    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).
