Polyisobutylene Market: Players Focus on Capacity Expansion for Increased Output, TMR

Transparency Market Research, as per one of its recent reports, observes the global polyisobutylene (PIB) market to be highly consolidated with a handful of multinational players that operate globally and occupy leading shares. However, the scenario is expected to change with the emergence of aspiring players from Asia that may alter the market share of leading players.

BASF SE, The Lubrizol Corporation, TPC Group Inc., INEOS Group Ltd, Kothari Petrochemicals Limited, and Shandong Hongrui Petrochemical Co. Ltd. are to name some of the key companies operating in the global polyisobutylene market. Expansion of core products and divesting from other products is on the cards of businesses to strengthen their presence in the market. TPC Group Inc., for example, sold its Baytown operations of manufacture of nonene, tetramer, and other propylene derivatives to SI Group. This is to help the company focus on its core businesses such as polyisobutylene.

Another noticeable trend observed in the global polyisobutylene market is players vying for capacity expansion. The well-entrenched players are engaged in capacity expansion for higher output of core business products so as to meet the rising demand from end-use industries.

As per estimates by a report by Transparency Market Research, the global polyisobutylene market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.6% between 2017 and 2025 for the market to be worth US$6.39 bn by 2025 increasing from US$3.92 bn in 2016.

Tires and Tubes Application Segment to Remain Dominant

The segments of the global polyisobutylene market classified based upon molecular weight are low, medium, and high. High molecular weight PIB, amongst all, was the clear leader in 2016 with a whopping 70% market share. On the other hand, medium molecular weight segment is set to rise with the rising demand for lubricants with the booming automobiles and manufacturing industries.

Tires and tubes stood as the leading application segment accounting for more than 45% of the market in terms of volume. In the upcoming years, the segment is expected to continue its dominance on the back of continual growth of the global automotive industry.

From a regional perspective, Asia Pacific presently dominates the global polyisobutylene market followed by North America and Europe.

Automotive Industry Ramps Polyisobutylene Demand

One of the key growth factors of the global polyisobutylene market is the thriving automotive industry, which has been expanding significantly in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. This is because polyisobutylene is majorly used in the manufacture of tire linings and tubeless tires, which are essential components of the automotive industry. The global tire market is expected to rise at a CAGR of over 4% between 2017 and 2025, is expected to have a positive bearing on the development of polyisobutylene market.

Another factor stoking growth of the market is on account of use of polyisobutylene as an additive in the manufacture of various lubricant oils and motor fuels. Also, PIB when added to diesel oil benefits the environment in terms of reducing hydrocarbons and particulate emissions. Furthermore, PIB when added to lubricants improves viscosity and extreme pressure resistance of products.

However, the growth of the global polyisobutylene market is majorly challenged due to environmental concerns related to PIB spills,” says the lead analyst of the study. Nevertheless, rising awareness regarding the use of recyclable polyisobutylene materials is anticipated to present growth opportunities over the forecast period.

The global polyisobutylene market is segmented as follows:

Physical Vapor Deposition Market: Knowledge Regarding Benefits over Conventional Coating Methods to Fuel Demand, says TMR

The global physical vapor deposition (PVD) market is currently led by manufacturers such as IHI Ionbond AG and Oerlikon Balzers (Oerlikon Group). Together these companies account for the dominant market share in the market, clearly due to the superfluous coasts of PVD devices. As the patent protected nature of the PVD technology has restricted the scope for entry of new players, the existing ones enjoy stronghold in determining the price points. A majority of these companies are domiciled in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, finds Transparency Market Research (TMR) in a new study. As a result, only strategic collaborations with PVD companies across these regions can help new vendors establish their foothold in the global physical vapor deposition market. As per TMR, the global PVD market, which in 2015 stood at US$13.6 bn is expected to reach US$21.8 bn by the end of 2024. If the figures hold true, the global physical vapor deposition market will exhibit...

Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum Market - Global Insights, Growth, Size, Comparative Analysis, Trends and Forecast, 2017-2025

Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) is a composite application utilizing naturally occurring mineral gypsum combined with reinforcing fibers. It may also contain polymers to increase product strength. The molding process can be either hand lay-up or a chopped strand spray method. Stereotypically, the end product is used for indoor applications with negligible exposure to moisture or other environmental elements. Completed composites are in the form of ornamental or decorative columns, pillars and facades. With the slowdown in world economic growth, the global market has also suffered a certain impact, but still maintained a relatively optimistic growth. In terms of revenue, the Global Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum Market was valued at US$ 458.49 Mn in 2016 and is expected to reach US$ 888.35 Mn by 2025, expanding at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2017 to 2025. The Global Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum Market is boosted by factors such as: · ...

Gravure Printing Inks Market: Innovative Packaging Approaches to Bode Well for Revenue Generation, TMR

Transparency Market Research (TMR) states that the global gravure printing inks market is fairly consolidated. “The market is led by top six players, who reportedly held a share of about 75% in the market in 2015,” states the lead author of this research report. However, these players, Flint Group, Sun Chemical Group, Sakata INX, Toyo Ink Mfg. Co. Ltd., Huber Group, and Siegwerk Druckfarben AG & Co. KGaA, are expected to grow at a sluggish rate in the coming years as the industries are being challenged by the radical changes in technology, consumer behavior, and economic developments. To overcome these roadblocks, companies are expected to focus on research and development activities, investments in development and production of digital printing inks, and inorganic expansions. According to the research report, the global gravure printing inks market was worth US$1.8 bn in 2015 and is expected to pace ahead at a CAGR of 3.98% between 2016 and 2024 to...
