The increasing cost of power and the rapid depletion of conventional sources of energy have necessitated effective heat management and energy conservation in industrial processes. High temperature insulation (HTI) products provide high compressive strength and low shrinkage at high temperatures; and thus offer a cost-effective energy management solution for industrial processes.

The global HTI products market - defined as insulation products with maximum operating temperature exceeding 1000° C - is witnessing tremendous growth due to the increasing awareness about the energy saving, cost effectiveness and emission reduction offered by these products, and industrialization of emerging economies. The global HTI products market is estimated to grow from $2.7 billion in 2011 to $3.5 billion in 2016. While Europe led the global HTI market in 2011 with a 39% share, India, China, Russia and Middle East have registered dynamic growth rates.

The impending saturation of the European and U.S. markets has induced several HTI manufacturers to adopt geographic expansion strategies to the Asian region. India and China offer especially lucrative markets and also offer the benefit of low-cost manufacturing. Value-based pricing has emerged as a major growth strategy in the relatively saturated markets. Market players in these regions are also focusing on emerging HTI applications such as aerospace and fire protection for further market growth.

The major applications of HTI products are petrochemicals, cement, glass, ceramics, refractory, aluminum, powder metallurgy, and iron and steel industry. Petrochemicals currently hold a 30% share of the overall HTI market, and are expected to continue being the largest application market through 2016. Glass forms the next largest application segment, holding a 14% share of the overall market currently. Most of the applications require insulation at maximum temperature ranging from 1000° C to 1300° C. HTI products falling within this temperature range account for 65% of total HTI market revenue.

Prices of HTI product vary largely across geographies. In Asia, due to lower raw material and labor costs, prices are considerably less than that in North America and Europe. Prices of HTI product also change with increase in operating temperature. The change is predominant in North America and Europe where prices increase up to 10 - 12 times with increase in temperature.

The global HTI products market is consolidated with two companies – U.S. based Unifrax LLC and UK based Morgan Thermal Ceramics (Morgan Crucible PLC) – holding almost a third of the entire market. The other companies with significant market presence are Denmark’s Skamol, U.S. based Pyrotek and Zircar, Belgium’s Promat, and Japan based Isolite. These industry leaders are employing a number of growth strategies such as increased R&D investments, new product launches, shifting focus toward Asia Pacific and agreements and collaborations to expand their market presence. Increased R&D investments have also had a positive impact on product enhancement and differentiation strategies. These competitive developments are expected to boost the growth of HTI market.

Energy forms the largest cost component of HTI products, accounting for about 40% to 50% of the total production cost. Thus, energy efficiency in the manufacturing process could significantly lower the cost of the end-product.

Report Description:

Today, public concern regarding the environment, increasing desire of manufacturing companies to develop more sustainable products, limited fossil fuel resources, and climate change are important reasons for governments and companies to find substitutes to crude oil-based products. Bio-based plastics present huge potential to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and the related environmental impacts. In recent years, PLA has emerged as one of the most popular bio-degradable plastics available in the market. PLA finds major applications in the food packaging industry, especially in frozen foods, ready-to-eat meals, and cutlery. Increasing awareness regarding the environmental consequences by the use of conventional plastic packaging is expected to drive the demand for PLA in the near future. This surge in PLA demand is expected to reflect in demand for lactic acid as PLA is the largest application market for it. The technical developments in emerging bio-based plastics have substantially improved the properties of novel bio-based plastics such as heat resistance of PLA, enabling a much wider range of applications.

This study estimates the global capacity of PLA and lactic acid by the end of 2016. Europe is the most dominant market for PLA while Asia-Pacific, owing to significant domestic demand, is expected to be the fastest growing market in the next five years. Cost competitiveness against alternatives is a key challenge for industry participants along with the growing mismatch in the supply demand scenario. The global PLA market is currently witnessing supply restraints as there are only a few major suppliers on a global platform. However, market players are increasingly focusing on increasing production capacities; especially in the Asia-Pacific region owing to the cheap availability and wide abundance of starting raw materials such as sugarcane, sugar beet, and tapioca in the region for lactic acid production. Growing demand for PLA is expected to drive the lactic acid market in the near future. Lack of supply capabilities on the part of market players is perceived to be a key issue for the lactic acid market in the near future.

The global lactic acid market is dominated by North America, accounting for 35.8% of the overall market in 2010. Europe and Asia-Pacific are the second and third largest markets for lactic acid; accounting for 29.9% and 29.2% of the overall market respectively in 2010. Industrial applications are the largest for lactic acid, accounting for 42.4% of the overall market in 2010. In the last few years, industrial applications have surpassed food and beverages as a leading application for the consumption of lactic acid. This has primarily been a result of strong growth in the PLA and solvents markets for which lactic acid is the primary raw material.

The report provides a comprehensive review of major market drivers, challenges, opportunities, and key issues in the market. The market is further segmented and forecasted for major geographic regions; North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World that include key growth regions such as Brazil. The key countries covered include U.S., U.K., China, and Japan. The report estimates the market size for lactic acid and PLA; both in terms of volumes and revenue. The market has been further segmented on the basis of applications. The various applications for PLA such as packaging, textiles, electronics, and medical have been discussed in detail in the report.
