Acrylonitrile (2015 Program)

This report provides a deep technical review of the commercial and developing acrylonitrile technologies.  The economics of the propylene, propane and glycerol ammoxidation processes have been estimated for acrylonitrile plants located in the United States, Western Europe, South-East Asia and China, where capacity is increasing rapidly.  As about a million tons of new capacity is expected to come on stream between 2014 and 2019, a high-level analysis of the business and strategic considerations as well as the technology availability from the perspective of a company entering or expanding into the acrylonitrile market has been included in this report. This analysis is underpinned by a review of end-use sector consumption as well as regional market dynamics.

Supplement: Global LDPE EVA Copolymer Market - 2015

EVA is produced by adding varying quantities of vinyl acetate monomer during the LDPE manufacturing process.  The materials covered by this report are ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers that contain 9 percent or more vinyl acetate.  EVA copolymers with less than 9 percent vinyl acetate (VA) have largely been commoditised and are not considered in this report.  The practical upper limit is 40 percent vinyl acetate for the high pressure polyethylene process.  There are copolymers made with over 40 percent vinyl acetate, but these are usually made by solution processes and are rubber-like materials unlike the plastics covered in this report.  This report analyses the global market, including supply, demand and trade balance; assesses technology and provides profiles of the key technology licensors and manufacturers.
