RadTech Survey Forecasts Continued Strong Growth for UV/EB Technology
CHEVY CHASE, MD - A survey conducted by RadTech International North America finds that suppliers and users of ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) technologies are forecasting market growth of 6-9% per year over the next three years. A slowing in growth from previous double-digit increases reflects weakening economic conditions rather than a decline in interest in the technology, RadTech said.
In the biennial survey, "North American Market Update," respondents indicated that UV- and EB-formulated product use rose 8% during the two-year period 2000-2001, to slightly more than 77,000 metric tons.
