Increasing demand for polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) coupled with growing consumer awareness for bio-based products is expected to drive the global 1,3-propanediol market from 2013 to 2019. 1,3-propanediol (PDO) is a high value specialty chemical that is used in the synthesis of polymers. such as polyurethanes, polyesters and polyethers. Large volume of 1,3-propanediol produced is used as a building block to manufacture polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT). 1,3-propanediol imparts unique features such as superior stretching and elastic recovery of nylon to PTT, which is difficult to obtain from other glycol based polyesters. Earlier, 1,3-propanediol was produced from acrolein a petroleum feedstock however, in order to respond to the sustainability and environmental factors, manufacturers have developed fermentation process to produce bio-based PDO either from corn sugar or biodiesel. 1,3-propanediol is also used in manufacturing polyurethane, cosmetic, personal care products, home cleaning products, among others. Government initiatives and regulations in different countries are expected to further boost the market growth.

Optical coatings are thin layers of film on optical devices to enhance their transmission, reflection and other optical properties.

China currently is the largest manufacturer of the mercury-based thermometer devices, manufacturing over 150 million thermometers per year, for both exports and domestic consumption. Most of the mercury thermometer demand in the country is cater through the domestic production. However, growing awareness about mercury pollution and global initiative for lowering the consumption of mercury has spur the demand for digital and other type mercury-free thermometer devices in the country, which is currently being catered through domestic production and imports.

The WHO's factsheet says that worldwide incidence of obesity has more than doubled since 1980. Over 1.9 million adults (18 years and older) were overweight in 2014 and among these, almost 600 million people were obese. The globally rising incidence of obesity is not a good news for nations, particularly those that largely depend on human capital for labor-intensive industries. Human capital is indispensable for any nation, be it developed, developing, or underdeveloped. Hence, governments of several nations are deliberating conscious efforts to curb the incidence of obesity.

The global alternative sweetener market is expected to witness steady growth during the forecast period. Increasing demand for healthier low-calorie food products is one of the major factors boosting the demand for alternative sweeteners globally. Manufacturers aim to launch other sugar substitutes due to rising health consciousness among consumers. In addition, rising prices of sugar helps to boost the growth of the alternative sweetener market gradually.

Acidity regulators, also known as ph control agents and it isan integral part of the food additive market globally. The pH of a food measures its alkalinity or acidity. Acidity regulators are used to change the alkalinity or acidity in a food which is imperative for its safety, taste and processing. Acidity regulators provide a distinct flavor to food and beverage items. In addition, acidity regulators control the bitterness of the foods and they increase the shelf life of the foods. Moreover, acidity regulators prevent any microscopic organism (disease causing bacterium) from damaging the food and increase the food preservation. Acidity regulators are one of the growing markets in the food additives segment.
