How Is Growing Construction Sector Fueling Fire Extinguisher Demand?

Governments across the world and international regulatory bodies are drafting stringent fire safety norms for residential, commercial, and manufacturing units to ensure the safety of people and avoid asset loss. For instance, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) publishes over 300 consensus codes and standards, such as standards for portable fire extinguishers and standards on hybrid (water and inert gas) fire extinguishing systems, to minimize the possibility and effects of fire and other risks. To comply with such regulations, fire extinguishers are being deployed in large numbers.

Moreover, the increasing construction activities in developing countries will help the fire extinguishers market advance at a CAGR of 6.2% during 2018–2023. According to P&S Intelligence, the market was valued at $4,487.0 million in 2017, and it is projected to generate $6,452.3 million revenue by 2023. The construction industry in India, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and China and developed countries, including Japan and the U.S., is witnessing the influx of hefty investments, owing to which a substantial surge in the number of industrial plants, commercial centers, and smart cities is being observed.

The key manufacturers of such products are Amerex Corporation, Feuerschutz Jockel GmbH & Co. KG, First Alert Inc., Desautel, Minimax GmbH & Co. KG, and United Technologies Corporation. At present, these companies are focusing on developing new products, such as sound-based fire extinguishers, to offer improved solutions to their clientele. The acoustic waves produced by these fire extinguishers increase the air velocity, which eventually leads to the reduction in the boundary layer of the burning substance.

Globally, North America dominated the fire extinguishers market in the preceding years due to the large-scale construction of commercial, education, and residential infrastructure in the U.S. Additionally, the increasing modernization of existing commercial projects and surging fire safety concerns are fueling the adoption of these devices in the region. Whereas, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is expected to install them at the highest rate in the foreseeable future owing to the development of green buildings, including residential and commercial buildings, and smart cities.

Thus, the toughening fire safety regulations and expanding construction sector will boost the adoption of fire extinguishers across the world.

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
