M2 - Mon Mar 10, 3:46AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lbf25h/water_treatment) has announced the addition of the "Water Treatment Chemicals Market By Type & Application - Global Trends & Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering. Water treatment chemicals are primarily used for removing impurities from drinking as well as industrial water and wastewater. With the increasing scarcity of water resources globally, recycling and reuse of water has become very important. Water treatment chemicals are used effectively to remove harmful substances from water. Key chemicals that are used in the water treatment include corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, coagulants & flocculants, biocides & disinfectants, chelating agents, anti-foaming agents, ph adjusters & stabilizers, and others. Coagulants & flocculants are the most commonly used water treatment chemicals. However, scale and corrosion inhibitors together represent the significant market share in terms of value. Biocides and disinfectants also represent more than 10% of the value market, and are expected to grow at a decent pace. However, increasing regulations against the use of chemicals in water treatment is one of the key restraints in the industry. Water treatment chemicals are used in industries such as power generation, food & beverage, chemical processing, pulp & paper, oil & gas, metal & mining, and others. Power generation is the important industrial application area for water treatment chemicals. Municipal water treatment represents around 35% of the total consumption of water treatment chemicals globally. Geographically, Asia-Pacific is the key market for water treatment chemicals. It represents more than 35% of the market in terms of consumption. Rising demand for clean water in China and India is driving the Asia-Pacific as well as the global market for water treatment chemicals.

Global Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2018
M2 - Fri Mar 07, 8:54AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/h9xcxt/global_water_and) has announced the addition of the "Global Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2018" report to their offering. The global water and wastewater treatment chemicals market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 4.5% during 2013-18 as a result of growing usage of water in end user industries and stringent water treatment regulations across the globe. Shale gas and oil exploration, geothermal energy as well as renewable sources of energy consume considerable amount of water for their operations which is further driving the market. Growing desalination trends in water scarce regions, especially the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, has promoted the growth of membrane chemicals like antiscalants, antifoulants and other cleaning chemicals. Nanotechnology based chemicals and biodegradable chemicals have increased the usage of high performance water treatment chemicals, especially in developed markets of North America and Europe. Wastewater from industries such as power, paper and pulp, chemical processing, metal and mining is one of the major contributors to the rising water pollution, globally. As a result, new regulations for maximum limits of pollutants are being passed, globally, depending on the industry and type of pollutant. Consequently, the demand for chemicals utilized in the industrial and municipal wastewater applications is expected to witness long-term increase over the next 10-15 years. In emerging markets, improvements of health and sanitation standards are the major drivers for the growth in water and wastewater treatment chemicals market. Globally, about 2.5 billion people, largely from Asia and Africa, have inadequate water supplies, according to World Bank estimates, which is gradually being addressed with the establishment of water treatment facilities.

Global Specialty Chemicals Market 2014-2018: Trend of Mergers and Acquisitions Expected to Continue in the High Growth Areas of Latin America and the APAC Region
M2 - Fri Mar 07, 6:32AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kqdpg3/global_specialty) has announced the addition of the "Global Specialty Chemicals Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Specialty Chemicals market to grow at a CAGR of 5.16 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the growing demand for specialty chemicals products in the rapidly developing countries of the APAC region. The Global Specialty Chemicals market has also been witnessing the increase in mergers and acquisitions through which key players in the market are increasing their penetration in the emerging economies. However, the increasingly stringent health and environmental regulations could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are 3M Company, AkzoNobel NV, Arkema SA, BASF SE, Bayer AG, Clariant AG, Dow Chemical Co., Evonik Industries Inc., Ecolab Inc., E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Co., Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, Koninklijke DSM NV, PPG Industries Inc., Solvay-Rhodia, and Syngenta AG. Other vendors mentioned in the report are Ashland Inc., Avery Dennison Corp., DIC Corp., Eastman Chemical Co., Givaudan SA, Honeywell International Inc., Huntsman Corp., Lonza Group, Lubrizol Corp., Merck KGaA, Momentive Performance Materials Holdings Inc., Monsanto Co., RPM International Inc., Sherwin-Williams Co., Shin-Etsu Chemical Co. Ltd., Toray Industries Inc., Valspar Corp., and Wacker Chemie AG. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: Many SMEs involved in chemical manufacturing are effective in the production of specialty chemicals for niche markets, though they lack in logistics for manufacturing specialty chemicals in bulk. Since the Specialty Chemicals market is highly fragmented, the key players are trying to gain more market share through the mergers and acquisitions of smaller firms. This trend will help the large vendors to grow and improve their networks at a faster pace. Moreover, the mergers and acquisitions strategy will help the bigger players to penetrate the markets in the emerging economies of Latin America and the APAC region. Global chemical manufacturers that have a large geographic presence, diversified product portfolio, and technical expertise for providing VAS are preferred by large industrial consumers. The mergers and acquisitions strategy serves all three main purposes of improving efficiency, diversifying product portfolio, and expanding the vendors' geographic presence.
