DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8k26l9/global_and_chinese) has announced the addition of the "Global and Chinese Engineering Plastics Industry Report, 2011-2012" report to their offering.
Engineering plastics are a group of high polymer materials that can be used as structural stuff, can endure the mechanical stress in a wider range of temperatures, and can be applied against relatively harsh physical and chemical environment. In 2011, the global demand for engineering plastics approximated 9.5 million tons. Fueled by the development of automobile and electronic & electrical sectors, the demand for engineering plastics is expected to maintain a growth rate of around 5%, and promisingly, it will rise to 11.46 million tons or so in 2015.
The production and consumption of engineering plastics are mainly concentrated in Asia, North America and Europe, of which the engineering plastics market in North America and Europe has been saturated, while the demand for engineering plastics in Asia, especially in China, presents robust growth. In 2011, the demand for engineering plastics in China reached around 2.698 million tons, up 8.8% year-on-year.
Engineering plastics mainly include five kinds of universal engineering plastics (polycarbonate, polyamide, polyoxymethylene, polyethylene terephthalate and polyphenylene oxide), and such special engineering plastics as polyphenylene sulfide, polyimide and liquid crystal polymer. In 2011, the top 3 engineering plastics in terms of demand in China were polycarbonate, polyamide and polyoxymethylene, making up 49.0%, 17.6% and 14.3% of the total demand respectively. And the demand for special engineering plastics was relatively limited, accounting for only 6.4% in 2011.
