Global Medium Molecular Weight Polyisobutylene Market: Increasing Demand for Sealants and Adhesives to Ensure Expansion, states TMR

The global market for medium molecular weight polyisobutylene (MMW PIB) appears to be consolidated owing to the presence of a few number of manufacturers, who have been adopting strategies such as acquisitions and mergers. The top four manufacturers, BASF SE, Shandong Hongrui Petrochemical Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Shunda New Material Co.,Ltd., and JX Holdings, Inc. held a massive share of 42.4% in the global MMW PIB market in 2014. The growing number of market players from Asia Pacific will pose a challenge to the leading firms, finds Transparency Market Research (TMR). 
The global MMW PIB market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period between 2015 and 2023, reaching a valuation of around US$610.1 mn by the end of 2023, according to TMR. 
High Flexibility, Low Cohesive Strength of Adhesives Boost Growth 
Some of the major growth drivers of the market are rapid expansion of construction activities, technological advancements in medical applications such as drug delivery, prosthetics, and dental and disposable medical devices. The increasing demand for sealants and adhesives has also been assisting the growth of the global medium molecular weight polyisobutylene market. Factors driving the growth of this segment are low cohesive strength and flexibility of these products at low temperatures and their excellent barrier properties. The adhesives that use MMW PIB are extensively used in commercial applications such as paper, cement, roofing sealants, pressure sensitive adhesives, and cable glazing. These adhesives are also used in insulation, panel, flooring, partition, and roofing. Therefore, the market for MMW PIB will witness an upsurge over the coming period.

On the other hand, strict regulatory policies because of the potential harm posed by these products to aquatic animals might restrict growth. However, the chewing gum segment is slated to rise up with considerable opportunities. Most modern chewing gums deploy food-grade polyisobutylene as central gum base, as this substance enhances the gum’s elasticity and stickiness.   
Infrastructural development in MEA, Latin America to Trigger Demand 
Based on geography, the global MMW PIB market is categorized into Middle East and Africa, North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. In terms of volume, Europe accounted for more than 29.7% share of the global MMW PIB market. The rapid rate of growth of this region can be attributed to the flourishing heavy machine manufacturing and automobile industries which are driving the growth of lubricants segment in the region. Germany is a prominent country segment of this region.
However, it is Asia Pacific that presently leads the market for MMW PIB market in terms of volume, as per TMR’s findings. The regional market is projected to account for a share of 35.4% by the end of 2023. The tremendous demand for MMW PIB primarily comes from the adhesives application in numerous end-user industries of Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Vietnam, and China. The presence of strong manufacturing industries in India and China are likely to prove beneficial to the overall market growth. The regions of Middle East and Africa and Latin America are also likely to grow extensively, due to advancement of real estate and infrastructure industries.
On the basis of application, sealants, adhesives, gum base, lubricants, and others (including bitumen modification) are the major categories. The adhesives application is growing at a phenomenal rate due to high demand from construction and automotive segment. This segment is expected to expand with a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period, achieving a revenue worth US$258.7 mn by the end of 2023.

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
