Global Hygiene Adhesives Market 2014-2018 with Bostik SA, H.B. Fuller Co., and Henkel AG & Co. KGaA. Dominating
M2 - Tue Mar 25, 11:28AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qh3qb5/global_hygiene) has announced the addition of the "Global Hygiene Adhesives Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. One of the main drivers in the Global Hygiene Adhesives market is the increasing focus vendors place on R&D. Vendors in this market are increasing their focus toward developing products that meet the standards set by the regulatory bodies monitoring the environment. In addition, changing customers' requirements, changing competitive scenarios, changing market dynamics, and better performance and productivity of technologically developed products, are the other key factors that are leading to vendors increasing their spending in R&D. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: Emerging markets, such as China and India, are witnessing an increase in demand for hygiene products such as baby diapers and feminine napkins. This is due to the increasing preference shown by consumers in these regions as a result of the increase in their disposable income. However, it has been estimated that the penetration of baby diapers is approximately 20 percent in China and is less than 10 percent in India. This, therefore, creates a huge potential for vendors providing baby diapers to tap the unserved market and increase their market share. Vendors in the Global Hygiene Product market are also focusing on developing new hygiene products to meet the growing demand and to increase the use of hygiene products in these regions. Therefore, as the demand for hygiene products grows in these regions, the demand for hygiene adhesives is also expected to grow. Furthermore, vendors in the Global Hygiene Product market, who are the key end-users in the Global Hygiene Adhesives market, will also require new and innovative hygiene adhesive solutions from vendors in the Global Hygiene Adhesives market. This will result in them developing new and innovative hygiene products, thereby driving the growth in the market during the forecast period Further, the report states that despite the presence of several drivers, the growth of the Global Hygiene Adhesives market is curtailed by several challenges. One such challenge hindering the growth of the market is the increasing cost of raw materials. The increase in the requirement of raw materials by vendors to meet the rising demand for hygiene adhesives has increased the raw material supplier's power to price them as they deem fit. In addition, the increasing demand for raw materials in other application areas such as construction, packaging, and furniture making is also contributing to the volatility in raw material prices. Key vendors dominating this space are: - Bostik SA - H.B. Fuller Co. - Henkel AG & Co. KGaA. Key Topics Covered: 01. Executive Summary 02. List of Abbreviations 03. Scope of the Report 04.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/64fwrr/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Plasticizer Market 2014-2018 with BASF SE, Eastman Chemical Co., ExxonMobil Corp., and Ferro Corp Dominating" report to their offering. One of the main drivers in this market is the rising demand for plasticizers from the Medical industry. Plasticizers are increasingly being used in the production of medical devices and in their packaging. The rapid growth of the Medical industry has also adding to the increased requirement for plasticizers. The increasing global concern about the environment and the need for environmental sustainability is forcing vendors to design eco-friendly plasticizers. Plasticizers such as DOP and other types of phthalates contain harmful substances and toxins which often harm the environment and pose risks to aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The public in many countries, and social bodies concerned with the environment, have started pressurizing vendors and manufactures of various products to use bio-plasticizers in the manufacture of various goods. Hence, vendors are increasing their research capabilities and are developing biodegradable and less harmful plasticizers such as TEC, TBC, and TOC to protect the environment and population, and to reduce their carbon footprint. Consumers are also demanding more eco-friendly plasticizers, which is positively influencing the growth in this market, though it adds to the manufacturing pressure on some plasticizer vendors. Further, the report states that one of the main challenges hindering the growth of this market is the health risks associated with the use of plasticizers, especially phthalates. Some plasticizers harm humans and lead to low birth weights, problems in the reproductive system, problems in breathing, and numerous other diseases, especially among children.

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.

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.

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.
