Project Description
This study is part of EnerChemTek’s on-going polyolefins single- and multi-client services aimed at providing critical thinking and insights into the main drivers impacting the global polyolefins industry, monitoring industry trends and changes, and evaluating the role of technology and its exploitation in the achievement of competitive advantage. This report analyses the global UHMW-PE industry with the objectives of defining new business opportunities for new and existing suppliers. It builds on the analyses of the industry published by EnerChemTek in 2008 and 2011, adding substantial additional information on markets & technologies that will drive growth in the industry for the next 2-3 decades and in particular the markets for high modulus UHMW-PE fibers, battery separators, extruded pipe, and medical implants. Thus, the study covers both market and technological aspects in detail, including: Global supply by producer and plant, including producer profiles & apparent strategies Production technology and production economics, including reviews of recent patent literature Review of developments in product and application technologies, including emerging technologies Industry structure and distribution channels Global demand and market outlook by application sector and processing technique Global demand by region and projections of demand growth by region Detailed analysis of the three markets that are driving global demand for UHMW-PE – ultra-performance fibers, porous membranes and melt extruded pipe – plus the highly specialized developing market for high technology medical implants Key factors for success in supply of UHMW-PE
