Sodium Silicate Market: Detergents Segment becomes Key Consumer as Industries Focus on Hygiene, TMR

The leading players in the global sodium silicate market are PQ Corporation, Occidental Chemical Corporation, and Kiran Global Chems Ltd. Collectively these players held a share of 12.8% in the global market in 2014, states Transparency Market Research (TMR). Companies are expected to invest in backward integration, which refers to production of both sodium silicate and the raw materials required for its production in the coming years. To stay ahead of the competition these companies are expected to offer services to the end-user industries in the near future. 

According to the research report, the global sodium silicate market is estimated to rise at a CAGR of 2.5% between 2015 and 2023. The market stood at US$5.8 bn by the end of 2016 and is expected to reach a valuation of US$6.9 bn by the end of 2023. The widening application of this colorless compound are expected to drive the global market on the path of success over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific to Dominate Global Market are Production of Automotive Tires Gains Momentum
In terms of application, the global sodium silicate market is segmented into catalysts, detergents, pulp and paper, food and healthcare, elastomers, and other such as agriculture, and coating. Out of all these areas of application, analysts predict that the use of sodium silicate in detergents will soar above others. By the end of 2023, detergents segment is estimated to hold a share of 38.0% in the global sodium silicate market. The increasing expenditure on hygiene and booming hospitality industry are expected to spike the consumption of detergents in the coming years, subsequently benefitting the global market. 
Geographically, Asia Pacific is poised to lead the global market as the region is set to acquire a share of 51.0% by the end of 2023. Improving disposable incomes and growth of industries in Asia Pacific are expected to be instrumental to this region’s progress in the global market. Analysts note that sodium silicate will find extensive application as a filler for elastomers in automotive tires. Thus, the emergence of the automotive industry in emerging economies of China and India have also been assessed to be important to the regional market. 
The global sodium silicate market stands to benefit from the mushrooming food and healthcare industry. The unprecedented demand for cleaning agents and detergents in these industries matches the demand of no other. The growing consumption of detergents at household levels with improving disposable incomes and awareness about hygiene have also spurred a significant demand for sodium silicate. 
Additionally, the usage of sodium silicate is expected to improve in the construction industry as it is predominantly used as sealant to enhance the quality of structures. Thus, the upcoming infrastructural projects, especially in the emerging economies of world, such as roadways, bridges, storage tanks, warehouses, and other buildings are expected to offer the global market a new avenue for growth. The report also sheds light on the fact that the demand for sodium silicate to treat water is likely to be a crucial application segment that will determine a large portion of the revenue in the global market. 
Enhanced Oil Recovery to Provide Lucrative Opportunities to Global Market
On the flip side, the global market is likely to hamper by the ubiquitous availability of cheaper substitutes. The wide range of alkalis available in the global market is expected to hamper the growth of the overall market. Some of the popularly used substitutes are sodium hydroxide and trisodium phosphate (TSP) among others. However, uptake of sodium silicate in enhanced oil recovery is expected to open up several lucrative opportunities for the global market.

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...
