The preferences of packaging companies worldwide are inclining toward environment-friendly solutions. UV-cured printing inks, apart from releasing almost no emission, offer energy efficiency and long service life and generate low heat. Therefore, a large number of chemical companies are focused on developing water-based and UV-cured inks, as they are eco-friendly, and innovative printing ink technologies that take a short production time. These initiatives, combined with the growth in the packaging industry, are driving the consumption of printing inks. The changing lifestyle of consumers, coupled with the rapid GDP increase and growing youth population globally, is propelling the demand for high-quality flexible packaging solutions for an array of products. Moreover, the steady growth in industries such as labeling, advertising, food and beverages, packaging, and publication is propelling the printing inks market to new heights. Among all, the label and packaging industry generates t...

Commonly known as spun laid, spunbond nonwoven fabric is produced by the continuous process of fibres spun and can be directed with air streams or can be dispersed directly to a web-like deflector. Spunbond is free of lubricants and it is a non-toxic material. As the spunbond nonwoven fabric is very durable in nature and has beneficial traits, such as high strength and resistance to bacteria, it is being increasingly used in the textile industry.  Additionally, with the soaring sales of diapers, feminine hygiene pants, and toddler training pants, owing to the surging per capita income and growing public awareness about personal hygiene, the demand for spunbond nonwovens is increasing sharply. Moreover, the mushrooming requirement for adult incontinence products, on account of the ballooning population of geriatric people, especially in Germany, Japan, and Italy, is also driving the demand for these fabrics across the globe. According to the United Nations Department of Economic an...

The growing adoption of tungsten carbide in various industries such as oil & gas, defense, metalworking, power generation, and automotive is fueling its sales across the world. Tungsten carbide exhibits high stiffness and thermal conductivity and provides good resistance against ethanol, gasoline, acetone, water, ammonia, organic solvents, and weak acids. It can be easily molded and pressed into various sizes and shapes for use in applications in cutting tools, equipment, industrial machinery, abrasives, and drills. Besides, the recovery in the oil and gas industry and increasing oil and gas exploration & production (E&P) activities and expansion of the metalworking industry are also propelling the demand for tungsten carbide across the world. Due to these factors, the global tungsten carbide market is exhibiting huge expansion, as a result of which, the revenue of the market is predicted to rise from $1,762.1 million in 2017 to $2,176.8 million by 2023, while the market wi...
