Xanthan, popularly known as xanthan gum, a polysaccharide synthesized and secreted by a bacterium, Xanthomonas campestris, is commonly used as a rheology modifier and food additive. It performs the function of a thickening agent in food such as, salad dressings, and a stabilizing agent in cosmetics and personal care products It s also used in oil and drilling operations for lubricating, fracking and viscosity modifying applications. Xanthan gum consists of repeating units of five carbon ring structures (Pentasaccharides), containing glucuronic acid, mannose, and glucose (in molar ratio 2:2:1). Xanthan gum is manufactured by fermentation of sugars such as lactose, sucrose or glucose. After fermentation, the polysaccharide formed is extracted through precipitation from a nutrition/growth medium by adding isopropyl alcohol, drying and then grounding the extract into fine powder. Xanthan gum is formed by adding the powdered polysaccharide into a liquid medium.

Acetophenone is an organic compound and one of the simplest forms of ketone. Acetophenone is a viscous colorless liquid and is an important precursor in the production of fragrances and resins. The applications of acetophenone include resin precursors, pharmaceuticals, fragrances, chewing gums and it is also used as a laboratory reagent. The demand for acetophenone across the globe is expected to show strong growth in the next few years.

Zeolites are micro-porous, aluminosilicate minerals which are primarily utilized commercially as adsorbents and catalysts by the chemical industry. Zeolites can be found naturally as well as manufactured industrially on a large scale. Zeolites are group of hydrated aluminosilicates of alkali or alkaline earth metals, usually lithium, barium, sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. These chemicals have three dimensional crystalline frameworks of tetrahedral structures of alumina or siliceous anions that are strongly bonded at corners. The zeolite structure essentially contains (–Si–O–Al–) linkages. These linkages form uniform size pores on the surface that enclose internal cavities or channels of homogeneous size and shape. The structure, size and shapes of these pores depend on chemical composition and structural framework of the crystal of the zeolite involved. The pore sizes may range from 2 to 12 Angstroms.

Growing focus of the seed industry on crop protection is leading to development of different seed treatment methods. Seed treatment refers to application of chemical or biological active ingredients to the seeds, which is done before seed packaging. Seed treatment is an emerging method of crop protection, which protects the crops from different insect attacks and diseases. The growing seed market is the key driver for seed treatment. In addition, higher prices of seeds and technological development in seed treatment methods are also leading to significant growth in demand for seed treatment.

Around the world, demand for food is rising as a result of the ever-expanding population. This in turn is fueling several market sectors in the agriculture industry. One such sector is that of crop protection chemicals, which consists of a variety of crop chemicals to increase agricultural yield. Demand for increasing per hectare yield and growing demand for food free from harmful organisms is driving the global crop protection chemicals market.

Epoxy resins are thermosetting polymers that contain epoxides of the basic functional group. Basic raw materials required for the production of epoxy resins include bisphenol A (BPA), epichlorohydrin, phenols, aromatic amines and aliphatic alcohols. This report comprises an executive summary, which includes a market snapshot that provides overall information of the various application segments. It also analyzes the global epoxy resins market with respect to regions and application segments. Rising demand from paints & coatings and electrical & electronics applications is the major driving factor for growth of the epoxy resins market. High demand for raw materials from other applications such as polycarbonate is expected to hamper market growth. Furthermore, volatility in prices of raw materials negatively affects market growth.

Biofertilizers are substances containing living microorganisms which promote plant growth by increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant. Various biofertilizers such as rhizobium, azotobacter, and azospirillium are used for soil and seed treatments.
