Adhesives, Cleaning And Other Chemical Product Manufacturing In Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Updated By IBISWorld

Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) The Adhesives, Cleaning and Other Chemical Product Manufacturing industry in Australia performed poorly over much of the past five years. The outlook for the industry depends on developments in domestic and international markets and the level of import penetration. In addition, growth will be influenced by construction cycles and changes in the general economy. Weak to moderate growth is expected to continue over the next five years. For these reasons, industry research firm IBISWorld has updated its report on the Adhesives, Cleaning and Other Chemical Product Manufacturing industry in Australia.

Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) The Adhesives, Cleaning and Other Chemical Product Manufacturing industry in Australia performed poorly over much of the past five years. Industry revenue is expected to grow by 1.9% to reach $1.84 billion in 2012-13, compared with $1.99 billion five years earlier. This equates to an annualised contraction of 1.6% over the five years. During 2012-13, domestic demand is expected to be worth an estimated $2.41 billion, reflecting the dominant role that imports play in the industry. The outlook for the industry in the short to medium term is primarily dependent on developments in domestic and international markets and the level of import penetration. In addition, year-on-year growth rates will be influenced by construction cycles and changes in the level of activity in the general economy. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Arna Richardson, “weak to moderate growth is expected to continue over the next five years”.

The industry's performance will be influenced by the growing demand for green products (including environmentally friendly adhesives and cleaning products) and the increasing adoption of sustainable production, consumption and environmental management systems by both the industry and its end customers. “This will boost production of products with environmentally friendly properties derived from sustainable raw materials, as well as those manufactured via environmentally friendly processes”, says Richardson.

The Adhesives, Cleaning and Other Chemical Product Manufacturing industry displays a low level of market share concentration, which is mainly associated with the fragmented nature of the products manufactured in the industry. However, concentration is high within certain individual market segments. For example, the household care product segment is dominated by major international players that operate on a global scale, often with global brands, as is the adhesives product segment. Concentration levels have gradually increased over the past five years in line with the move by players to either divest non-core activities or leave the industry entirely. This process is expected to continue, though concentration levels will remain low in the next five years. The top three players are Momentive Specialty Chemicals, Duluxgroup and Nuplex Operations.
