INDUSTRY STRUCTURE:

The Plastic Sheet industry has come a long way in India in the last decade. From a few sheet extrusion lines manufacturing engineering plastics, the number of manufacturers has grown almost three-fold today.

FUTURE OUTLOOK:

Your management has been identifying new areas of application where plastic sheets can replace traditional materials like stainless steel, asbestos, iron etc. The market for PVC Engineering Sheets is set to grow since sheets are mainly used as Pollution Control Equipment, in Waste Water Treatment applications, Sewage Treatment Plants as well as Portable Water Treatment Plants. As our economy moves from a developing to a developed one, the Sewage Treatment Plants and Portable Water Treatment as well as Effluent Treatment plants for treating industrial waste are a must. These are essential for preventing water pollution of both river as well as ground water and for providing safe drinking water to the countrys Population. The Governments Policy on social sector development in areas such as low-cost housing, safe sewage disposal and safe drinking water will increase the demand for PVC Sheets. In recent years the government

has been according high priority to social development measures. The World Bank and other International Regional Development Banks are coming forward to finance these projects in the developing countries including India.

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS:

The PVC Extruded sheets are not only in demand in the domestic market, but also exports are expected to grow.

Similarly demand for PVC Extruded Plastic Sheets is also expected from the UAE, Saudi Arabia and other Middle East countries.

As these countries resort to cost cutting exercises due to a fall in the oil prices, they look forward to India as a potential low-cost supplier for their requirements.
