The consumption of polyester resins will grow by an average of 5% a year by

2010

According to UK-based market research firm Merchant Research & Consulting

Ltd., the average annual demand growth rate with respect to polyester resins will
be as follows: 6-8% in North America and Europe, 4-5% in Japan, 10% in other
countries of Asia Pacific.

The total consumption of engineering polyesters topped 900K mt in 2006

(consumption is evaluated on the basis of sales).

Polyester resins sector largely hinges on general economic trends, though the
substitution of traditional materials in an ongoing and inevitable process. The
consumption of polyester resins will be in conformity with GDP of Western Europe
and North America. The polyester resins demand growth in Japan will also mirror
GDP growth rate in this country.

The market for polyester resins is oligopolistic: 3 firms account for 75% of all
capacities in North America, 4 companies account for 65% of all capacities in
western Europe, 5 producers account for 85% of all capacities in Japan.

Polyester resins are the most widely used resin systems, particularly in the marine
industry. By far the majority of dinghies, yachts and workboats built in composites
make use of this resin system. Polyester resins such as these are of the
'unsaturated' type. Unsaturated polyester resin is a thermoset, capable of being
cured from a liquid or solid state when subject to the right conditions. It is usual to
refer to unsaturated polyester resins as 'polyester resins', or simply as 'polyesters'.
There is a whole range of polyesters made from different acids, glycols and
monomers, all having varying properties.

The Polyester Resins Market Research also features the following information:

• The state of the world market for polyester resins;

• Trademarks of polyester resins;
 • Producers and suppliers of polyester resins;
• Traders with polyester resins;
• To name only a few subjects

This review presents the analysis of the global and CIS markets for polyester
resins. We examine their properties, types, production aspects, application areas.
Special emphasis is given to non-saturated polyester maleates, fumarates, acrylates
and polyallyl esters. Profiles of producers, consumers and trade agents are
available. The present study provides information on raw materials, prices, etc.
