Cross-linked polyethylene foam

Last year, the research agency BCGroup conducted a study of the chemically cross-linked polyethylene foam market.

The purpose of this study was to study the market and forecast demand for products. Based on the results of the study, it was planned to make a decision to invest in a new production line (the customer company produced related products and planned to expand the range).

The objectives of the study included:

• assessment of market capacity in general and in individual regions;
• competitive analysis: production capacity, warehouse location, size of customer base, financial indicators;
• monitoring the assortment of manufacturers and importers;
• price monitoring.

Desk research, expert interviews and an online survey of organizational specialists were used as methods for collecting information. The survey was attended by supply managers, purchasing managers and other decision makers on the purchase of thermal insulation materials at enterprises.

According to the results of the study, it turned out that the investment would pay off no earlier than in 8 years, which did not suit investors. Therefore, the decision was made not to invest in a new production line.
