Research and Markets: Demand for Perlite in Horticulture Continues to Grow.DUBLIN Dublin, city, Republic of Ireland Dublin, Irish Baile Átha Cliath, county borough (1991 pop. 915,516), Leinster, capital of the Republic of Ireland, on Dublin Bay at the mouth of the Liffey River. , Ireland Ireland, Irish Eire (âr`ə) [to it are related the poetic Erin and perhaps the Latin Hibernia], island, 32,598 sq mi (84,429 sq km), second largest of the British Isles. -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c21628) has announced the addition of a new Roskill report The Economics of Perlite perlite or pearlstone Natural glass with concentric cracks such that the rock breaks into small, pearl-like bodies. It is formed by the rapid cooling of viscous lava or magma. to their offering. Annual world production of unexpanded perlite has increased by some 20% since 1997, principally driven by higher production in Greece Greece, Gr. Hellas or Ellas, republic (2005 est. pop. 10,668,000), 50,944 sq mi (131,945 sq km), SE Europe. It occupies the southernmost part of the Balkan Peninsula and borders on the Ionian Sea in the west, on the Mediterranean Sea in the south, on , Turkey and China. Estimated world production of around 3.1Mtpy is believed to represent just 60% of installed production capacity. World consumption of unexpanded perlite was estimated at 2.7Mt in 2003, and is expected to increase at an average annualised rate of 1% over the next five years. There will, however, be major differences in regional rates of growth; overall demand in Asia is expected to grow by at least 3%pa while in China demand, largely based on use in building materials Building materials used in the construction industry to create . These categories of materials and products are used by and construction project managers to specify the materials and methods used for . is expected to grow at 10%pa. The decline in construction activity in Western Europe Western Europe The countries of western Europe, especially those that are allied with the United States and Canada in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (established 1949 and usually known as NATO). is forecast to have bottomed out and overall demand for perlite to 2010 will now increase at a rate of 2% per year. This forecast growth in Asia and Western Europe will be offset by a likely 0.5%pa decline in demand in the Americas A·mer·i·cas , the See America. , which currently account for 35% of world total consumption. While some perlite markets have been static or declining in the west there have been two areas where growth has been much stronger, particularly in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. . The use of perlite in horticulture horticulture [Lat. hortus=garden], science and art of gardening and of cultivating fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants. Horticulture generally refers to small-scale gardening, and agriculture to the growing of field crops, usually on a large continues to grow and there is an increasing demand for high value perlite microspheres as functional fillers in wallboard jointing compounds. Both World Minerals and Dicaperl, the major US producers, have acquired companies with microsphere Not to be confused with Glass microphere. This article largely refers to micropheres or protein protocells as small spherical units postulated by some scientists as a key stage in the origin of life. production capacity and the number of plants producing perlite microspheres in China has grown from zero to over 20 between 2002 and 2005.

It provides a clear insight into all areas of the industry and an authoritative analysis of the prospects for the future.
