Global Wood Preservation Chemicals Market: Eco-friendly Options Dawn New Opportunities at the Drop of Toxic Chemicals, finds TMR

The global wood preservation chemicals market is observed to be typified by low price sensitivity, as a result of which the significant players in the industry are competing with product differentiation as a basis. In a report released by Transparency Market Research (TMR), the plain sailing availability of raw materials and relatively moderate production cost have intensified the threat of new entrants. While the degree of competition is forecasted to be medium, the possibility of joint ventures, strategic mergers, and exclusive agreements could be high. 

According to the research analysis of TMR, the world wood preservation chemicals market is projected to rake in US$2.1 billion by the end of 2023, whereas it stood at US$1.7 billion in 2016. The various applications of wood preservation chemicals have proved to be vital in the advancement of the global market. The construction application segment had attained US$7.6 billion in 2016 and is anticipated to reach US$9.8 billion by 2023. Asia Pacific is expected to stand tall as a larger producer as well as consumer of wood preservation chemicals with a 38.4% share expected in 2023. 
Global Market to Leap on the Strength of Construction and Wood Furniture Industries 
The global wood preservation chemicals market is analyzed to be closely associated with the construction sector, especially in the emerging economies of Poland, Russia, Brazil, China, and India. As a momentous end-user division of the global market, the construction industry has provided a fine impetus for growth while riding on crucial factors such as urbanization, population growth, world economic advancement, and government support for infrastructure projects. 
The wood furniture sector is another end-user segment that is envisioned to vitally contribute toward the growth of the international wood preservation chemicals market. The Asia Pacific market for wood furniture could rise at a faster rate in countries such as South Africa, India, and China, owing to their elevating disposable income. The U.S. could be a larger market for wood furniture with respect to demand. 
Strict Regulations Demote Common Chemicals and Promote Eco-friendly Alternatives 
Pentachlorophenol (PCP), creosote, and chromated copper arsenate (CCA) were three of the most commonly used chemicals for wood preservation which represented an almost 75.0% of the global wood preservation chemicals market. However, after a risk assessment was conducted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), these chemicals were labelled as toxic and potentially harmful for use in residential applications, some of them even raising the risk of cancer. Subsequently, their production suffered on a higher side and there was a preference shift to eco-friendly wood preservation chemicals. 
This shift opened a substantial market for eco-friendly alternatives of wood preservation chemicals such as propiconazole, cyproconazole, and borates. Since arsenic was a highly toxic CCA substance, manufacturers have taken to producing arsenic as well as chromium free wood preservation chemicals such as copper azole and alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ). Wood acetylation, where the modification of wood is performed at a molecular level, has gained quite some popularity as an eco-friendly technique. Likewise, there is a surging inclination toward the usage of borates in the global wood preservation chemicals market. 
Key companies such as Rütgers Group, Lonza Group Ltd., Lanxess AG, and Koppers Holdings Inc. had accounted for an approximately 50.0% share of the international wood preservation chemicals market in the past. However, the other weighty players could be Janssen Preservation & Material Protection, Viance LLC, Kop-Coat Inc., Rio Tinto Minerals, KMG Chemicals, Kurt Obermeier GmbH & Co. KG, and BASF Wolman GmbH. 
The global wood preservation chemicals market has been segmented in the following arrangement. 
Wood Preservation Chemicals Market - Product Segment Analysis 
  • Water-borne Preservatives

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...

Virtual pipeline system market - Demand of cleaner energy alternatives, Trends 2025

Powered by the advancing concerns over renewability of energy sources has affected the natural gas industry positively. The transportation of oil and natural gas in a brisk, albeit safe manner has never been such an urgent requirement. With pipelines being the most common approach, they are the primary choice of supply of energy sources. Physical pipelines, being confined to specific geography, are not found to be effective in terms of unfeasible terrains or technically inaccessible areas. As a result, the virtual pipeline industry has been gaining recognition, and is slated to be one of the fastest growing markets in the upcoming years. According to a report published by Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global virtual pipeline industry is anticipated to witness a steady growth during the forecast period of 2017-2025. The industry opportunity is expected to be supported by the brisk acceleration of the demand of transportation of liquid energy resources. Industrial space...
