Global Sodium Borohydride Market: North America to Lead as Paper and Pulp Industry Shows Remarkable Progress, notes TMR

The global sodium borohydride market is dominated by very few players, thus making the competitive landscape fairly consolidated, observes Transparency Market Research. As of 2015, Kemira led the overall market with a stellar share of 38.3%. Vertellus Specialty Materials and Montgomery Chemicals have also been identified as important players in the market. These companies are expected to dominate the global market with their aggressive marketing strategies and intensive research and development.

According to the research report, the global sodium borohydride market is expected to reach a valuation of US$2.1 bn by the end of 2024 as compared to US$1.3 bn in 2015. Between the forecast years of 2016 and 2024, the global market is estimated to rise up at a CAGR of 5.3%.
North America to Acquire Share of 34.5% in Global Market by 2024
The end users of sodium borohydride are industries such as pulp and paper, pharmaceuticals, textiles, metal recovery, organic chemical purification, and others such as electronic products and agrochemicals. Out of these segments, the paper and pulp industry is expected to constitute a major chunk of the global market. The overall paper and pulp industry is expected to be propelled by the rising demand for packaging products. This emerging trend is expected to contribute significantly to the increasing uptake of sodium borohydride in the coming years. The report states that the paper and pulp industry is expected to progress at a CAGR of 4.7% between 2016 and 2024.
In terms of geography, the global sodium borohydride market is segmented into regions such as North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. Of these regions, North America holds a major share in the overall market. Despite a marginal slump, this regional market is estimated to boast a share of 34.5% by the end of 2024 in the global market. The flourishing paper and pulp industry in North America is expected to boost the region’s consumption of sodium borohydride in the near future.
Increasing Focus on Healthcare Industry Indicates Rise in Uptake of Sodium Borohydride
The key growth driver for the global sodium borohydride market is the soaring demand for this raw material in the pharmaceutical industry. The increasing focus on the healthcare industry is anticipated to increase the investments in the research and development of antibiotics, which in turn, is expected have a positive reflection on the demand for sodium borohydride. The researchers also attribute the progress of the global sodium borohydride market on the booming paper and pulp industry. “The global paper and pulp industry is expected to progress at a pace of 1.5%-2% every year, which is anticipated to be the major driving force for the sodium borohydride market,” states the lead author of this research report.
Safety Issues in Handling Sodium Borohydride to Challenge Market Growth
The steady growth rate of the global sodium borohydride market is likely to face a few hurdles during the forecast period. For instance, the overall market will be challenged by the growing awareness about the hazardous impact of sodium borohydride on human health. It is a well-known fact that if safety regulations pertaining to handling chemicals are not followed it can lead to irritation to eyes, respiratory tract, and skin. Thus, in light of dangers pertaining to the handling of this chemical, manufacturers could opt for safer alternatives.
The global sodium borohydride market has been segmented as follows:

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 proto...
