Abstract

US demand to approach 40 billion pounds in 2011
US demand for extruded plastics is forecast to rise 2.7 percent annually to nearly 40 billion pounds in 2011, valued at over $32 billion (resin content only). Resins will account for 40 percent of extruded plastic product costs. Extruded plastic advances will reflect the processes’ cost effectiveness, high throughput rates, technology improvements, processing ease and high volume uses. Further growth will be threatened by a slumping residential building construction segment. Extrusion will account for 42 percent of all plastics processed in 2011.

Construction, packaging markets to remain dominant
Construction and packaging markets together accounted for 78 percent of all extruded plastics demand in 2006. Construction opportunities will be based on plastic’s light weight, cost competitiveness, ease of extrusion and reduced maintenance requirements. Further growth will be constrained by a slumping residential building construction segment, which will particularly impact siding demand. Packaging advances will be driven by plastic’s low cost and excellent performance in blister packs and clamshells, as well as cups, bowls, plates and disposable packaging. Smaller extruded plastic markets include consumer goods, motor vehicles, industrial and medical.
