Specialty Chemicals Quarterly
Specialty Chemicals Quarterly First Quarter 2015 SPECIALTY CHEMICALS REVIEW Market Commentary Global Adhesives and Sealants Market The global adhesives and sealants market, which totaled approximately $13.8 billion in 2012, is expected to grow 3-4% in 2015. Regionally, North America is expected to grow 3-4%, 2-3% in Europe and 5-6% in Asia, according to IHS. Cheaper oil and petrochemical feedstocks are expected to drive down raw material costs and modestly boost margins. Demand is expected to rise from industrial assembly applications, particularly automotive, as well as emerging markets with expanding consumer purchasing power. NPE2015 Takeaways Companies at the 2015 International Plastics Showcase generally expressed optimistic views on plastics markets. Producers expect polyethylene prices to remain healthy as a result of sustained demand, despite the recent drop in crude oil markets, particularly in emerging markets driven partly by urbanization in countries such as China and India. Styrenic resin is expected to benefit from relatively strong demand in the short term as a result of inventory replenishment along the value chain. In the medium-to-long term, styrenic resin is expected to be driven by growth in the U.S. economy, aided by lower crude oil prices which will likely increase the average household disposable income. Over the next decade, materials such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (“ABS”) and specialty resins will grow and will be primarily driven by megatrends in the automotive, healthcare and electronics industries.
