据Freedonia集团公司一项新的研究结果,美国对工业用油脂需求量预计将以每年2％速率增长。至2001年将达到44亿磅(约200万吨)。 按该公司论断,美国市场需求量约30%仍继续依赖进口,主要是椰子油和棕榈油,到2001年按美元计,工业用油脂市场总额将达12亿美元,其中椰子油和非食用牛脂仍将继续占最大的市场份额,分别约占20％。但是二者均将面临棕榈油和棕榈仁油的竞争挑战。由于脂肪酸市场需求强劲(参见附表),到2001年时按数量计,妥尔油将继续保持领先地位,占整个工业用油脂需求量33％。Freedonia公司指出,塑料和橡胶工业对油脂的需求量每年大约递增4％,到2001年将达到255百万磅(11.6万吨)。
According to a new study by the Freedonia Group, the demand for industrial grease in the United States is expected to increase at a rate of 2% per year. It will reach 4.4 billion pounds (about 2 million tons) by 2001. According to the company’s assertion, about 30% of the U.S. market demand continues to depend on imports, mainly coconut oil and palm oil. By 2001, the total market for industrial oils will reach US$1.2 billion, including coconut oil and non-food tallow. It will continue to account for the largest market share, accounting for approximately 20%. But both will face competition challenges from palm oil and palm kernel oil. Due to strong market demand for fatty acids (see the attached table), by the year 2001, tall oil will continue to maintain its leading position, accounting for 33% of the total industrial fat demand. Freedonia pointed out that the demand for oils and fats in the plastics and rubber industries is increasing by about 4% each year and will reach 255 million pounds (116,000 tons) by 2001.
