North American Polyolefins Injection Molding Market Analysis and Forecast to 2014

This report provides a detailed analysis of the Polyolefins Injection Molding Market in North America. The study examines polyolefin resin or polymer demand growth by major end-use from 2003 - 2009, as well as a forecast by major end-use to 2014. Major end-uses include housewares, cups & containers, caps & closures, crates & totes, automotive, home & garden and pails. A summary of NA Polyolefin resin producers and their estimated polymer production capacity is also provided.

Factors and trends impacting future demand growth by end-use are discussed. Polyolefin resin demand is over 50% of total plastics consumption in North America. Polyolefin resins include polypropylene and polyethylene. Types of polyethylene polymers include High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) and Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE). Injection Molding is the largest end-use application for polypropylene (PP) resin in N.A.
