M2 - Tue Apr 15, 3:20AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lrr49m/global_specialty) has announced the addition of the "Global Specialty and High Performance Films Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Specialty and High-performance Films Market will grow at a CAGR of 6.36 percent over the period 2013-2018. The Specialty and High Performance Films market is adversely affected by high competition and low profit margins. Specialty film manufacturers are going through a period of consolidation to satisfy customers through competitive pricing. Through consolidation, the key players are trying to gain a competitive advantage to manufacture specialty and high performance films that will meet stringent client specifications, which is the only way to enhance their profits margins. To benefit from lowered operational costs and to move closer to the target market, specialty film producers in developed countries have increasingly been shifting their plant and research and developments sites to favorable offshore locations. Specialty film manufacturers are under pricing pressures, performance pressures, and decreasing margin pressures. They are expected to produce high quality films with distinct performance advantages at competitive prices. To gain a distinct edge in a competitive market, and increase profit margins, specialty film manufacturers are investing heavily in R&D for creating innovative products. This enables key players in the market to differentiate their products through enhanced performance. Possibilities in this area are immense. Manufacturers can bring in new products by developing multilayer film structures, combining low-cost and high-cost films, and through the increased use of bio-based polymers. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the Global Specialty and High Performance Films market is increasing competition among the players and the constant pressure on them to produce efficient products at competitive prices.

Global Automotive Coatings, Adhesives, and Sealants Market 2014-2018: 3M Co., DuPont , Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, and PPG Industries Dominate the Industry
M2 - Mon Apr 14, 9:21AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6lgx8s/global_automotive) has announced the addition of the "Global Automotive Coatings, Adhesives, and Sealants Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Automotive Coatings, Adhesives, and Sealants market will grow at a CAGR of 5.59 percent over the period 2013-2018. Many drivers are contributing to the growth of the Global Automotive Coatings, Adhesives, and Sealants market, the most important of which is the growing demand for specialized types of coatings such as water-based, powder-based, and radiation-curable. The increase in demand for such products can be attributed to stringent regulations pertaining to the safety of the environment, particularly in North America and Europe. Faced with a continual surge in fuel prices, consumers are progressively demanding automobiles with improved fuel efficiency. While alternative sources of fuel are available, automobile manufacturers across the world are increasingly exploring solutions that can reduce the weight of automobiles, and enhance fuel efficiency. This drive for production of lightweight automobiles has led to the increased demand for adhesives and sealants, which when used in place of welded joints, mechanical fasteners, and gaskets help reduce the weight of the automobile. Also, the increasing use of plastics (which cannot be welded) in automobiles has led to the increased demand for adhesives. Moreover, the use of structural adhesives, which are lightweight and crashworthy, in vehicle assembly, has contributed to the market's growth. The use of sealants as substitutes to mechanical gaskets in automobiles, owing to their resistance to corrosion and chemicals, is also expected to contribute to the market's growth during the forecast period. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is the stringent laws and regulations governing the market, which require vendors to follow elaborate procedures before the commercialization of a new product. The key vendors dominating this space are: - 3M Co. - DuPont - Henkel AG & Co. KGaA - PPG Industries Inc.
