Boron: Global industry markets and outlook, 12th edition 2010

Global demand for borates grew strongly through the mid-2000s, at up to 8%py. Expansion was driven mainly by growth in the Chinese market ? now the world?s largest ? where consumption rose by 15%py. That, coupled with tightening supply and increases in both energy and freight costs, pushed borate prices to new highs in 2008.

With demand for borates highly dependent on the construction and electronics sectors, the global economic downturn from mid-2008 had a serious impact on the market. Demand in 2009 is down about 20% year-on-year, major producers have sharply cutback production, and prices had dropped through 2009.
