Increasing use for air cartridges
The big growth is going to be in Asia, but there will be modest growth in Europe as well, according to a European: Air Filtration and Purification: World Markets and Fabric Filters and Elements: World Markets, published by the McIlvaine Company.
The market for cartridges, for gas turbines and dust collection has been determined for seven countries in Europe.
These countries comprise 70percent of the GDP of Europe as follows: France 13percent; Germany 18percent; Italy 12percent; Spain 7percent; United Kingdom 14percent; Czech Republic 1percent; Poland 4percent; Percentage of Total Europe 70percent.
The analysis includes the units and the revenue per unit. The forecasts are based on the cartridge price as sold by the fabricator of the cartridge for typical orders. It is recognised that for very large orders the price may be 60percent of this number.
The prices are reported in various ways and vary depending on the size and media. Some cartridges are smaller than
5m2, and others are larger than 20m2. The average media content is 12m2.
The media ranges from low cost cellulose to high cost PTFE. The cartridge price ranges from less than US$60 to more than US$200.
Average prices for each industry have been determined based on the mix of media types being used..
Revenue forecasts for the seven European countries are as follows: Cartridge Revenues Forecast for Selected European Countries, (US$millions at $1.20/euro):
2006 (90.34); 2007 (93.71);
2008 (97.08); 2009 (100.25); 2010 (104.03).
The number of units consumed by these seven countries in 2007 will be (Unit Usage Forecast for Selected European Countries: Equipment 2007); Gas Turbines, 277 344; Dust Collection 877 375; Total 1 154 719.
