摘要

Demand for masterbatch products in Asia grew by 6% in 2009, according to a recently published report - "Masterbatch markets in Asia" - by UK market researcher Applied Market Information (AMI, Bristol / UK; www.amiplastics.com). Demand is forecast to grow at between 7% and 8% annually up to 2013, when it will rise to over 1.2m t/y as the region continues to be the world's fastest growing market for these products. Expansion and rapid market development in China is the most significant driver of masterbatch demand growth in Asia, the researcher said, with the country accounting for around 60% of demand and production.
