Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a process which is performed in high vacuum at a very high temperature that is around 200 to 500 degree Celsius. PVD is commonly used for coating processes and also to enhance the properties of components and materials in order to improve their performance and behavior. Nano technologies and material science are some of the new technologies that are important for thin film coatings. PVD techniques are widely used in electronics, computer industry, tools and dies.


Materials used for coating purposes are titanium, aluminum and chromium. The materials are either bombarded with ions or evaporated by high heat. The whole deposition process includes various steps such as arc evaporation, ion plating, sputtering and enhanced sputtering.
The major application areas of PVD are data storage, cutting tools, solar industry, optics industry, medical equipments, flexible packaging, storage industry, microelectronics etc.  In the PVD equipments segment, semiconductors and flat panel displays contribute a larger market share.

One of the growth drivers for PVD technology is the growing demand for longer life products by consumers for which a thin metallic layer is coated on products thus increasing their lifespan. A challenge for this market is to manage quality in the process of coating. PVD coatings are widely accepted as they are environment friendly and do not involve harmful chemicals.

Water soluble fertilizers are a class of fertilizers that are easily dissolved in water and can be applied as well as sprayed on crops to improve the yield and quality of a variety of crops like fruits, vegetables, cereals, pulses etc. One of the benefits of this type of fertilizers is that the user can adjust the concentrations of various nutrients according to the changing needs of crops in different seasons. This ensures uniform supply of nutrients to crops over a period of time.


The global water soluble fertilizers market has been growing at an impressive rate over the past few years and the same trend is expected in the next few years owing to a number of factors. A high growth rate is expected from emerging economies like India, China and Brazil. Some of the factors that work in favor of this market are the ease of application of these fertilizers along with their availability and continuous improvements in micro and mechanized irrigation systems. In addition to this subsidies offered by governments for employing mechanized irrigation systems are expected to drive the growth of this market.

Although fertigation application is the prime driver of this market even foliar application is gaining awareness among users and is expected to drive the market in the next few years. Common major crops like vegetables, fruits and flower crops along with ornamental crops are expected to drive this market. Mergers and acquisitions, collaborations and joint ventures are some of the major developmental initiatives undertaken by industries in this sector which is also expected to drive the growth of this market.

However there are some factors which might prevent this market from realizing its full potential. The main factors responsible for inhibiting the growth of the global market for water soluble fertilizers are the seasonal demand for fertilizers and comparatively higher costs as compared to commodity fertilizers.

Some of the major players in the field of Water Soluble fertilizers include Agrium (Canada), Israel Chemical (Israel), Iowa Fertilizer (Egypt), Qatar Fertilizer (Qatar), Yara International (Norway), Sinochem Fertilizer Co. Ltd (China) etc.

Synthetic rubber is produced by the polymerization of petroleum-derived monomers. Most synthetic rubbers are made up of two or more monomers and hence have the desired superior properties. There are over 200 varieties of synthetic rubber available. The most consumed forms of synthetic rubber include butadiene rubber (BR), acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). Synthetic rubber has been replacing natural rubber (NR) in a variety of applications due to its inherent advantages in terms of its stability and physical properties. Moreover, the supply of natural rubber is weakening, which makes prices highly volatile. In light of this situation, it is imperative that an alternate source to NR is developed and this comes about in the form of natural rubber.


China is the world’s largest producer and consumer of synthetic rubber owing to large production plants for tire and other products. The U.S., Japan, Korea, and Germany follow China in terms of consumption. Among the various applications, tire manufacturing is the largest consumer of synthetic rubber. However, there has been increasing use of synthetic rubber in footwear and construction. The geographical segmentation of the market includes North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and MENA.

The substantial growth in the market is primarily due to the growth of the automotive industry and the growing demand for tires. Moreover, the growing disposable income levels have further boosted the demand for other applications like footwear and construction. Also, natural rubber has created big crossover opportunities for the development of the synthetic market.  Being petroleum derived, synthetic rubber experiences similar price volatility as its raw materials like naphtha, ethylene and benzene. In addition to this, the environmental concerns about crude oil and its derivative could hamper the development of the market.

China is expected to drive the demand for synthetic rubber due to its vast product manufacturing facilities. Furthermore, China has the world’s largest automotive industry and is expected to maintain its position over the next six years. The demand for high performance tires due to the labeling regulations in countries like Japan, Korea, and EU has led to the growth in Solution-SBR (S-SBR) demand. S-SBR is expected to gain a substantial market share over the next six years. Lanxess is the world’s largest manufacturer of synthetic rubber and has over 30 production sites across the world. Some other major players in the market include Dow Chemicals, Sinopec, Versalis, Asahi Kasei, and Synthos S.A among others.
