Overview of the global antimicrobial plastics market

The global antimicrobial plastics market has many factors working in its favor. The demand for antimicrobial plastics in the healthcare and medical industries has surged in recent years thanks to the rise in consumer awareness about hygiene. After the outbreak of the H1N1 flu (swine flu) in 2009 and the spread of nosocomial infections in many parts of the world, people have understood the significance of antimicrobials in plastics, helping propel the market. Antimicrobial polymers possess numerous favorable properties such as durability, transparency, higher antimicrobial activity, and hardness. These polymers turn out to be more cost-effective and eco-friendly than others, and customers as well as manufacturers have realized the benefits they impart.

The use of plastics has grown tremendously in Asia-Pacific and large-scale plastic manufacturers have been using antimicrobial additives in many products such as bottles, medical equipment, and food packaging. This has lent a significant boost to the antimicrobial plastics market.

On the flip side, recession and slowing economies in most parts of the globe has adversely affected the antimicrobial plastics market. Furthermore, the absence of strict regulations regarding the use of antimicrobial components in plastics in Latin America and Asia-Pacific has allowed many manufacturers to deal in malpractices and compromise on efficiency. This has hampered the growth of the antimicrobial plastics market.

Companies mentioned in the research report

The competitive landscape of the antimicrobial plastics market is bifurcated into those that manufacture antimicrobial plastics and those that only manufacture antimicrobial additives. BASF, Ticona Engineering Polymers, Bayer Material Science, Teknor Apex Company, Momentive Performance Materials, and Doeflex Vitapol are some of the companies dealing in the production of antimicrobial plastics. Troy Corporation, Clariant, and Arch Chemicals are a few of the leading manufacturers of antimicrobial additives. Both sets of companies have been focusing on product innovation and developing cheaper solutions to gain a competitive edge over others.

The research report studies the growth and development of these market players and discusses the various driving and restraining forces that impact the functioning of individual companies. The report also includes a list of recent developments, mergers and acquisitions, and product portfolios of the key antimicrobial plastics market players.

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

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

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
