Aniline is an aromatic amine. It is used as a precursor to several chemicals, which are employed in a wide range of industrial applications. A major portion of the aniline produced globally is utilized in the manufacture of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). MDI is used as an intermediate to manufacture rigid and flexible polyurethane (PU) foams, elastomers, coatings, adhesives and sealants. Aniline is also an important ingredient in several rubber processing chemicals such as 4-aminodiphenylamine. MDI produced using aniline as a precursor is used in applications such as insulation, furnishings, consumer goods, packaging, and automotive interiors & upholstery. The global market for aniline is driven largely by the industrial end-uses. Asia Pacific and Rest of the World are expected to dominate the aniline market during the forecast period; these regions are anticipated to witness significant industrial growth in the next few years. A large number of aniline manufacturing firms operate in China. Key players in this market are fully integrated in terms of aniline manufacturing.

The global breast imaging market is developing at a rapid pace on account of high incidence of breast cancer across the globe. Women over 40 years of age are more susceptible to breast cancer, therefore, the rise in the geriatric population base is expected to fuel the growth of the breast imaging market significantly in the coming years.

Petrochemicals are an essential part of commodities used in daily lives. They are used in various end-use industries, ranging from manufacturing to consumer goods. Petrochemicals are chemical compounds derived from petroleum and other hydrocarbons, which are obtained from crude oil and natural gas. They are primarily used as chemical building blocks for a variety of materials and applications. Rising demand for petrochemicals in major end-use industries coupled with favorable operating conditions, primarily in the Middle East and Asia Pacific, is expected to drive the global market for petrochemicals from 2013 to 2030. Demand for bio-based chemicals is increasing due to growing consumer awareness and benefits associated with their usage. Investment in bio-based chemicals in the public sector (including national laboratories and universities) and commercial sector (including large multinational corporations) is anticipated to increase in the near future. Therefore, this trend is estimated to hamper the petrochemicals market. Additionally, volatility in prices of crude oil & natural gas is likely to inhibit market growth. However, rising shale gas discoveries, primarily in North America (including the U.S. and Canada) is benefitting petrochemical producers, since shale gas is considered a substitute feedstock that is used in the manufacture of petrochemicals.

The report on the global infusion pumps market delves into key drivers, restraints, opportunities and trends that stakeholders can monetize. An infusion pump, as the name indicates, is used for administering therapeutic formulations, fluids and drugs directly into a patient's body in precise doses. These could include: Saline solutions, dextrose, and plasma.

Wires and cables form an integral part of the modern day industries. South Africa, a developing nation holds a significant potential for the wire and cable industry. Wire and cable form the backbone of the present information age, providing users with power, light and communication. Wires and cables are used in industries such as power transmission & distribution, buildings, automotive, home appliances and communications among others. Moreover, developments in the infrastructure and increasing capacity of the transmission grid are further expected to stimulate the demand for communications and power cable.

Bulk container packaging includes products used for bulk or high volume packaging. These are transported in containers via road, sea or railways. This report studies the bulk container packaging market for three products: flexitanks, flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBC) and bulk container liners. Other bulk container packaging products available in the market such as drums, barrels and boxes have not been considered in the report. Flexitanks is a flexible bladder or a container manufactured using polyethylene and polypropylene to transport non-hazardous liquids in a standard 20ft container. FIBCs are also termed big bags or jumbo bags. These are made up of woven fabric for storage and transport of dry and free flowing products. These bags are available in large variations in the market with different product types that suit various materials that are to be transported. They are most widely used in sizes of 1 ton or 2 tons. Bulk container liners are made up of woven polyethylene or polypropylene and are available in different sizes depending upon customer requirement. However, the most widely used liners are 20ft and 40ft containers globally.

Raw materials used in the production of specialty papers are termed as specialty pulp & paper chemicals. Specialty pulp & paper chemicals are broadly classified into bleaching chemicals, functional chemicals, process chemicals, and basic chemicals. These chemicals are mixed into paper pulp to produce specialty papers. Functional chemicals such as dyes and coatings are used to give final texture and color to papers, which can then be used for various purposes such as printing and packaging. Various chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide, chlorine-based bleaching agents, deinking agents, optical brightening agents (OBA), and fluorescent brightening agents are currently used to ward off discoloration and brighten specialty papers. Presently, the specialty papers market is a niche market, which accounts for approximately 5% to 7% of the overall paper production in the paper industry. However, specialty paper chemicals accounted for about half the overall paper chemicals market in terms of volume at the end of 2013. Though the chemicals used for making specialty papers have applications in the manufacture of a variety of materials such as textiles and automotive, a significant share is consumed in specialty paper manufacturing.
