Demand for Plastic Recycling Highest from Asia-Pacific

The soaring generation of waste products is augmenting the pollution levels, which is, in turn, fueling rapid environmental degradation. As a result, the governments of several countries are enacting policies aimed at mitigating waste material production or better managing the disposal of these waste materials. For instance, the Chinese government banned the imports of as many as 24 kinds of waste materials including non-industrial plastic wastes, in the country in December 2017. 


Furthermore, the rising public awareness about environmental consequences of plastic waste generation and disposal, the mushrooming demand for environment-friendly waste disposal methods, and the growing popularity of domestic recycling, especially in various North American and European countries, are also propelling the demand for plastic recycling processes throughout the world. This is driving the expansion of the global plastic recycling market. The market valuation is predicted to surge from $41,238.8 million in 2018 to more than $64,139.7 million by 2024.

Additionally, the market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% during 2019–2024. Depending on source, the market is divided into packaging, wires and cables, sheets, pipes, and molded products. Out of these, the packaging category is predicted to register the highest growth in the market in the forthcoming years. This will be because of the growing requirement for recycling packaging plastics, on account of their ability to generate huge volumes of waste materials. 

When industry is taken into consideration, the plastic recycling market is categorized into food and beverage, household and personal care, automotive, and construction. Amongst these, the food and beverage category will demonstrate the fastest and the highest growth in the market in the coming years. This will be because the extensive usage of several types of plastics such as HDPE, PET, LDPE, PS, and PP for storage, packaging, preservation, ease of transportation, and maintaining the aesthetics of packaged food products.

Geographically, the plastic recycling market will exhibit huge expansion in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in the upcoming years, as per the estimates of P&S Intelligence, a market research company based in India. This will be due to the development of numerous small-scale processing facilities and plants in this region. Furthermore, the existence of affordable labor and relaxed environmental regulations and norms regarding plastic usage is propelling the market advancement in the region. 

Therefore, it can be said with full surety that the demand for plastic recycling will soar all over the world in the coming years, primarily because of the rising public awareness about the environmental consequences of plastic disposal and heavy generation of plastic wastes and the increasing enactment of strict regulations regarding plastic disposal in several countries.

Why Oxygen-Free Copper Market Opportunities Galore in APAC?

Image
 The major factors in the global oxygen-free copper market are skyrocketing demand for oxygen-free copper wires in the electronics & electrical industry and electric vehicles (EVs). This surging demand is owing to their ease of welding, renowned creep resistance, high impact strength, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and high ductility. The market is predicted to grow significantly in the coming years. The outbreak of COVID-19 had disrupted the entire circular economy, significantly reducing this market’s sales because of the ruptured logistical network, shutdown of electronic & electrical product factories, and reduced EV production. Within the grade system, the oxygen-free copper market can be bifurcated into oxygen-free electronic and oxygen-free categories. The latter bifurcation generated higher revenue in the market in the past, not only in terms of value but also in terms of volume. The category will continue to exhibit this trend in the coming years as well. T

The Government of India completed the construction of 2,734 projects under the Smart City Mission till 2021. The government is currently working on the construction of 100 smart cities, 6 new ports and 14 coastal economic zones (CEZs). Likewise, Infrastructure Australia (IA) approved the construction of 44 new infrastructure projects in February 2021. The rising construction activities, on account of the booming population and mounting investments being made in the construction sector, will propel the need for hydraulic equipment in the coming years. Additionally, the rapid industrialization in developing countries will drive the hydraulic equipment market growth during 2021–2030. According to P&S Intelligence, the market generated a revenue of $37 billion in 2020. For instance, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) aims to offer institutional support to special economic zones (SEZs) and industrial and technology parks in Brazil. The UNIDO will help Brazil

Sales of Hexamine Set to Shoot Up in Coming Years

Image
The mushrooming usage of hexamine in several industries such as rubber, pharmaceutical, explosives, and fuels is a major factor responsible for its soaring sales across the world. Moreover, the booming population in several countries is pushing up the demand for medical and pharmaceutical products. This is due to the fact that the surging population is causing poverty, which is, in turn, propelling the incidence of various diseases such as neurological disorders and urinary tract infections. Apart from the aforementioned factors, the rising requirement for hexamine in the plastic industry is also contributing toward the surging sales of the material throughout the world. It is used in plastic synthesis and heavily required in the packaging and construction industries, on account of these industries being prominent end users of plastics. With the surging population level, the number of construction and infrastructural development projects is increasing rapidly in many countries around t
