Global Advanced Materials Market: Industrial Progress Offers Lucrative Opportunities, Observes TMR

Transparency Market Research states that the degree of competition in the global advanced materials market is relatively insubstantial. However, the global market is on the cusp of a revolution as several players are making big investments in developing state-of-art advanced materials to suit the modern needs of industries across the globe. 3M Advanced Materials held a leading share in the global market in 2015 of about 70%. The company’s dominance was a result of its wide product offerings and proprietary technologies it has been using for product development.

According to the research report, the global advanced materials market is expected to be worth US$102.48 bn by 2024 as compared to US$42.76 bn in 2015. During the forecast years of 2016 and 2024, the global advanced materials market is expected to progress at a CAGR of 10.4%.
North America Paces Ahead with CAGR of 9.1% during Forecast Period
Advanced materials are extensively being used in areas such as medical devices, automotive, electrical and electronics, power, and industrial amongst others. Out of these, the automotive segment is expected to dominate the global market in the coming years. This demand will be due to the increasing requirement for high-strength and lightweight components in the aerospace industry. The analysts state that the aerospace segment will surge at a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period in terms of revenue. Geographically, the market is segmented into North America, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, Europe, and Asia Pacific. The report suggests that North America show a remarkable CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period. However, this regional market is expected to mature in the coming years, giving emerging economies such as Asia Pacific and the Middle East and Africa a chance to flourish in the global market.
Need for Improved Aerospace Components Shifts Preference toward Advanced Materials
The booming development of sectors such as electrical and electronics and aerospace have been the driving factors behind the growth of the global advanced materials market. These materials have been in a great demand in these segments as they deliver better performance, strength, and durability. Improvement in the development and design of these materials has also improved their uptake in the past few years. Over the years, the extensive and exhaustive research and development have rendered these materials with high endurance to handle the amount of fatigue, abrasion, and stiffness. For the same reasons, composite materials are being adopted in manufacturing aerospace structures.
The market is also expected to be driven by the growing demand for electrical and electronics, which is slated to be characterized by miniaturization in the coming years. The adoption of ceramics will be significantly high in this segment as well as in medical equipment manufacturing. The automobile industry is also expected to be another leading end user of advanced materials due to the benefits these materials offer in improving the performance of vehicles. The growing prices of fuel and the increasing demand for efficient vehicles are expected to drive manufacturers to make vehicles that will be lighter in weight.
Price Difference between Advanced and Conventional Materials to Hinder Market Growth
The massive price difference between conventional materials and advanced materials is one of the key restraints in the global advanced materials market. Currently, carbon fiber reinforced polymers are used in industries such as aerospace, wind energy, and sports due to their excellent mechanical and thermal properties at high temperatures. Despite these advantages, the demand for carbon fiber is likely to suffer as its production is seven times more expensive than its conventional counterpart aluminum. The market could also be stifled by the high costs involved in manufacturing advanced ceramics, which demand controlled environment at a high temperature for achieving the desired result.

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...
