Demand grows in 2009 / Industry produces more than 700,000 t/y / Globalised market/ AMI study

摘要

Worldwide demand for artificial turf grew in 2009, according to a recently published study - "The global artificial grass market 2009" - by market researcher Applied Market Information (AMI, Bristol / UK; www.amiplastics.com). The industry now accounts for over 700,000 t/y of product, ranging from the polymers used for the grass carpet through the elastomeric rubber infill to the underlay. The market value of the grass carpet alone is estimated at EUR 1.3 bn and is expected to exceed EUR 2 bn in 2013, AMI said.
