The European Market for Thermal Insulation Products (Volume 7) Poland

SUMMARY

IAL Consultants is pleased to announce its new edition of its multi-client survey on the markets for Thermal Insulation Products in Europe.

This expanded report, including both Western and Eastern Europe, following the separate editions published in 2002, builds upon IAL's knowledge of this market. The survey details the market for 2005 and projected sales of thermal insulation products through to 2010.

The research has drawn on the extensive database on thermal insulation markets developed by IAL for previous multi-client surveys carried out since 1988 and on other studies that have discussed specific raw materials used in thermal insulation products.

The contents of the report are based on a thorough investigation of the market that has included extensive primary research and comprehensive coverage of all relevant secondary sources. A substantial number of interviews have been carried out across Europe with manufacturers, converters, distributors and end-users as well as with representatives of relevant trade associations.

The geographical scope of the study includes all the major European markets for thermal insulation products. The results have been presented in separate country (or groups of countries) volumes. Individual volumes covering the total European market for each of the major types of insulation are also available.
