INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

The Company is an ISO 9001:2008 QMS certified company manufacturing Color and Additive Master Batches for dope dyeing of man- made fibers, various plastic applications and Engineering Plastics and Compounds.

 

The per capita consumption of plastics in India is also increasing rapidly. It is currently at 7.4 Kgs, but is still below global consumption of 28.9 Kgs. China and Asia has a per capita consumption of 24.2 Kgs and 21.6 kgs respectively. The per capita consumption in India is expected to increase substantially during 2011-12.

The per capita consumption of fiber in India is also quite low at 5 kgs whereas the global demand for 2010 is at 10.4 Kgs. China, North America and Western Europe have a per capita consumption 16 Kgs, 31 Kgs and 22 kgs respectively.

 

As the consumption of master batches is linked to the consumption of polymers and synthetic dope dyed fibers, the domestic market is expected to grow at the rate of 15% per annum for the next few years.

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

 

2010 was a year of recovery and growth for the global petrochemical and polymer industry. The Indian polymer industry has shown a growth of more than 15% per annum. The approximate polymer consumption in India has been around 6.2 MMTPA and is expected to reach around 12.60 MMTPA by 2011 -12. With the further addition of polymer capacities in India of approx. 2.5 MMTPA of PE and 1 MMTPA of PP by 2013 from the current level of 2.0MMTPA each, the overall consumption of polymers in India is bound to increase.

 

Indian petrochemicals industry has seen a growth of about 14-15% per annum over2005-2010, as per BMI, and a double-digit growth is likely to stay over the medium term. It should out-pace the global market, which is not expected to return to pre-recession levels of growth until 2012. Polymer output is set to accelerate over the next five years as capacity is expanded in India. By 2015, combined olefins capacity is forecast to cross16 mln tpa, while polyolefin's capacity is set to rise above 13 million tpa. While PVC capacity is set to stagnate, PE capacities will grow by 80%. India is poised to be the third largest consumer of plastics by 2013.

 

The company has made in-roads into some of the world's largest master batch markets.The growth from export sales is expected to be around 15% per annum for the next few years.

 

Due to the increase in polymer consumption, the domestic demand of master batches is also expected to grow by around 15% per annum in the next few years.
