Molded Plastics Market: Emerging Economies Hive of Opportunities for Market Players,TMR

In a highly fragmented global molded plastics market, in 2015, the top 10 companies held only 40% of the overall market. Some of these are companies are Chevron Philips Chemical Company LLC, Eastman Chemical Company, SABIC, BASF SE, and LyondellBasell Industries N.V. Top companies in this market have established high brand equity due to a long presence in this market, notes a study by Transparency Market Research. This factor, along with the technical expertise of key companies makes it difficult for new and small companies to compete with them. 

“Focus on renewable raw materials to manufacture plastics for packaging industries is one of the key strategies that key players in this market have adopted, says the author of this study. Strengthening global presence by targeting emerging markets with high growth potential has also been adopted to accelerate growth. A case in point is BASF SE. In October 2015, the company established an engineered plastics compounding unit in South Korea and have plans to expand its existing engineered plastics compound capacities in Germany by the end of 2017. The global molded plastics marketwas pegged at US$124.8 bn in 2015 and is expected to be worth US$202.2 bn by 2024 at a CAGR of 5.6% therein. The market is expected to display a CAGR of 4.3% between 2016 and 2024 in terms of volume.
Declining Crude Oil Prices Positively Influencing Molded Plastics Market
In the present scenario, declining crude oil prices have positively impacted the petrochemical industry. The drop in oil prices has improved the profit margins of several petrochemical companies considerably, says analyst at TMR. Hence, the growth of the petrochemical industry is expected to positively impact the molded plastics market. 
The flourishing building and construction sector is also fuelling the growth of the molded plastics market, says TMR. With continued investments from government and private developers for infrastructural development and real estate projects, the construction industry has reached new heights. 
On the flip side, environmental hazards associated with the use of molded plastics, economic instability and political unrest in several countries predominantly in the Middle East, and unpredictable demand in the Middle East and Europe are expected to challenge the growth of the molded plastics market during the forecast period. 
The Middle East and Africa to Display Fast Growth in Future 
In terms of material type, polypropylene displays the highest demand accounting for its dominance in the molded plastics market. In 2016, the segment held 41% share in the global market. However, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is expected to display the highest CAGR of 8.6% between 2016 and 2024. On the basis of technology, in 2015, injection molding led the molded plastics market and the technology segment is expected to increase two times by 2024. Blow molding, on the other hand, is evolving rapidly with an impressive growth rate.                                                          
In terms of application, packaging is expected to be leading consumer of molded plastics until the end of the forecast period in 2024. Packaging is expected to generate the highest revenue until 2024. The construction sector contributes a significant revenue to the overall molded plastics market. Geography-wise, while currently, Asia Pacific contributes the highest revenue to the global market, the Middle East and Africa is expected to display growth at a fast pace. 
The global molded plastics market is segmented as follows: 
Molded Plastics Market, by Material 
  • Polypropylene
  • Polyethylene
  • Polyvinyl Chloride
  • Polystyrene
  • Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
  • Others 

Molded Plastics Market: By Technology 
  • Injection Molding
  • Blow Molding
  • Thermoforming
  • Others 

Molded Plastics Market: By Application 
  • Packaging
  • Consumable & Electronics
  • Automotive & Transportation
  • Building & Construction
  • Other Applications

This review of the market is based on a recent market research report published by Transparency Market Research, titled “Molded Plastics Market - GCC Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 - 2023.”

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...
