World Barrier Materials Market Report 2015 - Forecasts to 2020 for the $2.6 Billion Industry

Dublin, Dec. 07, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3bnzdt/barrier_materials) has announced the addition of the "Barrier Materials Market - Global Forecast to 2020" report to their offering.

PVDC is one of the key types of barrier materials. It is a highly effective barrier coating polymer that is produced by the polymerisation of a vinylidene chloride (VdC) monomer with other monomers such as acrylic esters and unsaturated carboxyl groups. It is the chemistry, density, and symmetry of the molecules in PVDC that give the material its excellent barrier properties against fat, vapor, and gases. PVDC is widely used in various end - user industries, such as food & beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agriculture applications.

This study estimates the market size, in terms of value, of barrier material during the forecast period (2015 - 2020). As a part of the quantitative analysis, the study segments the market by material and end - use industry at a country level with the current market estimation and forecasts till 2020.

The countries covered in the report are China, Japan, India, Taiwan, Brazil, Germany, the U.K., France, Italy, The Netherlands, and the U.S.

The segmentation, by type, includes PVDC, EVOH, and PEN. The segmentation, by end - use industry, includes food & beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agriculture.
