24 by far the largest producer of the World with production facilities in many countries. In Western Europe Wacker Group (Germany), Degussa AG (Germany) and Rhodia S.A. (France) are main producers. The total consumption of silicones in Western Europe is according to Will et al. about 296,000 t. The breakdown by application is shown in Table 1.2. The consumption breakdown is by the authors of the report designated "somewhat tentative", but is considered to provide a general view of the market. In this report the breakdown of the Western European consumption will be used as basis for a first rough estimate on the use of silicones in Denmark if nothing more specific is known. Denmark accounts for 1.2% of the W. European population, but for 1.4% of the total industry-related GDP (Gross Domestic Product). For the first estimate the per-capita ratio of 1.2% will be used. For most consumer products and products used in the building industry the consumption pattern of siloxanes in Denmark is most probably not very different from the common W. European market. Differently, the consumption of siloxanes in industrial processes will be very dependent on the extent to which the industrial processes, in which siloxanes are used as processing aids, take place in Denmark. The actual consumption may thus be quite different from the common W. European use pattern. The information on the W. European market will be combined with information about siloxanes registered in the Danish Product Register and information obtained from providers and users of silicones in Denmark.
