Tire Chemicals Market: Largely Driven By the Growing Automotive Industry, Analysis by 2016 – 2026

A tire can be made of various materials such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, synthetic textile, carbon black, fillers, stearic acid, zinc oxide, plasticizers, accelerators, and antioxidants. Although the major components of tire are natural rubber and synthetic rubber, various tire chemicals play an important role in tire manufacture. The raw materials used for this manufacture depend upon the type of tire and its intended usage.

Tires can be classified into two basic types: on-road tires and off-the-road tires. Apart from the tire type, the composition of tire also depends upon the geographical conditions in which the tire is to be used mostly. Hence, depending upon geographical conditions and the type of tire, chemicals used in tire production vary. Tire chemicals used in formulations modify the properties such as elasticity, traction, rolling resistance, and weight of the tire. 
Highly common rubber chemicals used in the tire production are carbon black, sulfur, silica, stearic acid, antioxidants, zinc oxide, fillers, and other plasticizers. Amongst all available tire chemicals, carbon black is primarily used in the manufacture of tires. However, owing to different environmental regulations and the increasing demand for green tires, the market for carbon black is expected to be hampered significantly during the forecast period.
Specialty silica such as highly dispersible silica has unique properties that reduce the rolling resistance of tires and thereby, the fuel consumption of the automobile. Silica is partially replacing carbon black in the tire manufacturing industry, due to its ability to reduce the rolling resistance and weight of the tire. This trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. 
Demand for various tire chemicals is largely driven by the growing automotive industry. The tire industry has witnessed various deviations and developments over the last decade. Continuous demand from the automotive industry for specific application tires has offered lucrative opportunities to manufacturers of tire chemicals to innovate and develop chemicals that serve specific purposes. This trend of innovations and development is expected to continue during the forecast period. However, sluggish growth of the automotive industry is expected to hamper the tire industry and the tire chemicals market during the forecast period. 
In terms of geography, the global tire chemicals market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the global tire chemicals market during the forecast period, owing to excessive demand from the region. North America and Europe are likely to follow Asia Pacific. However, the market in these regions is likely to expand at a slow pace during the forecast period, due to sluggish growth of the end-user industries. The tire chemicals market in Latin America is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, due to the growth of automotive and tire industries in the region. The market in Middle East & Africa is estimated to expand at a moderate rate during the forecast period. 
The global tire chemicals market is considerably fragmented; however, a few manufacturers dominate the market. Some of the key players operating in the global tire chemicals market include Eastman Chemical Company, Cabot Corporation, Wacker Chemie AG, Dow Corning Corporation, and Momentive Materials.

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
