sol-gel Processing Market reached $1.4 to $2.2 billionin Between 2011 to 2018

The sol-gel method is a cost-effective and convenient way to prepare mono and multicomponent glasses and ceramics, some of which would not be possible to be used by conventional processes. This is because of the use of homogeneous liquid solutions and the ability to form gels at room temperature. Sol-gel processing refers to the low temperature method using chemical precursors which in turn leads to ceramics and glass with higher purity and better homogeneity than high temperature conventional processes.

The applications of sol-derived products are numerous, and one of the major applications is in coatings and thin films used in electronic, optical and electro-optic components and devices such as substrates, capacitors, memory devices, and infrared detectors. Anti-reflection coatings are used for automotive and architectural applications. Sol-gel can also be used to infiltrate fiber performs to make composites. 

Glass coatings and inorganic/organic hybrids have potential optical applications including optical filters, chemical sensors, passive and nonlinear active waveguides, and lasers. Moreover, biomedical applications have been incorporated in the sol-gel matrices. Applications include biochemical processes monitoring, environmental testing, food processing, and drug delivery for medicine or agriculture. Other biomedical applications include coatings for metal implants and bone grafting materials. Cosmetic applications include sunscreen lotions and makeup that have UV absorbers.

Linear Alkyl Benzene Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, And Forecast, 2012 - 2018

Linear alkyl benzene is primarily produced as intermediate when surfactants are produced for utilization in detergents. Linear alkyl benzene is derived exclusively from petroleum derivatives such as benzene & linear paraffin. Linear alkyl benzene is converted to linear alkyl benzene sulfonate which is a biodegradable surfactant. Alkyl benzene sulfonate is used as a surfactant in household & industrial detergents, in emulsifiers in agricultural herbicides, and as a wetting agent.

Browse Report : http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/linear-alkyl-benzene-market.html

The global linear alkyl benzene market is segmented into America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Africa. The market share of North America and Europe are declining because new linear alkyl benzene production facilities are being set up in emerging economies to meet their increasing demand. The increasing demand for linear alkyl benzene in developing countries reflects their gradual shift from soaps to synthetic detergents. During the years from 2012 to 2018, the demand is expected to grow at a steady rate; however, the growth rate might vary according to the region.

The growing demand from the end-users of the Asia-Pacific region is driving the demand in the linear alkyl benzene market. Asia has emerged as the largest producer as well as consumer market of linear alkyl benzene / alkyl benzene sulfonate in the recent years. The Middle East continues to be a major net exporter for linear alkyl benzene/ alkyl benzene sulfonate. Studies carried out on linear alkyl benzene have also shown that it has no detrimental impact on the environment and human health, which drives the demand for linear alkyl benzene.

The decline in demand from mature markets of linear alkyl benzene such as North America, Western Europe, and Japan is a matter of concern. The demand for linear alkyl benzene is on the decline in these markets because manufacturers of detergents are coming up with detergents that contain fewer alkyl benzene sulfonates which have very less impact on its performance. The trend towards increase in the use of liquid detergent products from traditional powder detergent products, which were the major consumer of alkyl benzene sulfonate, is restraining the demand in the linear alkyl benzene market. 

The rate of the feed stock used i.e. benzene and linear paraffin can also hurt producers of linear alkyl benzene.

Some of the leading manufacturers of linear alkyl benzene include Amreya Petroleum Refining, Bisotun Petrochemical, CEPSA Quimica, Chemische Fabrik Wibarco, Chevron Phillips Chemical, Deten Quimica, Emalab, Formosan Union Chemical, Fushun Petrochemical, and Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL).

Global Electronic Chemical Market - Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, And Forecast, 2012 - 2018

Electronic chemicals are highly pure chemicals like strippers, gases, acids, photo resists and so on, which are useful in electronic applications like printed circuits boards (PCB), integrated circuits (IC), flat screens, and semiconductor chips. For this reason, the electronic chemical market follows the growth pattern of the electronic market and allied industries like semiconductors.

Browse Report : http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/electronic-chemical.html

The market is categorized based on type into semiconductors, acids and solvents, printed circuit boards (PCB), CMP slurries, gases and polymers. The electronics market saw a decline of over 20% due to the economic slowdown in 2008. Lower consumer income and decreasing electronic sales were the primary reasons for this sharp decline.  Electronic chemicals are the key elements of modern day electronic equipment and with the expanding electronic market; the demand for electronic chemicals has seen a sharp rise. 

Technological innovation, which leads to development of newer materials like advanced photo resists and k- dielectrics, is also contributing substantially to the market. North America and Asia Pacific occupy a major chunk of the market share and with the economies in Asia being boosted by China and India, the market is set to witness a steady growth.

The growth is primarily expected in the semiconductor and PCB sectors, and products like gases and acids have not shown much signs of growth. The market for gases is expected to show a very moderate growth, which would indirectly hamper the overall market. The major opportunity lies in this segment, wherein the focus should be on increasing the application areas for gases and acids and help the market grow at a better rate. Also by improving chemical qualities, it would be easier to achieve lower cost and assist in better integration in the current applications. Some of the key players in this market include BASF, Bayer AG, Dow Chemicals, AkzoNobel N.V and others.
