Strategic Analysis of the Plastics in Water Infrastructure

Lack of Water Infrastructure - Water infrastructure in Eastern Europe is still not well developed. Countries such as Poland offer the greatest potential for plastic water pipelines. With successful reference cases in the last decade, the preference for plastic as the suitable material for pipes over metals is more evident among water utility bodies as well as engineering design companies. Similarly, countries such as Mexico offer good opportunity for plastic water tanks because, historically, they have depended on storage infrastructure, and not on distribution, for efficient water supply.

Privatization of Water Distribution Systems - Competitive franchising, long-term contracts will encourage healthy competition in the water sector and lead to efficient water supply management. France and the United Kingdom provide perfect examples of how such privatization has raised quality in the whole system. In both countries, network pressure was enhanced and supply interruptions were reduced considerably after privatization. Even the investment scenarios for both countries improved from what they were previously. A growing number of countries within the European Union are slowly shifting to a privatization model to gain operating expertise and investments from the private sector.

Replacement of Ageing Water Infrastructure - Most of the infrastructure presently in place in Western Europe and North America was laid 50 to 100 years ago. Pipe bursts and leaks have been common. The costs associated with loss of water as well as repairing these pipelines run into the millions. More durable materials, such as plastics, are being used to refurbish existing pipelines made out of ductile iron.

The advantages associated with plastics such as HDPE include trenchless technology, which is used for laying buried pipes. This technology makes it easier for pipe manufacturers to produce longer lengths of pipes, reducing downtime. In addition to their durability and trenchless technology, plastic pipes are corrosion resistant and leak free, which prevents huge volumes of water loss during transport.

Rainwater Harvesting Promoting Localized Storage - Factors such as water scarcity and rainwater harvesting promote localized storage in certain parts of Europe and North America. Communities are increasingly focused on having a permanent reserve of water in the form of tanks. Traditional concrete has been the material of choice. However, rotomolded plastics, such as HDPE and LLDPE, are gaining popularity because they offer numerous advantages in terms of production as well as in operational cost.

Report Scope
This study analyses the plastics market for water infrastructure by covering two core segments: pipes used for distribution of drinking/potable water and storage tanks used for rainwater harvesting and potable water storage (underground and above ground).The key drivers and restraints related to each of these segments as well as the total market have been detailed in this study. Unit shipments and revenue forecasts have been given for the materials and the chemicals that are covered under the scope of this study. Competitive landscape has been given in detail covering market share and SWOT analysis. Geographical scope includes North America and Europe.

The Future of the Kitchen Products Market in the BRIC Countries: Key Trends, Drivers, Opportunities and Challenges to 2016

The growth of construction in both the residential and hospitality sectors should see demand for kitchen products increase, and the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games are expected to drive the hospitality, retail and leisure sectors, which will also support the market in Brazil. Moreover, the rapid growth in urbanization is expected to increase the demand for kitchen furniture, taps, mixers and sinks in the Brazilian residential sector. The size of the average family in Brazil is reducing, which is also expected to increase demand for kitchen products.

Russia will host major sporting events such as the 2014 Winter Olympic Games and the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Consequently, the construction of various sectors including residential and hospitality sectors should increase driving the demand for kitchen products. The retail boom in Russia, which slowed following the global financial crisis, has returned in some major cities, and the most dynamic retail market in Russia is currently St Petersburg. This growth in the retail market is encouraging consumers to buy more kitchen products.

Nanometals are a growing sector of the nanomaterials business that extend the uses of metals in electronics and energy markets in important ways. Building on the traditional role of metals in these sectors, metallic nanoparticles and nanostructures (nanowires, nanorods, nanospeheres, etc.) are bringing higher performance to traditional electronics applications such as PCBs, giving nanometals immediate revenue potential. But nanometals also have considerable potential in emerging areas of electronics such as printed electronics, creating the opportunity for new business revenue in the not-too-distant future. The long-established use of nanosilver and nanogold in medical applications also has implications for the medical electronics business, we believe.

In this report we quantify the commercial potential for nanometals in all the major markets, providing revenue forecasts for shipments of these interesting materials over an eight-year period. Our analysis not only covers the entire class of nanometals, but also extends to related areas such as nanometal oxides and other compounds. We also examine the opportunities for intermediate products such as inks and sputtering targets and the market impact of the latest trends in nanometal fabrication.

NanoMarkets has already established an important role in supplying business information in the nanometals space. It publishes the industry-standard annual reports on nanosilver and has also covered nanogold, nanocopper and nanomolybdenum opportunities in its published studies. In addition, NanoMarkets is expert on the applications markets into which nanometals are being sold having covered emerging sectors of both the electronics and energy markets for seven years. In addition to product/market analysis, this report also assesses the key market strategies being deployed by leading suppliers including both the large specialty chemical companies and interesting startups.

World Construction Aggregates

World market for construction aggregates to rise 5.2% annually through 2015

The worldwide market is expected to increase 5.2 percent per year through 2015 to 48.3 billion metric tons. This represents a slower rate of growth than during the 2005-2010 period, reflecting a moderation in aggregates-intensive nonbuilding construction activity. Nevertheless, demand for construction aggregates will still post solid gains from 2010 to 2015. The Asia/Pacific region will register the largest increases in product sales, as nonbuilding, nonresidential building and residential building construction activity will all rise rapidly, particularly in China, India and Indonesia. China alone will account for half of all new aggregates demand worldwide, and the Asia/Pacific market will account for more than seventenths of global growth during the 2010- 2015 period.

The Eastern Europe and Africa/Mideast regions are also expected to undergo sizable expansion in consumption of construction aggregates, stimulated by infrastructure development projects and strong growth in general economic activity. While the Central and South American market will climb at a somewhat slower pace, aggregates suppliers will benefit from solid gains in regional construction spending.

Expansions in demand in developed parts of the world -- the US, Canada, Japan, Western Europe, South Korea and Australia -- will not be as strong as in most industrializing areas. This is primarily due to the already well-developed and extensive infrastructures found in these countries and construction methods that tend to utilize less concrete. However, most developed world markets, driven by an acceleration in GDP growth and sharp rebounds in construction spending in North America and Western Europe, will post solid gains after contracting between 2005 and 2010.

Sand to remain largest aggregate segment

Demand for crushed stone, sand and gravel products will all grow just over five percent per year through 2015. As in 2010, sand will continue to make up the largest portion of global sales, followed closely by crushed stone and then gravel. Due to more restrictive land use and environmental regulations, as well as the depletion of natural aggregates reserves, sales of recycled, secondary and other aggregates will climb at an aboveaverage pace during the 2010-2015 period. However, despite expanding 7.1 percent per year over this span, these products will continue to play a rather small role in world aggregates markets due to quality concerns and the limited availability of feed material.

Residential construction to be fastest growing market

Demand for aggregates used in residential building construction will grow the fastest through 2015, driven primarily by a rebound in spending in industrialized nations following a period of decline. In addition, growing populations and increased demand for urban housing in rapidly industrializing parts of the world will contribute to increases in residential building aggregates sales. However, the nonbuilding construction market for aggregates will remain the largest in 2015 and will post the best gains from 2010 to 2015 in absolute terms. Significant investments in infrastructure development by industrializing countries will combine with the extensive maintenance needed for nonbuilding structures in developed nations to drive sales gains.

Study coverage

This upcoming industry study, World Construction Aggregates, presents historical demand data (2000, 2005, 2010) with forecasts for 2015 and 2020 by product, market, application, world region and for 19 major countries.
