Peculiar Properties of DCPD Makes it Preferred Material in Various Industries
DCPD is extensively used in manufacturing various types of resins such as phenolic resins, aromatic resins, and hydrocarbon resins, which are used for making a variety of products. These resins are extensively used in industries such as automotive and its aftermarket that includes a range of related accessories. It also used for making various sports and gardening equipment along with other consumer goods. The characteristics of DCPD such as high resistance towards heat and corrosion, high stability, and toughness have made it a preferred ingredient in several manufacturing activities. Furthermore, to make lightweight goods by using DCPD without compromising on its mechanical strength is anticipated to boost this market in the near future.
Increasing demand for polyester concrete due to the burgeoning construction industry has also raised an unprecedented demand for DCPD in the recent times. Its unique characteristics such as excellent adhesion, quick setting, and high strength have allowed made it a popular material in the overall construction industry.

Health Hazards of DCPD Cast a Shadow on Market Trajectory
The ongoing demand for DCPD is being hampered by growing awareness about health hazards it can cause due to inhalation. An unaccounted amount of DCPD is lost in the environment during transportation, production, disposal, and usage. Breathing the same air can lead to respiratory issues and cause irritation to eyes and skin. For the older generation, this can lead to dizziness, vomiting, nausea, and headaches. Owing to these reasons, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), and The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) have deemed DCPD as a hazardous substance. The cumulative effect of these factors is likely to restrain the overall market in the forthcoming years.

Unsaturated Polyester Resins to Show Remarkable Progress in Forecast Period
DCPD is extensively applied for unsaturated polyester resins and thus remains the prime application segment of the overall market. By the end of 2023, the unsaturated polyester resins segment will hold a share of 44.0% in the overall market in terms of volume. The growing usage of unsaturated polyester resins in making pipes, sanitary ware, and tanks along with its increasing application in marine and automotive industries is anticipated to work in favor of the market. In terms of revenue, the unsaturated polyester resins segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.1% to be worth US$371.2 mn by 2023.
The research indicated that Asia Pacific has been the largest consumer of DCPD due to the spike in the construction activities. The booming automotive manufacturing units across developing countries of Asia Pacific are also expected utilize DCPD in the near future. Owing to these reasons, by the end of 2023, the Asia Pacific DCPD market is expected to represent a 46.5% share in the global DCPD market.

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid proto...
