Gain an Insight into the Market for Biocide Products Within the Polymer Emulsions Sector

Posted on: Wednesday, 5 April 2006, 15:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c35250) has announced the addition of Biocides in Polymer Emulsions Global Report - 2006 to their offering.

This report provides in depth information on the market for biocide products within Polymer Emulsions. It includes detailed market analyses and discussions of industry trends. It assesses the impact of current and emerging regulations on the biocides used. The report develops forecasts for biocides from 2006 through 2011. It discusses the efforts of biocide manufacturers and formulators in launching new biocide formulations to meet changing market requirements, for example build up of resistance, lower costs, regulations.

The report also provides an overview for biocides for each of the major geographical regions. It provides value and volume data for different biocides. In addition, the report provides a summary of each of the biocides that are being used to control microbes within consumer and industrial applications. Industry influences on the biocides market are also discussed.

The scope of the study is worldwide. The overview section provides extended definitions of the biocides to provide the reader with a clear understanding of the technology involved. In addition, this section provides an analysis of biocide consumption by application and region. There is a profile of an ideal biocide as outlined by end users.

The company profiles section includes a detailed discussion of the companies that have pioneered biocide development and examines how their available products and services are setting the standards for preservation.

In this report more than 30 companies are discussed, and 10 of the most important companies are examined in depth. The base year for this study is 2005. Figures are based on revenue figures at the manufacturers' level and also at the formulated products level and are projected at 2005-U.S. dollar value.

This report answers these sector questions:

-- What are the future directions of the biocide industry?

-- What are the most important biocides being used in enduser applications today?

-- What are the most promising biocides ?

-- What impact will regulations have on biocides consumption?

List of Tables in Biocides Report

Summary

The global consumption of biocides in Polymer Emulsions was $ 50 million at active manufacture level in 2005, 30 % growth on 1995. This performance reflects not only end industry growth, regulatory and technological changes but also the growing use of biocides as hygiene aids especially in Latex Masterbatches.

Specialty biocides includes bactericides. North America accounted for approximately 40% of this total. But several factors are combining to bring the total market value up and the North American percentage down, according to us.

"Growth in the North American biocides market has slowed down, but competition for market share among the leaders has only accelerated. Consolidation in the industry has really raised the stakes for companies like Arch, Basf, Bode, Ciba, Clariant, Dow, ISP, Lanxess, Lonza, Progiven, Rohm & Haas, Schulke & Mayr, Thor and Troy, and they're looking to Countries in developing regions."

Countries such as China, Eastern Europe, India and South America continue to offer growth opportunities as per capita income rises and human health issues are accorded more importance.
