Mushrooming Biofuel Production Fueling Seed Treatment Demand

The soaring demand for food products, on account of the mushrooming population across the globe, is fueling the requirement for seed treatment products, as they assist in improving the productivity of crops. As per the United Nations (UN), the global population will surge from 7.7 billion in 2020 to around 8.9 billion by 2030. Seed treatment products are also used for protecting young plants and seedlings from various diseases and ensuring high crop yield.

Besides the aforementioned factor, the burgeoning requirement for biofuels, owing to the increasing environmental concerns over the deteriorating air quality level and escalating pollution levels, is also fueling the expansion of the seed treatment market. Different types of plants are used for producing biofuels. For example, bioethanol is made from the fermentation of the sugar produced from starchy crops, such as sugarcane. Thus, in order to make high quality biofuels, the seeds of the plants from which the sugar or oil is to be derived must be of high quality.

Across the world, the demand for seed treatment products was observed to be the highest in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in the years gone by and this trend is predicted to continue in the coming years as well. This is credited to the surging farming activities, including high-volume crop production, especially in Vietnam, India, China, Australia, and South Korea, and skyrocketing demand for high-quality agricultural produce to cater to the region’s large population.

Globally, the major players operating in the seed treatment market, such as Bayer AG, BASF SE, Germains Seed Technology, Croda International Plc, FMC Corporation, Novozymes A/S, Verdesian Life Sciences LLC, and Eastman Chemical Company, are focusing on product launches in order to gain an edge over their rivals. For example, Corteva Inc. developed Lumivia CPL, which is a non-neonicotinoid-based seed treatment product for peas, lentils, and cereals, in March 2020. This product uses an advanced method for managing pests.

Hence, the demand for seed treatment products will skyrocket in the coming years, primarily because of the surging need for higher agricultural productivity and biofuels 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
