Groundwater Depletion Supporting Expansion of Domestic Pump Market

Image
The global domestic pump market revenue stood at $2,912.9 million in 2020, and it is predicted to rise to $3,832.0 million by 2030. According to the estimates of the market research company, P&S Intelligence, the market will grow at a CAGR of 2.8% from 2021 to 2030. The surging construction activities in the residential sector, increasing number of high-rise buildings, where pumps are required for maintaining the water pressure till the upper storeys, depletion of groundwater, and rapid urbanization are the major factors fueling the growth of the market.  As per the Our World in Data, the global population will surge to 8.2 billion and 8.6 billion by 2025 and 2030, respectively. The surge in the worldwide population would create burden on the existing water infrastructure, which supplies drinking and utility water. In addition, a large number of people are rapidly shifting from rural areas to cities and towns every year. As per the World Bank, the share of the urban population in

Why Are Governments Focusing on Developing New Bioethanol Production Methods?

Image
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the transportation sector is a major source of fossil-fuel carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and the largest contributor to climate change. Further, the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) states that the combustion of fossil fuels accounted for 74% of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. in 2019. Likewise, the Report prepared by Climate Analytics for the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) states that Australia was responsible for around 1.4% of global fossil fuel combustion emissions in 2017. The increasing pollution levels have, therefore, encouraged governments to mandate the usage of bioethanol as a transport fuel, owing to which the bioethanol market will grow during 2021–2030. According to P&S Intelligence, the market generated $38.0 billion revenue in 2020. Currently, bioethanol producers and government organizations are conducting research activities improve bioethanol production from plant residues, which ar

Booming Speciality Chemical Production To Fuel Alpha Olefin Sales

Image
Alpha olefins are olefins or alkenes are with the chemical formula cxh2x. One of the major feedstocks used for producing alpha olefins is ethylene, which is produced by using naphtha and gas-based oil. In recent years, the demand for the compound has increased massively, primarily because of the soaring use of specialty chemicals in various industries. The compound is extensively used as a raw material in the production of several specialty chemicals, such as oilfield chemicals, plasticizers, lubricants, plastomers, and surfactants. For instance, ethylene alpha-olefin copolymers are also called plastomers and they are made from the polymerization process. Plastomers exhibit the hybrid characteristics of plastics and elastomers and because of these traits, these materials are extensively used in packaging and polymer modification applications.  In addition, they provide good foaming, low-cost benefits in surfactant production, and excellent compatibility with hard water. Because of th

South Africa Charcoal Briquettes Market To Generate Revenue Worth $286.7 Million by 2030

Image
A number of factors such as the low cost of charcoal briquettes, rich tradition of barbecue food, and rise in tourist arrivals in the nation to experience its scenic landscapes, rich culture, and soul-satisfying food are projected to propel the growth of the South African charcoal briquettes market at a CAGR of 8.8% in the forecast period (2020–2030). According to P&S Intelligence, the market generated $136.0 million revenue in 2019, and it is expected to reach $286.7 million by 2030. Moreover, the market is witnessing a trend of surging usage of instant-light charcoal briquettes.  One of the prime factors propelling the market growth is the low cost of charcoal briquettes. In South Africa, charcoal briquettes are commonly used for cooking purposes, as people prefer these over other cooking fuels, including kerosene and liquified petroleum gas (LPG), owing to their low cost. The cost is less because charcoal briquettes are made of wood and powder, which is left after the manufactu
