Ashland, Kurita and Dow are also expecting relatively high growth in 2013 and 2014.
The long-range forecasts are extracted from the information supplied by the companies or the analysts who follow those companies. The McIlvaine forecasts are in constant 2010 dollars, whereas some of the company forecasts are in inflated dollars. This accounts for some of the discrepancy. Also, these larger companies are often counting on inorganic growth through acquisitions, so there is no net revenue gain for the industry.
