Why Is Construction Industry in APAC Using Specialty Chemicals in Abundance?

Specialty chemicals or performance chemicals are used in the production of numerous goods in several end-use industries. Such chemicals are directed toward specific services and consumer needs, rather than general use. These chemical products add significant value to a wide range of products, such as detergents, electronics, paints, and petroleum products. For example, automakers use such chemicals as fuel additives to enhance fuel properties. Likewise, the pharmaceutical industry uses specialty chemicals as active ingredients in numerous creams and lotions. 

The escalating industrialization rate in Asia-Pacific (APAC) countries, owing to the booming middle-class population and mounting disposable income of people, will fuel the APAC specialty chemicals market at a CAGR of 5.7% during 2018–2023. According to P&S Intelligence, the market was valued at $259.6 billion in 2017 and it is expected to reach $361.0 billion revenue by 2023. The surging number of manufacturing units in the  food and beverage, cosmetics, and agriculture industries will create a huge requirement for specialty chemicals in the in the region in the foreseeable future.

In recent years, China has emerged as the leader of the APAC specialty chemicals market, due to the burgeoning domestic demand for commercial and residential buildings, on account of the surging in the country. Moreover, the presence of a large manufacturing base in China, owing to the availability of cheap labor and abundant raw materials, will also fuel the consumption of specialty chemicals in the country in the coming years. Additionally, the expansion of the automotive industry is also fueling the demand for performance chemicals in this APAC region.

Whereas, India is expected to adopt specialty chemicals at the highest rate in APAC in the coming years, as per P&S Intelligence. This can be primarily credited to the accelerating urbanization rate, mounting disposable income of people, and burgeoning demand for improved aesthetics in residential infrastructure in the country. Moreover, the automotive, personal care, electronics, and food and beverage industries in India are also expected to adopt a significant volume of specialty chemicals in the forthcoming years. 

Thus, the rising industrialization rate and the flourishing construction industry will fuel the adoption of specialty chemicals in APAC in the foreseeable future.

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
