The market fell to a trough in 2000 from which it robustly rebounded the following year. Since then, demand has steadily increased and by 2008 is expected to reach some £790m at MSP, reflecting annual growth of around 2-3% from 2004.Market growth reflects the continued dominance of the paper and packaging sector - boosted by demand from e-commerce and associated distribution; increased demand from DIY and home improvements; and the development of new products opening up a wider range of applications in the medical and manufacturing sectors. Imports from low cost sources in East Europe and Asia will continue to take markets from producers in the developed economies, who are likely to increasingly invest in new technologies to develop products at the high-end of the market.
However, the major current and future threat will come from the high costs of compliance with increasingly stringent environmental regulations that will most certainly render the operations of some producers uneconomic, resulting in the loss of raw materials and therefore adhesive and sealant products. Conversely, this pressure will also stimulate the development of innovative products and raw materials that are environmentally friendly - although the lead-time to the production of economically viable products may be extensive |
