Increasing Demand for Nylon 66 Presents Appreciable Growth Opportunity for Muconic Acid Market, says TMR

The current shift from synthetic to bio-based products has changed the dynamics of the global muconic acid market. The three key players in the market are Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Myriant Corporation, and Sigma-Aldrich, holding a large share of the total market. The increasing use of muconic acid as an indirect raw material in the carpet and textile industry is anticipated to augment the growth of muconic acid market globally, reports Transparency Market Research in a new study.

Rise in Demand for Derivatives Escalates the Growth of Muconic Acid Market
An increase in the demand for adipic acid has been witnessed in response to high demand for nylon 66 fiber and resin. This will successively shift the growth the of the global muconic acid market to high gear. Another advantage of muconic acid is that it leads to lower carbon emission in the manufacturing of adipic acid as compared to cyclohexane.

The second largest derivative of muconic acid is caprolactam. Caprolactam is also used as a raw material in nylon 66 production. Nylon 66 can potentially replace the use of metal in automobiles, making vehicles lighter in weight. The growing demand for nylon 66 is anticipated to drive the adipic acid market, which in turn will benefit the muconic acid market globally.

Companies Shift Towards Bio-based Muconic Acid Owing To Increasing Environmental Concerns
“The global muconic acid market has reported modest growth so far,” a TMR analyst states.  The global market, which was at US$61.47 mn in 2015, is anticipated to account for US$86.54 mn in 2020. “Furthermore, the evolution of bio-based muconic acid will serve the dual purpose of market growth and environment conservation,” he adds.

The vendors are shifting towards bio-based adipic acid and caprolactam due to the growing consumer awareness of bio-based chemicals. This may drive the muconic acid market, but the major drawback with the production of bio-based muconic acid is that the technology is still at a nascent stage. Moreover, the alternatives used in producing bio-based adipic acid such as bio-based butadiene, bio-based benzene, and glucaric acid are well developed in terms of technology and product commercialization.

However, advanced research and technological development of bio-based muconic acid is anticipated to create immense opportunities in the market in the coming years. North America led the global market for muconic acid, with 39.1% of market share in 2013. Carpets & textiles was the largest application segment in the region due to high demand for nylon; muconic acid can be used as a building block in the production of nylon.

Europe emerged as the second-largest consumer of muconic acid owing to high demand for nylon in the automotive industry. In terms of revenue, the muconic acid market in Asia Pacific is projected to grow at a moderate rate from 2014 to 2020. Rest of Asia Pacific accounted for smaller share in the market in 2013.

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...
