Growing Popularity of Ready-To-Eat Foods Augmenting Demand for Sorbic Acid

With the growing popularity of ready-to-eat food items, on account of the changing food consumption patterns in several countries, the demand for food preservatives is growing rapidly all over the world. This is, in turn, pushing up the demand for sorbic acid, as it is extensively used as a food preservative, because of its ability to inhibit the growth of mold and fungi, that may spoil and contaminate the food items, efficiently. 

Moreover, sorbic acid does not affect the flavor of the final product, which further boosts its popularity as a food preservative in foods such as cheeses, fresh produce, refrigerated meats, baked products, and wines. Apart from this factor, the rapid expansion of the pharmaceutical industry, especially in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, is also positively impacting the demand for sorbic acid across the world. The compound is heavily used as an antimicrobial preservative in this industry.

Furthermore, the region’s healthcare expenditure is predicted to grow to $2.4 trillion by 2022. Because of these factors, the sales of sorbic acid are rising sharply all over the world, which is, in turn, propelling the expansion of the global sorbic acid market. The valuation of the market is predicted to grow from $347,661.0 thousand in 2019 to $521,126.7 thousand by 2030. The market is also predicted to advance at a CAGR of 4.7% between 2020 and 2030.

Hence, it is safe to say that the demand for sorbic acid will shoot up all over the world in the coming years, mainly because of the chemical’s growing usage as a food preservative.

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

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
