| Brief Excerpt: | ...Fluorochemical demand in the US is ex pected to rise 1.8 percent per year between 2004 and 2009 to 1.3 billion pound s. Robust growth is expected for non-ozone-depleting hydrofluoroc arbons (HFCs) and fluoropolymers during the forecast period. (CFCs) and the ongoing phase-out of hydrochl orofluorocarbons (HCFCs). ing demand for products capable of meet ing high performance standards, th will be fastest in the developing regions of the world, in cluding Asia (excluding Japan), Latin In 2004, the leading suppliers of fluor ochemicals to the US market were DuPont, Honeywell and Belgium-based Solvay. Through 2009, growth wil l be limited by a lackluster outlook for the fluorocarbons segment due to the near elimination of chlorofluorocarbons Fluoropolymers are projec ted to be the fastest growing fluorochemical segment through 2009, with demand rising 6.0 percent per year to 215 million pounds. Gains will benefit fr om an accelerating manufactur sector, particularly...
