Polyisobutylene Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends And Forecast, 2013 – 2019

525928_357561407618243_2064896067_n
Polyisobutylene (PIB) is a linear polymer of isobutylene with varying average molecular weights and is present in various forms such as tough elastomeric solids, viscous liquid and soft solids. It is available in various forms such as conventional PIB, Highly Reactive PIB (HR-PIB) and enhanced PIB. PIB is typically used as tackifier and permanent flexibillizer in pressure sensitive and hot melt adhesives. In addition, it is used in various other applications including detergents, sealants, dispersants, lubricants and fuel additives among others.
North America is the largest PIB producing region, in which U.S. leads PIB production. In addition, North America and Europe accounted for the highest consumption. Growing demand from Asia Pacific on account of growing industrialization is expected to drive the market for PIB over the next few years. In addition, introduction and implementation of various environmental regulations regarding smoke and particulate emission levels which in turn affects efficiency of engines and other machines in automobiles and industrial units is expected to boost the global PIB market. However, at certain high temperatures, PIB is extremely unstable which may result in health hazards and explosions. This factor impacts the growth of the market in a negative manner. Development of recoverable and reusable PIB is expected to open future markets for the market.
Some of the leading manufacturers of PIB include ExxonMobil, BASF Antwerpen NV, TPC Group Inc., Ineos, Lubrizol and Chevron Oronite among others.

Orthopedic Biomaterials Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends And Forecast, 2013 – 2019

Transparency Market Research
Orthopedic biomaterials are organic or synthetic materials of biologic composition used for internal fixation of fracture. Biomaterial devices which are manufactured for large number of orthopedic applications are commonly termed as ‘Implants’. These biomaterials help in re-establishing the structural integrity of the damaged bone due to trauma or diseased conditions. Biocompatibility of the material is the primary factor to be considered before its usage in orthopedic applications. Other characteristics on which the success of biomaterials in biological applications depends on the choice of material for its construction, appropriate design, stability and various properties like hardness and tensile strength and their interaction with soft and hard tissues and intra and extracellular fluids of the human body and blood.


The orthopedic biomaterials market is categorized on the type of biomaterial, its application and by geography. The major types of biomaterials used in the orthopedic applications are divided into two groups; metals and non-metals:
·         Metals
o    Stainless steels: 316L
o    Titanium and titanium-base alloys
o    Cobalt alloys
·         Non-Metals
o    Polymers
o    Ceramics
o    Composites
The orthopedic implants by application are categorized as follows:
·         Orthobiologics
·         Joint replacements
·         Viscosupplementation
·         Bioresorbable tissue fixation products
·         Nonconventional modular tumor implants
·         Spine implants
Globally, North America dominates the orthopedic biomaterials market due to increase in aging population and is followed by European countries, Asia and rest of the world. Developing countries in Asia such as China and Taiwan are expected to undergo rapid market growth due to rising awareness of biodegradable products, vigorous research-related activities, collaborations and undertaking of various health conferences and conventions both by governments and private bodies.

One of the major drivers for this market is the vigorous ongoing research in development of biomaterials and its widened scope of applications. Other factors driving the orthopedic biomaterials market include increase in investments for novel development, government initiative of funding and grants, advancement in technologies and increase in elderly population.  The key deterrents responsible for curbing the market growth are lack of data for long term performance of clinical studies, stringent regulatory laws, post implantation issues such as fracture fatigue and dicey reimbursement policies.

Surfactants Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends And Forecast, 2013 – 2019

Transparency Market Research
Surfactants is a term derived by combining the term “surface active agents”. Surfactants are anphipatic molecules that help lowering the surface tension of liquid. Surfactants usually act as  wetting agents, detergents, emulsifiers or as foaming agents. Detergency, substantivity and conditioning are important properties of surfactants owing to which surfactants are widely used in different industries. The major applications of surfactants are in textile, oilfield chemicals, cleaning, personal care, elastomers, food, plastics, crop protection, pharmaceuticals, soap and detergents. Other verticals where surfactants are used include pulp, paper, paints and coatings industries. 


Two major types of surfactants are bio-based surfactants and synthetic based surfactants. One of the major drivers for bio-based surfactants are increased awareness among consumers towards eco friendly products. Moreover, low cost of synthetic surfactants and easy availability is expected to trigger demand for surfactants. However, consistently fluctuating prices of key feedstock materials is a major concern for the manufacturers and is expected to limit the growth of surfactants. High cost of bio-based surfactant is also one of the factors expected to restrict the market growth of surfactant. The development and commercialization of cost effective bio-based surfactant is expected to open new growth window for the surfactant manufacturers. Apart from that expansion of application base of surfactants is also expected to provide new growth opportunities for the industry participants. 

Europe is the largest consumer of surfactants followed by North America, and Asia Pacific. Based on its type, surfactants can be classified as anionic surfactants and nonionic surfactants. Anionic surfactants are heavily consumed across the globe. Nonionic surfactants are mainly used in combination with alcohol and fatty acids.

Some of the market players in this industry are The Dow Chemical Company, BASF SE, AkzoNobel N.V., Henkel, Stepan Company, and P&G Chemicals.

Asphalt Market - Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends And Forecast, 2013 – 2019

Transparency Market Research

Asphalt is the refined residue from the distillation process of specific crude oils. It is primarily used in road construction as a glue or binder and is mixed with aggregate particles for creating asphalt concrete. The other main applications of asphalt include production of roofing felt, bituminous waterproofing products and sealing flat roofs among others. The global demand for asphalt is increasing owing to the growth in the construction industry especially in the emerging economies such as China, India and Brazil. The application that are driving the demand for asphalt include paving products such as asphalt cement, asphalt emulsions and cutback asphalt, roofing products such as asphalt shingles, modified bitumen,  roofing membranes, mopping asphalts and standard asphaltic roofing felts and among others.


The global asphalt market mainly comprises of construction market segments such as residential buildings, new improvement and repair and nonresidential buildings. At present, paving products account for more than half the consumption of asphalt and will remain the dominant application for asphalt in the coming years. The demand for asphalt in roofing products is expected to grow consistently owing to the rise in building construction expenditures. The residential market will record the fastest growth as substantial gains in single-family housing completions will trigger the demand for asphalt shingles. In addition, the rising use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) will result in growing demand for asphalt emulsions as emulsions are blended with old pavements to reconstruct worn highway surfaces and repair damaged highways. In the nonresidential market segment, increasing construction spending will spur the demand for low-slope roofing products like roll roofing, modified bitumen membranes and mopping asphalts. Some of the key players in the global asphalt market are ExxonMobil, Imperial Oil, British Petroleum and Shell Bitumen among others.
