Why Is Paints and Coatings Industry Using Titanium Dioxide In Abundance?

Titanium dioxide is an opaque, white, naturally occurring mineral that exists in crystalline form. This mineral is primarily used for paper filling or coating systems for increasing opacity. The small particle size, high light reflectivity, and low light absorption property of titanium dioxide make them ideal for obtaining exceptional opacity. Due to this reason, huge quantities of titanium dioxide are used in the paints and coatings industry. Thus, the surging sales of paints and coatings, due to the flourishing automobile industry, booming urban population, and rising construction expenditure, will boost the adoption of this mineral in the coming years. 

Additionally, the increasing adoption of lightweight vehicles will drive the titanium dioxide market at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period (2020–2030). According to P&S Intelligence, the market will generate $24,026.1 million revenue by 2030. The mounting sales of lightweight vehicles can be attributed to the escalating concerns being raised over vehicular emissions, fuel efficiency of automobiles, and the surging carbon footprint. To meet the demand for such vehicles, automakers are using titanium dioxide-based coatings on polycarbonate structures in automobiles, as the compound can impart durability, scratch resistance, and stability to such structures.

Geographically, Asia-Pacific (APAC) is expected to dominate the titanium dioxide market during the forecast period, owing to the presence of a booming construction industry and the establishment of numerous manufacturing facilities in the region. The growth of the construction sector in APAC, on account of the mushrooming population and accelerating urbanization rate, is pushing up the requirement for paints and coatings, which is, in turn, creating a huge demand for titanium dioxide. Due to these factors, the APAC market will also witness the fastest growth throughout the forecast period.

Thus, the burgeoning demand for paints and coatings and rising shift toward lightweight vehicles will augment the consumption of titanium dioxide in the forthcoming years.

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

How Will Rapid Industrialization Drive Hydraulic Equipment Demand?

Image
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
