Such uncertainty lead to volatile swings in the phenol/acetone supply resulting in excess capacity. With most economies going into recession, solvent demand for acetone is expected to slow and acetone supply will most likely outpace demand. Some experts have forecasted the next upturn in the next 18 months, what will players need to do to reposition their businesses. Will mergers & acquisitions become more prevalent as markets worsen?
Challenges abound in the polycarbonate and BPA sectors. Following increased concerns over the usage of polycarbonate in water bottles, demand has been impacted. To add to the problem, the optical media sector that makes up the bulk of polycarbonate demand has been on a steady decline due to lifestyle changes. The automotive sector is also in the slumps thus affecting polycarbonate demand. What strategies can be taken to manage these challenges?
