What Are Advantages of Polymer Concrete in Infra Repair & Maintenance?

In 2018, the Construction Industry Value Chain report of the International Finance Corporation, which works under the World Bank, had said that more than 75% of the infrastructure needed in 2050 hasn’t even been constructed yet. This reflects a massive growth in the global construction industry in the coming years, which would propel the demand for all kinds of construction chemicals and materials. One of the most-important such materials is concrete, which forms the literal ‘building blocks’ of buildings and other pieces of infrastructure.

This is why the polymer concrete market size has been projected by P&S Intelligence to rise to $2,964.0 million by 2023 from $1,975.8 million in 2017, at a 7.1% CAGR between 2018 and 2023. This is because with the increasing focus on the safety and durability of structures, conventional concrete is being replaced with polymer concrete. Such material uses a polymer to bind everything together, instead of lime-type cements. The key advantages of polymer concrete are high flexural, compressive, and tensile strength, longer durability with regards to thaw and freeze cycles, strong chemical and corrosion resistance, and good adhesion.

Presently, North America is the largest polymer concrete market because of the increasing infrastructure repair activities here. All pieces of civil, commercial, industrial, and residential infrastructure are strongly regulated and thoroughly inspected for safety and longevity. As a result, several infrastructure repair projects are underway in the region, along with those involving fresh construction. Moreover, several construction chemical companies operate in the region, which leads to an easy availability of advanced materials, including polymer concrete.

Hence, with the focus shifting to high-performance structures, the demand for polymer concrete will increase.

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
