World Pulp & Paper Chemicals - Market Size, Market Share, Demand Forecast, Sales, Company Profiles, Market Research, Industry Trends
World pulp and paper chemical demand will grow nearly four percent annually, with ECF (elemental chlorine-free) pulping accounting for 75% of world bleached pulp production in 2003. Greater use of recycled wastepaper will favor recycling and deinking chemicals, wet and dry strength resins, retention and drainage aids, and defoamers.
This study analyzes the $26 billion world pulp and paper chemical industry. It presents historical data (1989, 1993 and 1998) and forecasts to 2003 and 2008 for pulping and deinking chemicals (e.g., caustic soda, lime, elemental sulfur, soda ash), bleaching chemicals (sodium chlorate, chlorine, oxygen and ozone, sodium hydrosulfite, hydrogen peroxide), pigments and fillers (calcium carbonate, clays, talc, titanium dioxide), sizing agents, coatings, wet and dry strength additives, brighteners and dyestuffs, retention and drainage aids, biocides and defoamers. Supply and demand numbers are also presented for six geographic regions and 26 key countries.
The study also examines the market environment, details market share and competitive strategies, and profiles over 55 major suppliers including Dow Chemical, Akzo Nobel, IMERYS, BASF, Pluess-Staufer, DuPont, Hercules, Elf Atochem and Clariant.

Pulp & Paper Chemicals - Market Size, Market Share, Market Leaders, Demand Forecast, Sales, Company Profiles, Market Research, Industry Trends
US market value for pulp and paper chemicals will grow 4.5 percent annually through 2006, driven by a shift toward higher-value types. Specialty additives will lead gains based on their ability to reduce costs, improve compliance and maximize productivity. With chlorine phased out, reductions in commodity chemicals will stabilize and then reverse.
This study analyzes the $6.1 billion US pulp and paper chemicals industry. It presents historical data for 1992, 1996 and 2001 and forecasts to 2006 and 2011 by type (e.g., fillers and coating pigments, pulping and deinking chemicals, sizing agents, coating polymers, dry and wet strength additives, brighteners and dyestuffs, biocides, defoamers, bleaching chemicals); and by market.
The study also examines the US market environment, details industry structure and market share, and profiles 50 key companies including Akzo Nobel, Bayer, Dow Chemical, DuPont, Hercules, JM Huber, and Imerys.
