Here is a feedback from President and CEO of ZCL Composites, Inc., a leading fiberglass tank manufacturer, on this market intelligence report.

"With more than 30 years experience in the industry, this is the first time we come across such an extensive and detailed market analysis for our industry.

From my stand point, and based on our knowledge of the market in Canada, the information contained in your report appears accurate in all respects i.e. in terms of competitors as well as in terms of market size.

With regards to the industry on an overall basis, it is difficult for us to say, but based on our knowledge of the International market, I agree with your comments and your findings are not different than what I hear from other sources.

From my point of view, one can easily spend tens of thousands of dollars gathering market information that is no where near as complete as yours, and for anyone serious about getting into the industry and/or wanting to expand within this industry, they should start by purchasing a copy of your study."

Report Description in Brief

Corrosion is a major concern in chemical storage and handling applications. This concern can also be found in applications ranging from the marine and offshore industries to wastewater treatment plants, and paper mills to the underground storage and handling of fuel at petroleum retail outlets. The total cost of metallic corrosion in the US alone is estimated to be $280 billion.

The corrosion market utilizes composite materials (fiberglass, carbon fiber, resins, and more) for the making of tanks, pipes, gratings and other related infrastructure components that must withstand harsh environments. Reinforcements used within the corrosion market are primarily fiberglass while the resins used are primarily polyesters, vinyl esters, and epoxies.

According to this market report titled "North American Corrosion Market 2004-2009: Opportunities in Pipes, Tanks and Pultruded Products", the North American market for fiberglass tanks, pipes and pultruded products is estimated at US $975 million. The fiberglass tanks and pipes market are further analyzed in the report for the following sub-categories.

Tanks: Applications in retail petroleum, chemical, pulp and paper, septic, wastewater, and other markets.

Pipes: Applications in oil field, retail petroleum, chemical, marine/offshore, sewage, and other markets.

Market size, composites shipment, market trend, forecast, market share and other valuable information for each of the above sub-categories are determined. Amount of polyester, epoxy and vinyl ester resin shipped in the above markets is also estimated.
