Thermoplastic Polyurethane Industry Driven by Extensive Growth of Global Automotive and Footwear Industries

According to a recent publication by Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) industry is expected to grow at a 5.5% CAGR during the period of 2013-2018, reaching US$1,746.9 million by the end of the forecast period. The global TPU market stood at US$987.2 million in 2010.The research report, titled “Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Market - Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Share, Trends, Analysis, Growth and Forecast, 2012 - 2018”, states that the global market for TPU is stimulated by the extensive development of the global footwear and automotive industries.
Thermoplastic polyurethane, or TPU, belongs to a class of elastomers completely thermoplastic in nature and possesses in abundance the distinguishing characteristics of elastomers such as elasticity and process ability on melting. Due to its elasticity, transparency, and oil resistance, TPU is employed on a large scale in various industry verticals. Paints and coatings, injection molding, adhesives and sealants, and extrusion are the major applications for TPU. In terms of volume produced and revenue generated, the TPU industry is headed by the application segment of extrusion. By volume, this market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period. In addition to this, the market for injection molding and the adhesive and sealants industry is also going through a significant phase of growth. In terms of revenue, the extrusion industry is developing at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period.

Welding Products Market Growth in Wind Power Sector to Create Opportunities, TMR

The global welding products market is moderately fragmented with the key players such as Lincoln Electric, ESAB, and ITW leading in the market. These three players accounted for a collective share of 30% in 2013, states a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). This market is capital intensive and thus, local vendors find it difficult to compete with the larger players. Local players are unable to compete with large players on the basis of quality, services, functionalities, and features. Thus, these small players are entering into the market by introducing products that are low in price. Some of the players operating in the welding products market are: Voestalpine AG, Sonics & Materials Inc., Fronius International GmbH, Rofin-Sinar Technologies Inc., Arcon Welding, Bohler, Panasonic, Daihen Corp, and OBARA Co. In order to increase their production capacities and focus on innovations, companies are adopting the strategy of merging or acquiring other players. Acco

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 prototypi

Oil and Gas Pipeline Leak Detection Equipment Market Driven by Stringent Government Regulations

Although renewable resources of energy have gained substantial popularity in the recent past, there is no foreseeable limitation to the escalating demand for oil and gas, with the growing population and rapid urbanization.
