NEW YORK, Aug. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

World Solid Surface & Other Cast Polymers Industry

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0254672/World-Solid-Surface--Other-Cast-Polymers-Industry.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Plastic

World demand to rise 8.1% annually through 2016 China China India China Western Europe Australia Japan Engineered stone to be fastest growing product Asia/Pacific China, India to exhibit strong gains in demand

<

The largest regional market in 2011 was Asia/Pacific with 64 percent of global cast polymer demand. Advances in this region are primarily driven by China, which accounted for roughly two-thirds of the region's cast polymer sales in 2011. Residential trends, such as the country's ongoing urbanization and the development of a more modern housing stock, will provide opportunities for cast polymers. The continued expansion and improvement of nonresidential buildings will also benefit demand. The next largest market, India, is expected to post strong gains through 2016 as it continues to develop its housing and nonresidential sectors. However, overall gains in developing countries will be limited by the typically small size of homes, and the lack of disposable income for the purchase of higher-value building materials like cast polymers. Western Europe and North America were the next largest markets in 2011, each accounting for over 10 percent of global demand. Gains in both markets are expected to be aided by a projected recovery of the new housing market from a depressed 2011 base.
