Asbestos Demand on Steep Downward Path as Application Bans Geared up According to Merchant Research & Consulting Ltd



LONDON – The application areas and demand for asbestos are both declining in many countries all over the globe as a consequence of widely applied bans on this material. Nevertheless there still remain countries with a strong dependence on this mineral in the construction field as their ongoing policies farvour the use of asbestos for building purposes.

The world production capacities for asbestos are highly impacted by the slowdown of the demand in many developed regions of the world. The key application areas are forecast to be restricted to few regions only in future and the total global manufacturing volume will drop to 1,8 Mt in five-year time. The decrease of price is also expected.
