NEW! AWA's Extrusion Coated Materials North American Market Study 2008

AWA Alexander Watson Associates has published in-depth reports on the European market for extrusion coated materials since 1984, tracking market and material trends and the changing market structure. This report represents our first North American extrusion coated materials study.

Overall, growth for extrusion coated materials in North America has continued in this decade, but the rate has slowed somewhat. However, with the increased pressure to reduce petroleum based materials usage where possible, the possibility of using a renewable resource based substrate such as paper or board as the carrier for a functional plastic material offers the potential of an improved growth picture for extrusion coating and laminating in the near future for some applications. In addition, development of renewable resource based polymers further enhances the growth opportunity for extrusion coating in several traditional applications and for new uses.

This study provides market data by application, addresses trends for each category of application, and covers marketplace developments in raw materials, equipment, competitive products and key extrusion coating operations in North America.

Applications covered include liquid packaging, rigid packaging, flexible packaging, food service, photographic and commercial. The latter category has been divided into 11 sub-categories, including several strong growth areas such as medical/hygiene, release base, and ovenable boards. In addition to covering applications and developments, we have included company profiles for the major North American extrusion coating companies.

Market trends for extrusion coated and laminated products and their applications are diverse. This report is an excellent business tool providing an overview of these dynamic markets.
