Polyurethane (PU) is the most widely used polymer in the world. Key raw materials used in 

manufacture of polyurethane are diisocyanates, polyols and other additives. Polyols comprise the largest volume of polyurethanes. The rebound in furniture, interiors and construction industry in North America and Europe, as well as rapid economic growth in Asia Pacific is expected to remain the major driving force for the polyurethane market. Volatile raw material prices coupled with increasing regulatory pressure for sustainable solutions is expected to be a key challenge for market participants. Industrial polyols are mainly used in production of polyurethane; hence the drivers and restraints impacting the polyurethane market are also expected to affect the polyols market. Polyether polyols dominated the overall market, accounting for over 70% of the total demand in 2011.

Flexible and rigid foam were the most dominant product segments, accounting for over 65% of total PU demand in 2011. Polyurethane is mainly employed in furniture and interiors, construction, electronics and appliances, automotive, footwear and packaging. Furniture and interior industry dominated the global market followed by construction industry. The electronics and appliances industry is expected to be the key growth market for polyurethanes over the next five years.

The global market for PVA films used in polarizer applications was 225.5 million square meters in 2011 and is expected to reach 301.3 million square meters by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2012 to 2018. In terms of revenue, the market was valued at USD 4.8 billion in 2011 and is expected to reach USD 6.8 billion by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 5% from 2012 to 2018.

Increasing government initiatives to support green packaging coupled with the biodegradable nature of PVA films is expected to drive demand over the next five years. Water soluble PVA films are used for packaging across various industries and the growing acceptance of PVA films for water soluble packaging is boosting demand. However, volatility in vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) prices has emerged as a key inhibitor to market growth. Pioneer companies in the PVA films market such as MonoSol LLC have been conducting extensive R&D activities in order to explore novel applications for PVA films. MonoSol LLC is currently developing food packaging grade for PVA films which the company states is non hazardous in nature.

Water soluble PVA films are majorly used for detergent and agrochemical packaging across the globe and together accounted for over 66% of the total water soluble PVA films consumed. Detergent packaging is a fast growing application segment for PVA films, growing at a CAGR of 4% from 2012 to 2018. The growing acceptance for small packets of detergents to minimize skin contact is one of the key factors driving the PVA films demand for detergent packaging. Other applications of water soluble PVA films include manufacturing of laundry bags, embroidery, pet waste bags etc.Water soluble PVA films consumption was dominated by North America and Europe, with the former being the leading consumer with 32.9% of the global demand in 2011, closely followed by Europe.

The growing demand for LCD panels, mainly in the electronic hubs of Asia Pacific is one of the major factors driving PVA film demand. The global market for PVA films used in polarizer applications is concentrated in Asia as this region is the major producer of various electronic appliances such as LCD TVs, cellular phone screens etc.

LCD panels accounted for over 95% of the total PVA polarized films produced, with other applications like sunglasses and optical filters accounting for the remaining consumption of PVA polarized films.

The global market for PVA films used for water soluble applications is led by the U.S.-based MonoSol LLC which was recently acquired by Kuraray. Both the companies are benefiting from this partnership. Other companies operating in the market include Sekisui Specialty Chemicals, Nippon Gohsei, Aicello Chemicals, Jiangmen Proudly Water Soluble Plastic Co. Ltd, and Changzhou Water Soluble Co. Ltd among some other companies.

Japan-based Kuraray is the major company producing polarized PVA films, with approximately 80% of the global market in 2011. Nippon Gohsei is another company producing PVA polarized films.

Latin America Commercial Refrigeration Equipments Market Published By Transparency Market Research

Transparency Market Research published new market report "Commercial Refrigeration Equipments Market - Latin America Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2012 - 2018," the market for commercial refrigeration equipment in Latin America is expected to reach a value of USD 1.1 billion by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2012 to 2018.

Browse the full report at http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/commercial-refrigeration-equipments.html

The Latin America commercial refrigeration equipment market is witnessing growth for both new installations as well as replacement. However, new installation demand currently dominates the trend. This is largely due to demand for more refrigerated storage and transportation equipment. Increase in trade activities involving refrigerated food items is the prominent cause behind the demand surge. Regional economic growth and steady growth in the tourism sector has further added to demand rise. Replacement demand is fuelled by change in regulations, such as PALCEE (Energy Efficiency Program for Latin America and the Caribbean) and SIER (Regional Energy Information System) by OLADE (Latin American Energy Organization).

Geographically, though South America makes up the largest segment, Central America is expected to record the fastest growth during the forecast period 2012 - 2018. The emergence of Central America is largely due its growing popularity as an export market. The Caribbean region, despite its robust tourism sector, is expected to witness slow growth.

Among different types of commercial refrigeration equipment, the market is dominated by transportation refrigeration equipment, such as shipping containers, refrigerated trucks and trailers. Increase in both inbound trade and exports have driven the demand for refrigeration equipment across the transportation sector. Refrigerators and freezers used to store items in commercial establishments constitute the second largest segment, with demand largely contributed from hotels, restaurants, cafes, and other such businesses.

The commercial refrigeration equipment market is dominated by the food service segment, which consists of equipment such as display cases, vending machines, and beverage refrigeration equipment, among others. Food service segment along with food and beverage distribution equipment segment accounts for more than 50% share of the Latin America commercial refrigeration equipment market.

The Latin America market is still in a transition phase to become a destination market for leading industry players. Manufacturers such as Metalfrio Solutions SA, Beverage-Air (Ali group), Fogel, and Lennox International have a pioneering advantage in the market. Other players such as SRC Refrigeration, Dover Corporation, Daikin, and Illinois Tool Works, too are catering to demand in the region.

The study presents a comprehensive assessment of the stakeholder strategies, winning imperatives for them, by segmenting the commercial refrigeration market as below:

By Product

• Transportation Refrigeration Equipments
• Refrigerators & Freezers
• Beverage Refrigeration Equipments
• Other Equipments
• Parts

By Application

• Food Service
• Food & Beverage Retail
• Food & Beverage Distribution
• Food & Beverage Production
