Abstract
The current world market for melamine is tight. Supplies
tightened in early 2010, as world
consumption accelerated in response to recovering economies.
Factors behind the tightness in
supply include production outages, low inventories, increased
world consumption and the fact
that melamine production from capacity commissioned in mid-2010
did not contribute
significantly to world supply.
Laminates and wood adhesives account for approximately 73% of
world consumption. In 2010,
conventional laminates accounted for approximately 8085% of
melamine consumption in
laminates, while laminate flooring accounted for the
remainder.
China is the largest single participant in the melamine market,
accounting for 39% of world
consumption in 2010; it accounted for 53%, 46% and 26% of world
capacity, production and
exports, respectively, in 2010. This trend is expected to
continue during 20112015, as
significant growth in Chinese consumption will result in the
commissioning of additional capacity
and increased production.
As a region, Europe is the second-largest melamine market,
accounting for nearly 32% of worldconsumption in 2010.
World consumption of melamine is expected to be robust during
20112015; average annual
growth is expected to be 35% in most regions. China, Central and
South America, the Middle
East, and Central and Eastern Europe are expected to exhibit
rapid demand growth.
China is forecast to experience the fastest growth rates (around
8%) and volume increases in
melamine consumption during 20102015. However, China's share of
exports is expected to
decline as a result of increased domestic consumption,
competition from other sources of supply
including Qatar and Trinidad, and increased regionalization of
supply, in which many consuming
regions are likely to source melamine locally.
During 20102015, melamine consumption in Europe is forecast to
grow at an average annual
rate of almost 4%. Growth in Central and Eastern Europe is
expected at almost 8%, largely the
result of increased production of laminates and wood adhesives;
consumption growth in
Western Europe is forecast at a more moderate rate of 3.0%
during 20102015. Other Asian
countries, excluding Japan, are expected to show large volume
increases during 20102015, at
an average annual growth rate of 4.4%.

Overall economic performance will continue to be the best
indicator of future demand for
melamine. Demand in most downstream markets is greatly
influenced by general economic
conditions. As a result, demand largely follows the patterns of
the leading world economies. The
major end-use markets include construction/remodeling,
automotive production and original
equipment manufacture (OEM).
