Extruded Plastics to 2011 - Market Research, Market Share, Market Size, Sales, Demand Forecast, Market Leaders, Company Profiles, Industry Trends

US demand for extruded plastics will reach 40 billion pounds in 2011, driven by extrusion’s cost efficiency, processing ease and high volume uses. PVC and LDPE will remain the dominant extruded resins while HDPE will grow the fastest. Construction and packaging uses will offer the best market prospects.

This study analyzes the $27 billion (resin content) US extruded plastic industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 1996, 2001 and 2006, and forecasts for 2011 and 2016 by resin (e.g., polyvinyl chloride, low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyester); and market (e.g., construction, packaging, consumer goods).

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 39 leading players including Bemis, DuPont, Sigma Plastics, J-M Manufacturing, Printpack, Cryovac, Covalence Specialty Materials, Advanced Drainage Systems, CertainTeed, and Pliant.
