Decorative Laminates to 2013 - Market Research, Market Share, Market Size, Sales, Demand Forecast, Market Leaders, Company Profiles, Industry Trends

Sales of decorative laminates in the US are forecast to reverse their downward trend and grow 2.1 percent annually through 2013. Gains will be sparked by increased demand from the flooring industry, while cabinets remain the leading market. The smaller high-pressure laminate segment will outpace the dominant low-pressure overlay market.

This study analyzes the $6.4 billion US decorative laminate industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 1998, 2003 and 2008, and forecasts for 2013 and 2018 by material (e.g., plastics, adhesives, paper, vinyl film, wood substrates), product (e.g., low-pressure, high-pressure, edgebanding) and market (e.g., cabinets, furniture, store fixtures, flooring, wall panels, countertops).

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 40 industry players, including Wilsonart, Panolam Industries and Formica.
