On a global scale, Southeast Asia represents the fourth largest market for synthetic latex polymers, accounting for eight percent of the global consumption, according to the recently published "Synthetic Latex Polymers: Southeast Asia Market Analysis and Opportunities" report by global consulting and research firm Kline Company. Although it is significantly smaller than the leading global markets, such as the U.S., Europe and China, it is still much larger than the developing markets of the Middle East, Brazil and India. Within Southeast Asia, countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia account for 82 percent of synthetic latex polymers consumption in the region. Acrylonitrile-butadiene (AB nitrile) is the leading product type, accounting for 44.6 percent of the total consumption in the region by volume, followed by sty-rene acrylics.
