MARKETS
A new Frost & Sullivan market report says that red is the high- est volume organic pigment in use in the U.S.A. The reportwhich examines dyes and organic pigments (but not inorganics such as titanium dioxide or iron oxide), reports that the 27 million lbs. of red toners in use per year account for 35% of' the orga- nic pigments - whereas blue toners account for 27% of the annual poundage and yellows a little more than a quarter. The study looks at consumption by weight and dollar values, chemical classes used, end use industries, and suppliers. Frost & Sullivan predict that organic pigments will generate about 2.3% more per year, in terms of sales, than organic dyes. Plastics and printing inks will show the most rapid growth markets for these pigments. By chemical class, the monoazos are the most dominant.

Demand for high-performance fibres in the U.S. is forecast to grow at an average annual rate of 16.4% over the next 5 years according to a recent survey by Business Communications in Connecticut. In terms of volume, this means an increase from 15,000 tons to almost 26,000 tons. There is considerable over-capacity at the present time in the carbon and aramid fibre sector since high prices are restraining demand growth. The company reckons that advanced structural ceramic compo- nents - a fast growing segment - will be reinforced by ceramic fibres. With the exception of carbon fibres, the U.S. industry has the technological edge over its Japanese and European rivals.
