“Oriented Films 2011 to 2015” is our fourth global study of
the oriented film and sheet industry. It includes orientation technology,
industry drivers, geographic trends, market statistics, and market forecasts.
This study examines every oriented film and sheet market including OPP, OPET,
OPA, OPS, OPLA, premium shrink film, barrier shrink films, and others.
This study names all producers of oriented film and sheet in the world, and it
includes historical and current capacity for each. Detailed profiles are
provided for the largest producers. Equipment suppliers are also profiled.
The market analysis of each film type includes many segmentations. For
example, OPET film is used in packaging, label, electronics, graphics,
industrial, and other segments, and the analysis provides volume and value for
each of these end-uses. In addition to end-use, segmentations include coating
process, production method, geographic region, and others. All segmentations
include historical, current, and projected volumes to 2015.
With this new study you will:
Understand the dramatic changes in the industry infrastructure
Envision the future of the oriented films industry through market
projections and important technological innovations
Understand why the growth of oriented films is continuing
Learn which applications are generating growth now and those that will be
generating growth in the future
Find out how successful industry participants will adapt to changing
conditions
