Health Concerns Impede Bisphenol A Market Growth According to Merchant Research & Consulting Ltd.

LONDON – The bisphenol A market growth has been lately vividly impeded by far-reaching concerns about health risks due to the leakage of bisphenol A through plastic. Consumers are getting anxious and annoyed about the issue and are gradually moving away from bisphenol A to its substitutes. Directive 2011/8/EU by the European Commission provides for a ban on production of baby bottles containing bisphenol A and since June 1 it also prohibits import and trading of such products. A joint notice of the China’s Ministry of Health and five other ministries also calls for an end of manufacture of such bottles.

However the producers point out that end-useage of bisphenol A in bottles and packaging takes up only 3% of the material application in polycarbonate plastics. Booming growth of polycarbonate industry in the Asian regions and mostly so in China and robust demand from polycarbonate resins are both key bisphenol A market drivers. The market is forecast to indicate significant volume growth by 2015.
