Sawn timber is a type of timber which is cut from logs into variety of shapes and sizes for different applications. Generally, it may be rectangular or wedge shape; solid timber beams and rectangular timber sections are the common products of sawn timber. There are different types of sawn timber depending on its cutting pattern including quarter, back, and radial timber. Sawn timber are available either as unseasoned or seasoned timber which is classified according to its moisture content. Unseasoned sawn timber is also known as 'Green sawn timber' with moisture content higher than 25% while seasoned variant is dried to remove the bound moisture and has reduced weight.

A new Fact.MR research report has slated the global market for pressure sensitive adhesives to record a steady 4.9% CAGR, in terms of volume, over the forecast period (2017-2026). Pressure sensitive adhesives sales across the globe are estimated to exceed US$ 71,000 Mn in revenues by 2026-end.

Advancements in automatic control technology has instrumented the increasing applications of mechanical control components such as control valves. Several industrial processes are being automated, and control valves are being used to control the flow of fluids. New control valves are being equipped with smart technologies and high-tech sensors that can gauge the pressure, liquid level and temperature effectively. Manufacturers are also working towards increasing the accuracy of control valves in measuring as well as controlling the flow rate directly.

Increasing demand for alternative energy sources has prompted the use of landfills containing biodegradable materials in production of combustible gases. A mixture of these gases, which is collectively identified as landfill gas, is used as a key source of supplying hydrocarbons in production of heat and other forms of energy. Governments from several parts of the world are adopting measures towards natural anaerobic decomposition of the collected organic waste in landfills. As a result of activities instrumented by microorganisms, a mixture of different gases being drawn from these landfills is finding an ideal replacement to fossil fuel components of natural gas. High in methane, the utilization of landfill gas continues to gain traction in domestic applications such as supplying power to homes in the form of natural gas. Easy procurement of landfill gas and low capital expenditure in production continues to relieve the stress on solar energy as the most exploited renewable energy resource.

Quarter sawn flooring is preferred for its attractive straight grain pattern that enhances the aesthetics of the quarter sawn flooring as compared to other wooden floorings such as rift sawn or flat sawn. In addition, the wood used in the quarter sawn floorings is easy to work with as it presents higher dimensional stability and resistance to moisture penetration. Quarter sawn flooring wood surface is less prone to warping, cupping or twisting and prevents incidences of surface checking and raised grain. Further, the quarter sawn woods used in quarter sawn floorings have long lengths which allow easier flooring work in larger spaces.

As construction businesses across several parts of the world are witnessing surplus profits and aggressive expansion, the need for adopting protective materials to safeguard the health of buildings from external factors has increased. Rain, winds, snow or lightings – several environmental factors can degrade the quality of the constructed building by damaging its exteriors, and penetrating through it to affect the interiors. Plastic materials or polymers made of vinyl compounds are being used to develop weatherproofing solutions for exteriors of buildings. This has propelled the demand for vinyl sidings across residential and commercial real estate sectors. Homeowners are installing vinyl sidings for allowing their house to stay protected throughout the years.

A new report by Fact.MR has slated that the global generator market will ride on an average 4.5% CAGR, in terms of volume, during the forecast period (2017-2026). In terms of value, sales of generator across the globe are poised to reach approximately US$ 39,000 Mn in revenues by 2026-end.

According to Fact.MR's recently compiled report, the global air conditioning system market will record a CAGR of over 6% during the forecast period 2017 to 2026, in terms of value. Global sales of air conditioning systems are estimated to exceed 240,000 Mn units by 2026-end.

According to recently published report by Fact.MR, the global digital door lock system market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 30.8% in terms of value during the period 2017-2026. In terms of volume, the market is anticipated to record sales of nearly 80,000 thousand units by 2026-end.

Adoption of electronic devices not only enhances convenience but also improves lifestyle of consumers, which has further resulted into the concept of smart homes. In addition, smart buildings are witnessing a tremendous surge in prevalence, with the rise in development of smart cities. Rising integration of essential building equipment and systems with artificial intelligence (AI) has further proliferated demand for smart buildings in developed and developing countries. Various governments across the globe are focusing on funding smart cities projects, which in turn is expected to influence demand for equipment such as elevators. Elevator manufacturers across the globe are increasingly being encouraged to incorporate internet of things (IoT) in elevator systems, which will improve the service by lowering downtimes and enhancing the efficiency. It will further enable real-time remote monitoring and actionable analytics. Integration of IoT into elevators is considered to be one of the latest trends in the elevators industry, and such elevator systems are likely to gain immense traction globally in the near future.
