Global Geosynthetics Market: Mining and Construction Industry Driving Growth, finds TMR

The global geosynthetics market is fragmented in nature due to the relatively easy manufacturing process of synthetic fibers, which has enabled the emergence of several players. Together, the top six companies accounted for 39.7% share of the global market in terms of revenue in 2014. TenCate Geosynthetics, the leader of the market in 2014, held 11.1% share. The other five prominent players are GSE Environmental, Inc., Officine Maccaferri S.p.A., NAUE Gmbh & Co. K.G, and Low & Bonar PLC. The global market for geosynthetics was valued at US$9.6 bn in 2014, and rising at a healthy CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period of 2015–2023, it is estimated to value US$20.8 bn by the end of 2023. 

TenCate Geosynthetics has gained market share in recent times after the acquisition of Performance Materials Corporation Baycomp (PMC Baycomp) in 2012. Though NAUE Gmbh possessed significant and yet smaller shares in the global geosynthetics market in 2014, the company is expected to rise after the expansion in production capacity. The market share of Low and Bonar PLC is anticipated to increase after the acquisition of Texiplast, a Slovakia-based company specializing in high strength geosynthetic products. The global geosynthetics market exhibits high degree of forward integration. Companies such as Agru America, Tensar Corporation, Tenax, and NUAE Gmbh and Co. K.G. not only manufacture geosynthetics but are also engaged in construction of projects that include installation of geosynthetic products. Skilled personnel is required for the installation of geosynthetics. Skilled personnel is required for the installation of synthetics. Hence, manufacturing companies also undertake construction projects where geosynthetics are used. 
Vastly Populated China Dominates Demand
In terms of volume, the geotextiles product segment dominated the global geosynthetics market, accounting for 40.1% share in 2014. The segment is anticipated to continue its dominance during the forecast period of 2015–2023, expanding at a robust CAGR of 8.4%. In terms of volume, the geomembranes segment held maximum share in 2014 and is projected for a healthy growth rate during the forecast period. Geographically, the region of North America and the country-wise market of China dominated the demand in the global geosynthetics market, accounting for 35% shares in 2014.
Regions such as ASEAN, Rest of Asia Pacific, and GCC experienced prominent growth rate and exhibited medium market attractiveness in 2014, owing to contribution from developing countries such as India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and the Philippines, and Iran. Growth in infrastructure industry is the primary factor driving the geosynthetics market in these countries. The geosynthetics market in Brazil, Japan, and Rest of MEA experienced significant growth in 2014 due to expansion in end-user industries such as construction and mining in these regions. Middle East and Africa is expected to be the fastest growing regional market for geosynthetics due to the rising usage of geosynthetics in construction and infrastructure industries in the region. 
Growing Environmental Concerns Favoring Growth
Increasing environmental concern to prevent soil erosion and increasing investments in infrastructure development are anticipated to drive the global geosynthetics market during the forecast period. Geosynthetics such as geogrids, geotextiles, and geocomposites exhibit excellent physical properties. These geosynthetics are flexible and highly effective. Therefore, these are widely used as reinforcement and containment material in construction projects. The rise in mining activities in energy sector is also likely to boost the geosynthetics market during the forecast period. Geomembranes are used to restrict the penetration of wastes from mines into the environment. Geotextiles are employed in mines to allow the seepage of water without the loss of soil. Conversely, the fluctuation in raw material prices and availability of low-cost substitutes are two factors that may hinder the growth rate during the forecast period. 
According to the author of the report, “The increase in usage of geosynthetics in green roof and green wall construction is likely to act as an opportunity for the existing players in the market. Geosynthetics possess excellent physical, mechanical, and hydraulic properties.”

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 prototypi
