Biopesticides Market: Growing Popularity of Organic Foods and Innovative Product Launches to Boost Market, TMR

The global biopesticides market is fairly consolidated with the top five companies accounting for a combined share of over 50% in 2014, finds Transparency Market Research (TMR). Some of the leading players in this market include BASF SE, Valent Biosciences Corp, Arysta LifeSciences, Bayer CropScience AG, Novozymes, and Dow AgroSciences. The top players are actively investing in research and development of new products, particularly microbial and biochemical pesticides. The leading companies are increasingly mobilizing their capital through acquisitions, licensing deals, and partnership agreements to consolidate their shares. 

Owing to an evolving regulatory environment, a large number of chemical pesticide manufacturers have made a foray into the biopesticides sector. In the past few years, intensifying regulatory pressures have led major agro-chemical companies to diversify their assets from chemicals to biopesticides. The global biopesticides market stood at US$1.72 bn in 2014 and is anticipated to reach US$4.17 bn by 2023, expanding at a CAGR of 9.9% during 2015–2023.
Spiraling Investment in Development of Microbial Pesticides to Bolster Uptake 
Based on the type of active ingredients used in biopesticides, the major types are microbial pesticides, plant-pesticides, and biochemical pesticides; among these, the microbial pesticides dominate the market. In the recent years, several manufacturers have invested heavily in the production and marketing of microbial biopesticides, which has triggered the growth of the segment. The microbial pesticides segment is anticipated to rise at an impressive CAGR of 9.70% during 2015 - 2023. 
Based on geography, the major regions for the growth of the biopesticides market are Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe; of these, North America dominates the global biopesticides market. The North America market contributed the highest revenue by occupying a share of 41.7% in 2014. The considerable growth of the regional market is driven by the spike in demand for organic food and stringent regulations on the use of chemical pesticides in farming and agriculture. 
Regulatory Pressures on Use of Toxic Chemicals in Agriculture Trigger Adoption of Biopesticides 
The biopesticides market is primarily driven by the spiraling demand for chemical-free foods, especially organic foods and the growing environmental regulations on the use of chemical pesticides in various regions. The increasing adoption of biopesticides in crop production and pest management programs is fuelled by the numerous benefits they offer over chemical pesticides. 
Biopesticides are preferred over traditional chemical pesticides to improve the quality of crops and enhance farming yield since they are cost-effective, have high host specificity, and are biodegradable, causing minimal impact to ecology. In addition, a surge in research and development of new products, especially in developed regions such as the North America and Europe is expected to boost the market in the coming years. Furthermore, the advent of innovative farming practices and increasing popularity of genetically modifies crops are encouraging developments in the market.   
However, the limited awareness on the use of biopesticides, their short shelf life, and the marked reluctance of farmers to use biopesticides are the factors likely to hinder the growth of the market to some extent. Nevertheless, increasing regulatory pressures on the use of toxic agrochemicals in emerging and established markets and new product launches by several agrochemical companies are expected to unlock exciting opportunities for players.

Oil and Gas Pipeline Leak Detection Equipment Market Driven by Stringent Government Regulations

Although renewable resources of energy have gained substantial popularity in the recent past, there is no foreseeable limitation to the escalating demand for oil and gas, with the growing population and rapid urbanization. Consequently, the demand in the global market for oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment is projected for a robust CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period of 2016 to 2024, according to a recent report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). As per the estimations of the TMR report, the global oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment market will be worth US$3.65 bn by the end of 2024, significantly up from its evaluated valuation of US$2.02 bn in 2015. Some of the key factors augmenting the demand in the oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment market are: development and expansion of existing pipelines and construction of new pipelines, increasing incidents of oil and gas leakages in pipeline and storage tanks at production facilities, and

Welding Products Market Growth in Wind Power Sector to Create Opportunities, TMR

The global welding products market is moderately fragmented with the key players such as Lincoln Electric, ESAB, and ITW leading in the market. These three players accounted for a collective share of 30% in 2013, states a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). This market is capital intensive and thus, local vendors find it difficult to compete with the larger players. Local players are unable to compete with large players on the basis of quality, services, functionalities, and features. Thus, these small players are entering into the market by introducing products that are low in price. Some of the players operating in the welding products market are: Voestalpine AG, Sonics & Materials Inc., Fronius International GmbH, Rofin-Sinar Technologies Inc., Arcon Welding, Bohler, Panasonic, Daihen Corp, and OBARA Co. In order to increase their production capacities and focus on innovations, companies are adopting the strategy of merging or acquiring other players. Acco

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
