PE Film Market Study 10th Edition Overview
MASTIO published the 10th Edition of the Polyethylene Film Market Study in September 2017. The primary PE resin utilized in the new report was LLDPE with approximately 56.0% of total PE film resin consumption. HDPE resin represents approximately 22.0% of total PE film resin consumption. LDPE resin represents approximately 19.0% of total PE film resin consumption. Various other resins represent the balance of 3.0% of the total PE film resin consumption.
This study profiles 33 PE Film Markets. In-depth coverage for each market is provided on the following topics:
- Market size by total resin consumption and by resin type.
- Major processors and their locations.
- Primary products manufactured by these major processors.
- Total resin consumption and growth rates for each PE film extruder.
- Value-in-use analysis depicting the average selling price, which includes the margin, overhead and other costs related to manufacturing the various products.
- Listing of the entire group of participating companies in order from largest to smallest.
- Detailed information on the factors that affect the growth or decline of each market. (i.e. economy, material substitution, government regulations, environmental issues, technological trends, imports, shift of production from USA to foreign countries, mergers & acquisitions, NAFTA and other world trade issues, etc.)
- Growth rate comparison between the anticipated market growth and the anticipated processor growth per the 33 end-use markets. Where there is a difference, there will be qualitative data explaining the difference.
- Current capacity utilization and projected capacity utilization in 2017.
- Inter-polymer substitution.
- Detailed appendix of additional locations along with PE Film products manufactured and resin volumes.
- What are the favorite resin(s) you use for polyethylene film extrusion? Who supplies the resin and why is it a favorite?
