SUMMARY
Global consumption of bisphenol-A (BPA) is being spurred by a
stable growth in demand from emerging markets, with China,
India, Mexico and Russia expected to witness above average
growth prospects. Coupled with this trend is a growing demand
for the compound in its two major application areas, viz., epoxy
resins and polycarbonates. Prospects for future demand for BPA
are likely to be bolstered by the growing utilization of this
chemical in rotor blade composites that find application in
windmills. Wind energy has been garnering widespread global
attention as an eco-friendly option in the energy mix and requires
the use of strong and resilient wind turbine rotor blades that are
reinforced using epoxy resins.
Notwithstanding the controversy surrounding BPA’s toxic effects
in food and beverage applications, demand for the chemical is not
likely to undergo any drastic change in the foreseeable future.
This can be attributed to a softer stance adopted by global
regulatory agencies that are biding time in an endeavor to provide
ample opportunity to manufacturers of packaging materials to
develop alternative solutions to BPA that can enable in resolving
the issue. Another factor is that food and beverage packaging
materials account for only about 3-4% of the global consumption
of polycarbonates and even if the use of BPA is completely
discontinued in this area, the chemical will continue to be in
demand in other categories of polycarbonates.
Global market for Bisphenol-A applications analyzed in this study
include Epoxy Resins, Polycarbonates and Other Applications. The
global markets for the above mentioned application areas are
analyzed in terms of both in metric tons and USD. Global volume
consumption of Bisphenol-A, estimated at 7.7 million metric tons in
2015 and forecast to be 8 million metric tons in 2016, is projected to
reach 10.6 million metric tons by 2022 at a CAGR of 4.8% between
2016 and 2022. In terms of value, global demand for Bisphenol-A is
likely to register a faster CAGR of 5.4% over the same period and
reach a projected US$22.5 billion by 2022 from an estimated US$15.6
billion in 2015 and a forecast US$16.4 billion in 2016.
