Global Selenium Sulfide Market: Leading Players Focusing on Emerging Countries with Untapped Opportunities to Stay Ahead, observes TMR

The global selenium sulfide market is oligopolistic in nature and the top four players represented about 60% of its value in 2015. These companies, namely Alfa Aesar, Fagron, Abcr GmbH, and Wockhardt are paying high attention to the Middle East and Africa and Asia Pacific to tap the immense growth potential, observes Transparency Market Research (TMR) in a new study. Players are increasingly adopting partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions as part of their key growth strategies. “The highly consolidated nature of the market makes it difficult for small and medium companies to expand their existing shares,” says TMR’s lead analyst. 

Booming Hair Care Industry to Put Asia Pacific at Forefront 
The valuation of the global selenium sulfide market was US$27,541.20 thousand in 2015 and is poised to rise to US$35,650.15 thousand by the end of 2024, progressing at a CAGR of 2.9% from 2016 to 2024. On the basis of product, the selenium sulfide 99.0% dominated the market until 2024, accounting for 72.3% of its value. The increasing number of end-use applications and the rising demand for hair care products are driving the demand for 99.0% pure selenium sulfide. The segment is projected to expand at a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period. 
Asia Pacific will continue to be the leading regional segment until 2024, commanding 58.6% of the overall market revenue. Changing lifestyles, rapidly growing population, and rising disposable income of the populace in emerging countries such as India and China are fuelling the growth of the region. The flourishing growth of the hair care industry is also propelling the demand for selenium sulfide in the region. 
Burgeoning Demand for Personal Care Products to Fuel Growth Prospects 
The burgeoning demand for specialized hair care products in developing nations is providing a fillip to the global selenium sulfide market. For instance, in Brazil, nearly 30-35% of consumers opt for hydrating and anti-dandruff shampoos. Similar trends are witnessed in other emerging countries such as Mexico, the Philippines, China, India, and Argentina. Moreover, the rising disposable income is translating into the greater uptake of personal care and grooming products. Since selenium sulfide forms an important raw material required for the manufacture of these products, their increasing demand is augmenting the market. 
Stringent Government Regulations to Inhibit Market Growth 
The National Toxicology Program conducted by the Department of Health and Human Services has proved the carcinogenic effect of selenium sulfide on humans. Therefore, there is a growing emphasis on the use of natural or less hazardous chemical products for the manufacturing of hair care products. In addition, consumers are increasingly demanding for herbal products. This is limiting the market from realizing its utmost potential. 
“Owing to the harmful effects of selenium sulfide, several governments worldwide are imposing stringent regulations on their use,” says a TMR analyst. To put this in perspective, in Canada, the permissible concentration declared by the Health Canada is not more than 2.5% in anti-dandruff shampoos and skin care lotions. Hence, such regulations are hampering the growth of the market. 
This report segments the global selenium sulfide market as follows: 
Global Selenium Sulfide Market, by Product
  • Selenium sulfide 99.0%
  • Selenium sulfide 99.99% 
Global Selenium Sulfide Market, by Application
  • Personal care
    • Shampoos
    • Lotions 
  • Veterinary medicine
    • Eczema
    • Dermatomycoses 
The above data is collated from a research report released by TMR, titled “Selenium Sulfide Market  - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2016 - 2024.”

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
