Why Do Photovoltaic Cell Manufacturers Use Acetyls?

Organic compounds containing a methyl group joined with a carbonyl group by a single bond are known as acetyls. The acetyl group is primarily found in acetic acid, acetylsalicylic acid, acetylcysteine, acetylcholine, and acetaminophen. Acetylation refers to the chemical process of formulating the acetyl group into a molecule. The acetyl groups of acetic anhydride, vinyl acetate monomers, and acetic acid are used in the intermediates themselves used in the production of inks, adhesives, solvents, and water-based paints.

Large volumes of acetyls are being used in the production of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and ester solvents, which require acetic acid in abundance. Thus, the surging use of acetic acid in the production of PTA and ester solvents will help the acetyls market progress at a CAGR of 6.9% during 2016–2022. According to P&S Intelligence, the market had a value of $22,004.7 million in 2015. Additionally, the burgeoning demand for adhesives from numerous industries will propel the consumption of vinyl acetate monomers globally.

Geographically, Asia-Pacific (APAC) consumed the highest volume of acetyls in the recent past, and it is also expected to adopt these compounds at the highest rate in the forthcoming years. This can be attributed to the flourishing electronics sector, expanding automotive manufacturing base, and increasing investments in the oil and gas sector in the region. Moreover, the surging healthcare expenditure, owing to the mounting per capita income and improving living standards of people, will augment the consumption of acetyls in the region.

Furthermore, the Rest of the World (RoW) acetyls market is expected to register a significant sale of these chemicals in the upcoming years. This will be due to the mounting investments being made in the automotive, pharmaceutical, and oil and gas industries in the region. Besides, the accelerating industrialization and urbanization rates will propel the consumption of the compounds in RoW. Acetyl requirements of end-use industries of APAC and RoW are met by Eastman Chemical Company, DuPont, The Dow Chemical Company, Jubilant Life Sciences, Wacker Chemie AG, BP PLC, Helm AG, and Celanese Corporation.

Thus, the burgeoning demand for acetic acid and increasing installation of PV cells will fuel the consumption of acetyls globally.

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
