Global Cast Polymers Market By Type (Solid Surface, Cultured marble, Engineered Stone), By Material (Alumina Trihydrate, Calcium Carbonate, Resins, Quartz & Other stones, Silica) By Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, RoW) - Analysis and Forecast to 2019

Cast Polymers is a term used to cover the solid surface materials, cultured stone, and engineered stone in a wide range of household and commercial applications. The major applications of these cast polymers are counter tops for households as well as commercial buildings, lavatories, bathtubs, enclosure sets, fireplace surrounds, floor tiles, and so on.

Cast polymer products are man-made, chemically–bonded, mineral-filled, polymeric materials, which are molded and hardened to a solid material in a variety of shapes that meet diverse design needs. It is a stronger product and is less brittle than marble. Solid surfaces are made with the combination of alumina trihydrate (60-65%), resins (30-35%), cultured stone is made of calcium carbonate (92-96%), and remaining of silica and other products. Engineered stones are basically made out of natural quartz (93-94%) and remaining of polyester resins.

This study basically aims to estimate the global market of cast polymers for 2015 and to estimate the demand by 2020.  The major market for cast polymers is Asia-Pacific, which is then followed by North America and Europe. This report also provides market dynamics, such as drivers, restraints, and opportunities.

The major players involved in the global cast polymers market are the R.J. Marshall Company (U.S.), Agco, Inc. (U.S), E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (U.S.), and so on. The competitive scenarios of the top players in the market have also been discussed in detail in this report.

Cast polymer is a group term, which consists of different products, such as solid surfaces, cultured marbles, and engineered stones. Under these products, a wide range of sub-categories are available like kitchen sink, bathtubs, counter tops, lavatories, vanities, fireplace surrounds, and many others. Due to its high mechanical properties it is used in products such as counter tops, bathtubs, lavatories, vanities, shower receptors, enclosure sets, fireplace surrounds, window sills, wall panels, floor tiles, whirlpool baths and molding accents. Cast polymers are segmented in two end user industries which are residential and non-residential areas.

Materials used in these products are alumina trihydrate, calcium carbonate, natural quartz, resins, silica, and many others. Solid Surfaces are made with alumina trihydrate and resins, likewise cultured marble are made with calcium carbonate and silica. On the other hand, engineered stones are made from natural quartz and resins.

The Asia-Pacific cast polymers market, in terms of volume, is projected to reach 146.2 million sqm by 2020 from 103.2 million sqm in 2015, at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period from 2015 to 2020. The growth in the construction industry, technical advancements, and better quality products are among the key factors that are driving this market’s growth. However, technical advancements in cast polymers, is one of the major reason for the exponential growth and is expected to remain high in the future.        

On the other hand, the prices of cast polymers products and the availability of these products & services are expected to restrain the growth of this market. The solid surface segment held the largest market share of 46.1%, by volume, in 2014. However, the engineered stone segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period from 2015 to 2020.

Based on regions, the global cast polymers market is segmented into Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, and the Rest of the World.  Asia-Pacific held the largest market share of 44.7%, by volume, in 2014. It is projected to grow at a higher CAGR of 7.2% during the given forecast period.

The key players in the global cast polymers market include Agco, Inc. (U.S.), R. J. Marshall company (U.S.), Caesarstone Sdot-Yam (Israel), E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (U.S.), and many others.
