Study #: 1436 Published: 06/2001 Pages: 242 Full Study Price: US$ 3,700 Per Page Price: US$ 30.00 Foamed Plastics - Market Size, Market Share, Demand Forecast, Sales, Company Profiles, Market Research, Industry Trends Demand for foamed plastics in the US will reach 7.8 billion pounds in 2005. Opportunities in insulation and cushioning will support demand for foamed urethane, while foamed polystyrene demand will be driven by advantages in packaging and insulation. Construction will remain the leading market based on heightened energy efficiency standards. This study analyzes the $13.7 billion US foamed plastics industry. It presents historical (1990, 1995 and 2000) data and forecasts to 2005 and 2010 by type (e.g., foamed urethanes, foamed polystyrene, foamed vinyl, RIM foamed plastics, foamed engineered plastics, foamed HDPE and LDPE, foamed ABS); and by market. The study also examines the market environment, details industry structure and market share, and profiles 44 key companies including Carpenter, Dart Container, Dow Chemical, Foamex International, Owens Corning, Pactiv, and Vita.
