Executive Summary
•The Colombian engineering polymers market has recovered quickly from the 2008-2009 economic crisis and stabilized in 2011, with sales worth $ x x million and a volume of x x metric tons (MT).
•A trend of replacing traditional materials in industrial manufacturing, such as wood and metals, is being reinforced in Colombia and favors engineering polymers, due to globale ecological trends.
•Colombia typically imports all engineering plastics and resins, so it is heavily affected by changes in international prices, which can lead to reduced competitiveness of the manufacturers and companies that their raw material are plastics.
•Sales volume is expected to grow at a x xpercent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2011 to 2018, reaching x x MT by 2018.
•Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Polyamide (PA) are the largest segments, with x x percent and x x percent of the market volume, respectively, because of their wide range of applications. Polycarbonate (PC) is next, with x xpercent of market volume, followed by polyoxymethylene (POM) with x xpercent and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) with x x percent.
