| Annual world production of thermoplastic elastomers is estimated at 2.5 million metric tons with a value of almost $12 billion (Source : Chemical & Engineering News , Oct 2005). Though growth levels is now at high single digits compared with earlier years of double digit rates, the outlook for thermoplastic elastomers remains upbeat. This is likely to continue as technological innovations have helped players made some profitable inroads in a myriad of applications ranging from power tool, automotive, consumer, medical , cable , etc. How would these innovations help end users in improving their product offering? Are the technological capabilities of molders and processors in Asia sufficient to process these new resins? What processing challenges do molders face? Could this have some impact on the growth of thermoplastic elastomers ? China, whose overall GDP now ranks sixth in the world, is a market not to be neglected. As such, there is a trend that sees more companies setting up design centres or central purchasing offices in China. Producers would find it worthwhile to be closer to their customers, what are the needs of customers in this market? Are their expectations of suppliers any different from their counterparts in America or Europe? | ||
