Global Waterborne Ink Market: Low VOC Emissions and High Aesthetic Appeal to have Profound Impact on Demand, says TMR

The global waterborne ink market displays a moderate degree of consolidation with top three companies holding 27.8% of the market in 2015, notes a market study by Transparency Market Research (TMR). These are Siegwerk Druckfarben AG & Co. KGaA, Flint Group, and Sun Chemical Corporation. Top companies such as Sun Chemical Corporation are consistently involved in development and innovation along with aggressive market expansion for distribution of high-quality products. 

The global waterborne ink market is projected to display an intensive competitive scenario, says the author of the study. The lot of older and prominent players operate on the basis of long-term agreements and goodwill. This gives them an advantage of a safe playing field for engaging in expansion strategies. At the same time, the abundance of raw materials with their low costs attracts several new players in the market despite the fluctuating pricing in this market.   
The global waterborne ink market stood at US$2.3 bn in 2015 and is projected to reach a valuation of US$4.1 bn by 2024 expanding at a CAGR of 6.5% between 2016 and 2024. 
Packaging Application Segment Leads Market 
Packaging stood as the leading application segment of the waterborne ink market in 2015. Currently, the food and beverages industry is displaying an incessantly increasing demand for flexible packaging. This is because waterborne ink printing is low in weight and has an improved aesthetic appeal, which is expected to boost its demand for packaging solutions. The flyers and brochures application segment is expected to display growth opportunities over the forecast period. 
In 2015, North America took the largest share in the global market in terms of volume and is expected to be leading until 2024. The region will be followed by Europe and Asia Pacific. The growing packaging industries in China, India and other ASEAN countries are expected to be the major driving forces for the growth of the global waterborne ink market during the forecast period. 
Need to Substitute Conventional Printing Inks for Environmental Reasons Bode Well for Market 
The global waterborne ink market is displaying positive growth in terms of both revenue and volume due to several factors. Printing inks are harmful to the environment in terms of emissions and product disposal. As a result, printing inks related industries are closely monitored by government agencies and have come under the scrutiny of environment-conscious consumers. In the U.S., the implementation of mandates such as the TSCA and CAA, which is under federal control has been instrumental in lowering VOC emissions. Several other developed economies of the world have adopted similar processes for curbing VOC emissions leading to plummeted demand for conventional printing inks.  As a result, the demand for waterborne inks is on the rise due to its low VOC emissions. 
In several parts of the world, government regulations for the industrial emissions to be VOC-free is posing a challenge for the global waterborne ink market. Despite the low VOC content of waterborne inks, the rising prominence of UV-cured inks is expected to be strong contender to the waterborne ink market. UV-cured inks are completely free of VOC emissions and are quick to dry as they are treated with UV drying methods. Consequently, the risk of losing demand to UV-cured inks is anticipated to rise over the coming years. 
The global waterborne market is 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 prototypi
