M2 - Mon Apr 28, 10:41AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/h2r2zr/india_rare_gases) has announced the addition of the "India Rare Gases Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2019" report to their offering. The Indian rare gases market revenues are projected to grow at a CAGR of around 4% during 2014-19. The demand for rare gases is primarily driven by lighting segment, wherein neon, xenon and krypton are used due to their light emitting properties on electrical excitation. Although, lighting industry is a major demand driver for these gases, but demand in this segment is expected to decline due to increasing usage of Light Emitting Diode (LEDs).

Moreover, it is expected that due to increasing domestic demand the profitability of the overall industry will increase during the forecast period. One of the major reasons for the increasing profitability of the industry is the proximity to customers. Proximity to the customers reduces the distribution costs and avoids the risk of currency rate fluctuations. All these factors are influencing the increasing profitability of the vendors and thus industry growth. According to the report, one of the main drivers in this industry is the increasing demand for basic chemicals from downstream industries. The major downstream industries such as Iron and Steel, Fertilizer Manufacturing, and Phosphate and Chemicals are witnessing major growth over the last few years. As a result, the demand for basic chemicals has been increasing. Thus, the growth of the Basic Chemicals Manufacturing industry is analogous to the GDP growth in China.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio's Hardware team said: Despite the fluctuating macroeconomic conditions, the profitability of the industry vendors has not been affected significantly. This is mainly attributed to the low product prices and high fixed costs. Currently, the average profit margin of vendors in the industry is about 8 percent, and this is expected to increase during the forecast period. Moreover, it is expected that due to increasing domestic demand the profitability of the overall industry will increase during the forecast period. One of the major reasons for the increasing profitability of the industry is the proximity to customers. Proximity to the customers reduces the distribution costs and avoids the risk of currency rate fluctuations. All these factors are influencing the increasing profitability of the vendors and thus industry growth. According to the report, one of the main drivers in this industry is the increasing demand for basic chemicals from downstream industries. The major downstream industries such as Iron and Steel, Fertilizer Manufacturing, and Phosphate and Chemicals are witnessing major growth over the last few years. As a result, the demand for basic chemicals has been increasing. Thus, the growth of the Basic Chemicals Manufacturing industry is analogous to the GDP growth in China. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this industry is the declining value of exports. The declining value of exports is due to the reduced demand for basic chemicals manufactured in China in the overseas markets.
