John R. Starr: New report

John R. Starr, Inc. will publish in September 2010 a new report which provides comprehensive global and regional market information on spunbonded polypropylene manufacturing costs and capacities through 2014. The report provides detailed information on capacity by producer, country, line and technology and beam configuration and compares regional and global supply to demand.  The report is of value to companies at all levels of the spunbonded polypropylene value chain to allow them to enhance their understanding of capacities, comparative producer costs and regional and global supply/demand. 

The new study provides significant new findings on the following topics:

- Perspective on regional and global capacity and demand development from 2003 to 2010 and an updated forecast for 2014.

- Estimates of exports by region and their impact on regional capacity utilization and capacity planning.

- Enhanced analysis of regional capacity capable of supplying modern hygiene end uses by individual machine and in total by producer and region as compared to regional demand.

- Cost-of-manufacture estimates for leading regional low cost producers using the latest generation technology based on estimates of third quarter 2010 polypropylene costs.
