Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) Market: Rising Demand for Lightweight Vehicles to Boost Consumption

Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) Market: Rising Demand for Lightweight Vehicles to Boost Consumption | 2025

The global dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) market features a largely fragmented competitive landscape, with the leading five vendors in the market cumulatively accounting for a 41% of the overall market in 2016. The intense competition has compelled companies to focus on new regional markets and expansion of existing production sites. Strategic acquisition of regional and local manufacturers, and addition of sales and distribution channels are other key growth strategies opted by manufacturers wishing to strengthen their hold on the market.

For instance, in 2016, Braskem, one of the key manufacturers of LDPE started operations in Veracruz State, South of the Gulf of Mexico with the joint venture Braskem Idesa. The company expects the production of 300 kilo tons of LDPE every year, adding to its present global capacity.

Transparency Market Research estimates that the global dicyclopentadiene market, valuing at US$561.8 mn in 2016, will exhibit a 5.5% CAGR from 2017 to 2025 and rise to a valuation of US$902.3 mn by 2025.

Asia Pacific Market to Continue to Expand at Healthy Pace

Unsaturated polyester resin application dominated the global dicyclopentadiene market, accounting for a more than 40% volume share in 2016. This application is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2017 to 2025, retaining dominance. In terms of geography, the DCPD market in Asia Pacific held the dominant share of over 50% in the global market in terms of value in 2016. The regional market is expected to remain a highly attractive segment during the next few years as well. The region is estimated to offer lucrative opportunities for the DCPD market in the near future chiefly owing to the vast expansion of the lightweight vehicles market.

DCPD offers high strength, fatigue resistance, and stiffness and are therefore used to manufacture wind turbine blades, nacelles, blade shells, and rotor blades. Consumption of DCPD in wind blade manufacturing has significantly increased due to technological advancements in the past few years.

High Demand across Automotive Industry to Remain Key Growth Driver

Rise in demand for low-cost and energy-efficient vehicles that do not compromise upon performance is currently a huge challenge faced by OEMs. As decrease in vehicle weight helps meet the demand for fuel-efficient and low-cost vehicles, composites produced with the usage of poly-DCPD, which help bring down the weight of vehicles substantially without compromising upon the performance of the vehicle, are often preferred. Thus, the rise in demand for composite-based wind blades and towers and fuel efficient lightweight vehicles are likely to remain the key drivers of the global DCPD market during the forecast period.

High Costs to Slightly Affect Market Growth Prospects

One of the key restraints hindering the overall growth prospects of the global DCPD market is the high cost of processing involved in producing high purity DCPD. DCPD recovered from the process of naphtha cracking contains different amounts of co-dimers. These co-dimers carry the risk of reacting with other raw materials during the production of unsaturated polyester resins. The presence of these impurities necessitates advanced processing so as to avoid unwanted secondary reactions in DCPD processing, leading to increased process cost. This factor is expected to hamper the DCPD market in the near future.

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

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.

Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid prototypi

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
