The Catalyst Group's (TCG's) report, Polymer Additives: Technology Innovation is Driving Global Industry Restructuring is the first study of its kind to assess the impact of advances in new polymers, environmental and regulatory issues, and technological innovations on the area of polymer additives. The study addresses linkages to the polyolefins, PVC, elastomers and engineering plastics markets and technology. An in-depth assessment of the intermaterial competition, emergence of new markets and penetration of current markets, caused for example by m-polymers is provided. In addition, environmental issues, the quest for more cost-effective alternatives and the impact on the polymer additive markets are analyzed and highlighted.

Subscribing clients will obtain the latest in technology information, new product development, and marketing profiles for each segment. This information is invaluable for the purpose of benchmarking the current market dynamics and this comprehensive assessment makes it an important business and technology planning/investment tool. Continued fallout from the most recent technological changes in both new polymers and polymer additives must be anticipated now, if organizations are to thrive in the next millennium.

Polymer Additives: Technology Innovation is Driving Global Industry Restructuring is an excellent resource base for understanding the future and the global implications.
