Global Furfural Market To Reach $1,355.1 Mn By 2023

Transparency Market Research has published a market study on the global furfural market for the 2015-2023 period. The report, titled “Furfural Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2015 - 2023,” states that the global furfural market will rise at an impressive 13.1% CAGR from 2015 to 2023. This will result in the market’s valuation increasing from US$450.0 mn in 2014 to US$1.3 bn by 2023.

Furfural is a reddish-brown organic compound that can be derived from a number of agricultural byproducts such as oat, corncobs, wheat bran, and sawdust. With a flash point of 140 °F, furfural is denser than water and is miscible in water. It is toxic if ingested or if it comes in contact with the human system through skin absorption or inhalation. 
Rising awareness about the utilization of renewable materials in place of petrochemicals across various industry verticals is driving the furfural market. Environmental deterioration due to the use of petrochemical resources has compelled manufacturers to switch to renewable alternatives such as biomass-based platform chemicals. This has bolstered the usability of furfural for the production of biofuels and biochemicals. 
Furfural offers excellent physical and chemical properties of thermosetting, corrosion resistance, and physical strength. Furfural is a naturally sourced precursor for a wide range of furfural-based solvents and chemicals such as methylyfuran, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, methyltetrahydrofuran, furoic acid, furfuryl alcohol, tetrahydrofuran, and dihydropyran. With increasing applications of furfural, the furfural market has expanded handsomely in the last few years. 
However, factors such as inefficient production process leading to low product yield are a restraint on the market’s growth. This in turn leads to high operating costs, resulting in high cost of the final product. Due to these reasons, furfural has limited commercial applications. On the contrary, new techniques resulting in high yield and low cost will lead to higher utilization of the product in industries. 
By application, furfuryl alcohol was the dominant segment and held a share of more than 80% in the global market in 2014. The application is expected to display the fastest growth in this market during the forecast period. It is used in resins as a binder in the foundry industry. Furfuryl alcohol offers excellent mechanical strength and binding properties as needed in the cores and sand molds of foundries.
Solvents are also a key application of furfural. Furfural is used as an intermediate substance during the production of refractory materials, in butadiene extraction due to its physical properties, and resin-bonded grinding wheels. In pharmaceutical applications, furfural is used in the manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients and alternate pharmaceutical intermediaries.
The top companies that operate in the global furfural market are Arcoy Biorefinery Pvt. Ltd., KRBL Ltd., Linzi Organic Chemical Inc. Ltd., Penn A Kem LLC, Tanin Senvica d.d.,., Central Romana Corporation Ltd., Illovo Sugar Ltd., Lenzing AG, Nutrafr S.A., Silvateam S.p.a., and Tieling North Furfural (Group) Co. Ltd.
The global furfural market has been segmented into:
Furfural Market - Application Analysis
  • Furfuryl Alcohol
  • Solvents
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Chemical Intermediates
  • Others (flavors & fragrance, herbicides, pesticides, etc.)

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
