Abstract
IAL Consultants is pleased to announce the publication of its latest report
for the polyurethane industry, a two-volume report analysing the consumption
of polyester polyols, both aliphatic and aromatic, within the major end-use
markets across the world. Figures are based upon 2006 production of
polyurethane products and associated polyester polyol consumption.
Total global production capacity of polyester polyols is estimated to be in
the region of 1.5 million tonnes, accounting for some 25% of world' s total
polyurethane polyol capacity, which is estimated to be around 6 million tonnes.
Geographical coverage of this report includes data for production and
consumption in the following major markets:
- Western Europe
- Central & Eastern Europe
- North America
- South America
- Asia Pacific (inc. Japan & China)
- Middle East & Africa
Published figures and industry estimates for production of end-use products
are given where available, in order to substantiate market figures for polyol
demand.
Major end-users are listed and when known, figures for their estimated
production levels and associated polyester polyol consumption are given.
This report reviews the consumption of both aromatic and aliphatic polyester
polyols by the major end-use markets for each type.
