Abstract
US demand to rise 3.7% annually through 2012
Demand for cast polymers is forecast to increase 3.7 percent annually to 266
million square feet in 2012. Growth will be driven by increasing consumer
desire for engineered stone -- primarily engineered quartz -- which is
projected to advance 7.2 percent annually to 85.5 million square feet in 2012.
Homeowners are attracted to engineered quartz because of its performance and
aesthetic qualities. Engineered quartz features resistance to stains, impacts,
moisture and other damages caused by wear and tear. The material can be easily
cleaned, and has minimal maintenance requirements, making it ideal for
consumers who want a durable surfacing material.
Additionally, engineered quartz is seen as an aesthetically pleasing material.
Engineered quartz can look like natural stone, or can be made in a wide range
of colors not normally seen in nature. The material can also be embedded with
semiprecious stones or glass chips to create a visually attractive surface.
Homeowners will increasingly install engineered quartz surfaces, feeling that
they enhance the beauty of a home while increasing its value.
Study coverage
It presents historical demand data (1997, 2002, 2007) as well as forecasts for
2012 and 2017 by material, product, end use and US region. In addition, the
study assesses market environment factors, evaluates market share and profiles
40 competitors in the US industry.
