The global market for extrusion coating is gaining traction from a number factors, such as increasing use of extrusion coating in numerous packaging applications, prosperity of the food and beverages industry, growing demand from emerging economies in Asia Pacific and the Middle East and Africa, continuous merger and acquisition, and development of new products by diverse companies. On the other hand, although the demand is expected to continue flowing in throughout the forecast period of 2017 to 2025, substitutes such as bio-based polymers and increasing carbon footprint are posing considerable challenge to the development of the market for extrusion coating. The use of some of the common polymers such as EVA, LDPE, PET, and PP can generates harmful by-products.

The usage of paraffin wax has been quite common over the years after its discovery and the ability to be synthesized at large scales. Waxes have been used in the manufacture of candles, as coatings on structural surfaces, as additives in packaging materials, and even in the food and beverages industry. Paraffin wax can be derived from coal, shale, or petroleum and is an assortment of hydrocarbons. Wax is generally solid at room temperature and on average, starts to melt above 99 degrees Fahrenheit. The discovery of wax was advantageous to the manufacturers of candles, who previously used tallow which was less reliable as well as expensive.

High pressure seal is defined as a mechanical device, which is utilized to join high pressure systems in order to stop leakage and observe the pressure to ensure the safety and smooth flow. These seals are generally prepared of metals or industrial grade rubbers. The main application of these seals is to provide a mechanism to manage high pressures; however, they are sturdy and can be utilized at high as well as low temperatures.

With the rising preference for minimally invasive surgeries among consumers, laparoscopic surgeries are gaining significant popularity across the world. In this surgical technique, surgeries are performed through small incisions, for which a video camera and laparoscopic instruments or devices are used. An image of the organs to be operated is provided onto a screen through the camera that enables the surgeon to perform the surgery in a 3D plane while visualizing the whole procedure on a 2D screen. Since laparoscopic surgeries need a much smaller incision, they tend to have a number of benefits, such as lesser pain, less blood loss, and a relatively faster postoperative recovery.

The global polyurethane composites market is prophesied to gain a telling impetus owing to a wide scope of applications available for industry players to cash in on. Polyurethane composites are studied to be a multipurpose thermoset polymer matrix that could up its market growth on account of the desperate pursuit of chemists and scientists to develop quality, automated, and fast composite production.

The global busbar market is likely to be driven by the shift toward busbars instead of cables as the former are cheaper. Thus, they are known to offer an affordable solution to rising energy consumption and wastage. The market is also receiving a boost from the wind and power sector, which is making an inroad into overall power generation mix.

The global market for epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) is forecast to exhibit strong growth between 2017 and 2025. It will significantly gain from the increasing demand from the plastic additives industries, especially in North America. Besides this, research and development activities by the leading players, coupled with the recent merger and acquisition strategies they adopted will help this market rake high revenue over the forecast period.

Applications of gas chromatograph techniques have witnessed a tremendous rise in areas such as production monitoring, research, petrochemical, quality check in the chemicals industry, effluent management in the industrial sector, and forensic science. While the conventional stationary, laboratory desk-top, process at-line and on-line chromatographs of a variety of sizes and configurations are still ubiquitous across key application sectors, the increased need for effective on-field analytical tools has led to the vast rise in adoption of portable gas chromatographs in the recent times.

The global market for liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is gaining remarkable momentum with the rising awareness regarding its properties, including excellent chemical inertness, flexibility, heat resistance, and low viscosity. In addition to this, the market is experiencing extensive research and development processes in the field, which is providing a significant push to the market.

Polyfilms have become an integral part of our daily lives. They are eco-friendly and can be safely used for food packaging. Due to their flexible nature, these films find application in many end-use industries.
