it saves weight and is often environmentally friendly. PP is increasingly being used as a substitute for other, relatively expensive plastics.

New Study on the Global Antioxidant Market

They may only be required in small amounts at any one time, but nevertheless they are absolutely necessary: Without antioxidants, many products would not last very long, and many plastics could not even be manufactured without their protective attributes. Antioxidants also have the ability to slow the deterioration of rubber and adhesives. Acting as stabilizers, they are also useful in facilitating the production of fuel and lubricants. In lipstick and other fat based cosmetics, they can also be used to prevent rancidness.
