Adhesives and Sealants Enhancing Automotive Safety

Automakers across the world are making notable investments in the research and development (R&D) on lightweight vehicles to enhance their fuel efficiency and maximize their power and speed. To reduce the overall vehicle weight, automobile manufacturers are replacing steel fixtures, such as nuts and bolts, with structural adhesives, which provide exceptional bonding. Thus, the burgeoning demand for lightweight vehicles, owing to the depleting fossil fuel reserves, will create a huge requirement for automotive adhesives and sealants worldwide.

Additionally, the rising implementation of stringent vehicle safety standards and regulations by numerous governments will drive the automotive adhesives and sealants market at a CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period (2020–2030). The market was valued at $7,438.2 million in 2019, and it is projected to generate $12,646.8 million by 2030. As adhesives can absorb the impact of head-on collisions, rubber compounds are being used in non-structural application areas, during the body in white (BIW) stage, to fill the vacuum in vehicles. These compounds help in shock absorption, which is essential for passenger safety.

According to P&S Intelligence, Asia-Pacific (APAC) accounted for the largest share in the automotive adhesives and sealants market in 2019, and it is also expected to demonstrate the fastest growth throughout the forecast years. This can be credited to the accelerating economic growth, mounting purchasing power of the middle-class population, and developing urban infrastructure in the region. Moreover, the increasing focus of governments, automakers, and the public on minimizing carbon emissions and enhancing the fuel economy of vehicles will augment the demand for such fasteners in the region.

Thus, the mushrooming demand for lightweight vehicles and increasing implementation of vehicle safety norms will propel the consumption of automotive adhesives and sealants.

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
