Furfural derivatives are produced through feedstock (agricultural waste, corn cobs, wood oil, and others), refining or processing operations in chemical industries, and logistics of primary derivatives (furfuryl alcohol, 2-furoic acid) and secondary derivatives (tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, poly tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyl tetrahydrofuran) globally. The furfural derivatives market is not fully commercialized. Increased demand for products from renewable and biodegradable sources, as well as growing consumption from the food industry have led to increased demand for furfural derivatives. Asia Pacific and Europe are expected to dominate the global furfural derivatives market. Asia Pacific is the chief producer and consumer of furfuryl alcohol, because China and India contribute the highest consumption. Europe follows Asia Pacific in consumption due to increases in the number of application areas for furfural alcohol and the products of furfural derivatives. The use of furfural derivatives integration in biorefineries is expected to increase across Europe due to their various environmental benefits. Governments in Europe also support bio-based products, since they hold a high potential to provide the foundation for the future environment-friendly economy.

Transparency Market Research forecasts the global compression therapy market to reach US$4.25 bn by 2024 from a valuation of US$2,693.4 mn in 2015. If these figures hold true, the market will exhibit a CAGR of 5.3% between 2016 and 2024.

A TMR analyst reports, "Strong research and development initiatives and strategic mergers and acquisitions to add value to the existing line of products will work in favor of the companies in the near future." While the larger global entities compete on a wider scale, regional markets are also teeming with local manufacturers, eroding the profitability of multinational firms, finds Transparency Market Research in a new study.

The global nebulizers market was valued at USD 610.0 million in 2012 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2013 to 2019, to reach an estimated value of USD 937.7 million by 2019.

The rise of the smartphone culture has unarguably been the most defining development impacting the global medical animation market. There will be well over 2 billion smartphone users in the world by the end of 2016, various estimates have shown. A sizeable percentage of these users will, at some point in time, consume content centered on surgical procedures, pharmaceutical drug action mechanism, or medical devices.

Due to the presence of a large number of players, the global market for automotive lubricants is highly fragmented and competitive in nature, finds a new study by Transparency Market Research (TMR). In 2015, the top three market participants, namely, Royal Dutch Shell Plc, ExxonMobil Corp., and BP Plc, could hold a share of 31.6% only in the overall market.

A combined cycle power plant uses a gas as well as an auxiliary steam turbine to improve its overall efficiency, with the former being the primary power generator and the latter recovering the exhaust gas heat. Individually, gas turbine and steam turbine power plants have an average efficiency between 25 % and 40 %, depending on their fuel source and capacity. However, when installed in combination, it increases to 60%. In terms of capacity, fuel, and number of turbines, the combined cycle power plant can have several configurations such as: 1×1 (one gas turbine, one steam turbine), 2×1 (two gas turbines, one steam turbine), 3×1 (three gas turbines, one steam turbine), and sometimes even 4×1 (four gas turbines, one steam turbine).

The global wind turbine operations and maintenance (O&M) market features a highly fragmented vendor landscape, with few players singly holding significant share in the overall market, observes a report published by Transparency Market Research. Small and medium scale enterprises having operations close to wind turbine farms enjoy lucrative business owing to exclusive contacts with wind turbine operators. Close proximity of small and medium scale companies to wind power farms allow quick delivery of services and timely restoration of operations due to early recovery from technical glitches.

The global carbon nanotubes market has been witnessing a surge in its market valuation in recent years thanks to the increased demand for carbon nanotubes from the electrical and electronics, energy, polymers, and other end-use industries.According to a report from Transparency Market Research (TMR), the worldwide carbon nanotubes market stood at US$1.1 bn in 2014. Expanding at an impressive CAGR of 22.10% during the period from 2015 to 2023, it is expected to arrive at US$6.8 bn by the end of 2023.
