  Overview: The global opacifiers market has been segmented by type, application, and region. By product, the global opacifiers market has been segmented into titanium dioxide, opaque polymers, zircon, zinc oxide, cerium oxide, antimony trioxide, tin oxide, and arsenic trioxide. Among these, the titanium dioxide is the leading segment owing to its extensive use as whitener, scattering visible light resulting in opaque color and creates reflective and bright quality when applied to a surface. Additionally, it is used as a thickener and pigment for creams and sunscreen products owing to its transparent and UV absorption characteristics. Based on application, the market has been segmented into paints & coatings, plastics, ceramics, paper, personal care, inks, fibers, home care, glass, and others. The paints & coatings segment accounted for a major market share in 2017 on account of the high demand for paints & coatings in major end-use industries such as aerospace, a...

  Market Overview: Tungsten, also known as wolframis, is a naturally occurring chemical element. It exists on the Earth combination with other elements in the form of chemical compounds. Wolframite and Scheelite are the important ores of tungsten. Tungsten is primarily used in manufacturing hard metals based on tungsten carbide which is one of the hardest carbides. On account of its hardness it is widely used in manufacturing wear-resistant abrasives and cutting tools and equipment. This application accounts for more than 50% of the industrial consumption of the tungsten. Additionally, the ability of tungsten carbide to resist abrasion it is widely used in making jewelries. Based on metal, the Global Tungsten Market has been segmented into foils, ribbons, wires, rods, tubes, and sheets & strips. Ribbons segment held the largest market share in 2017 on account of significant use in vast industrial applications and in vapor deposition processes. It is widely used in the elect...

  The Global Paper Pigments Market has been segmented by Type, Application, and Region. By Type, the Global Paper Pigments Market has been segmented into calcium carbonate, kaolin, and others. The calcium carbonate segment is further classified ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC). Calcium carbonate is leading the market due to its low cost and the increasing demand for bright and bulk paper as it offers higher brightness than the use of kaolin. Based on Application, the market has been segmented into coated and uncoated paper. The coated paper is further classified on the basis of coating type into satin-coated paper, gloss-coated paper, dull-coated paper, matte-coated paper, and cast-coated paper. The uncoated paper is categorized based on the surface type into woven or smooth uncoated paper, laid uncoated paper, and linen uncoated paper. The coated paper segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 as it is less porous and offers ...

  Precious Metals, also called as noble metals are rare and possess significant economic value. They are inert in nature and exhibits high ductility, excellent electrical conductivity, luster, and superior chemical resistance. Owing to its relatively inert nature, they find widespread applications in jewelry and electronics industries. The Global Precious Metals Market has been segmented on the basis of Type, Application, and End-Use Industry. Based on Type, the Global Precious Metals Market has been divided into gold, silver, and platinum group metals. The gold segment was the largest in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period due to the surging demand for gold in jewelry, awards, bullion and coins as investment, dentistry, and in microelectronics. The market for silver is projected to grow at the highest CAGR in the following years owing to its low cost and surging demand in diverse applications such as electronics, photography, cutlery, medi...

  The latest study conducted by Market Research Future (MRFR) reveals that the global market for synthetic fiber is set to exhibit an above-average CAGR of 7.25% during the forecast period (2018-2023). Unlike natural fibers, synthetic fibers are produced using chemicals. The procedure involves polymer and monomers linking through polymerization. Synthetic fibers are artificial and possess superior chemical and physical properties such as lightweight, high durability, elasticity and wrinkle resistance. This has helped in driving the popularity of synthetic fibers extensively. Moreover, such fibers have a relatively lower-price tag then bio-based or natural fibers. They are used in manufacturing products that require moisture resistance, and easy crease recovery. These essential qualities of the synthetic fiber makes it an apt material for the textile industry. Synthetic fibers are increasingly used in clothing, home furnishing and automotive interior designing applications. By the y...

  Global Iodine Market Overview Components, with multiple benefits, are rarely widely available. Iodine contradicts the notion with its widespread usage across industrial verticals, and it is readily available with a cost-efficient tag on it. The global iodine market can escalate to a valuation of USD 1,073.7 million by 2023, growing at a high CAGR during the forecast period (2018-2023). Iodine’s proliferation in sectors from nutrition to healthcare and even in imaging technology has already given it a vast horizon to explore its market potential. An essential nutritional component, iodine works in X-ray contrast media as a tracer radioactive and as an anti-thyroid element in pharmaceuticals. Iodine’s percolation in imaging technology has elaborated the scope of iodine market further with each passing day experiencing a rise in LCD screen consumption. What can further cement the iodine market growth is its monopoly; without an appropriate substitute, iodine can command the mark...
