U.S PMMA Film And Sheet Market Size Worth $1.11 Billion By 2025

The U.S. polymethyl methacrylate film & sheet market size is expected to reach USD 1.11 Billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The proliferation of high-speed internet has driven online retail and shopping trends, positively impacting the demand for LED displays and communication signage in physical retail stores, to compete with these virtual outlets.

What Is PMMA?

PMMA (poly (methyl methacrylate)), commonly known as acrylic, is a transparent thermoplastic that is generally used as a lightweight-shatter-resistant glass alternative. PMMA has various other names such as acrylic glass and plexiglass, and is sold under various brand names such as Plexiglas, Lucite, Perclax, Crylux, Acrylite and Perspex. The material is formed through the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer. Besides being a glass-alternative, it can also be used as a casting resin, or in coatings and inks.

Innovations such as anti-algae coatings, non-yellowing sheets that offer high protection against UV and rain, and unusual design flexibility offered for construction applications have also contributed to industry growth in recent years. Among all the thermoplastics, this particular plastic possesses the highest surface hardness and is different from conventional plastics owing to its unique properties such as high transparency, UV resistance, high durability and recyclability.

Properties & Manufacturing

PMMA is completely recyclable as it can be broken down into its constituent parts by using the special thermal process. The product is heated to around 400 degrees Celsius to obtain the staring material methyl methacrylate (MMA). On distillation of the liquid MMA to over 99% purity we get the original material back which can be used again as a starting material. It is an economical alternative for polycarbonate, in matters of flexural strength, tensile strength, UV tolerance and transparency. Another advantage over polycarbonate is that PMMA does not contain bisphenol-A subunits, which are potentially harmful.

  • The major market players include Evonik Industries, Arkema Group, Lucite International, Unigel Group, Plazit-Polygal Group, PolyOne Corporation, SABIC and Plaskolite.

Coiled Tubing Market Size Worth $4.72 Billion By 2027

The global coiled tubing market size is expected to reach USD 4.72 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 4.8% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to grow on account of increasing need to maximize oil and gas output from existing oil and gas wells. Rising demand for primary energy for transportation, power generation, and household activities has resulted in increased consumption of oil and gas in major economies. As a result, there are increasing investments in exploration and production activities in unconventional oil and gas reserves.

Coiled Tubing (CT) plays a significant role in enabling upstream oil and gas players to produce oil in a cost effective way. It can be used on live wells as the product can be inserted into the well while the oil and gas production is ongoing. Moreover, there are number of well intervention operations such as well completion and well cleaning that can be performed in a cost effective way through utilization of coiled tubing. It can endure greater tensile and compressive forces when perforating highly deviated and horizontal wells.

North America was the largest regional market for coiled tubing in 2019. The region is predicted to maintain its dominance in the forthcoming years. Significant boost in the production of tight oil particularly in U.S has resulted in significant rise in demand for coiled tubing. Canada is yet another prominent regional market, as there are number of deviated wells in the country, for which CT is largely used for well intervention and drilling services.

The top three players in the global coiled tubing market include Halliburton, Baker Hughes Company, and Schlumberger Limited. These companies gain competitive edge in oilfield service market as the oil and gas exploration and production companies are aiming to minimize cost of production through innovative technologies like coiled tubing.

Agar Agar Gum Market Size Worth $345 Million By 2025

The global agar-agar gum market size is anticipated to reach USD 345.3 million by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. shifting consumer preference towards animal-free products and popularity of dairy-based products to maintain healthy diets has resulted in significant market growth.

Does the term ‘agar-agar gum’ ring a bell for you? If it does not, well, in the near future, it definitely will. It is a gelatinous polysaccharide used in food products that is well-known amongst the vegetarian and vegan crowd, as shifting lifestyle choices across the globe has prompted various substitutes for animal-based items such as gelatin in the food industry. Gelatin, once highly popular and a crucial ingredient for baked goods, desserts, confectionaries and similar items, is now considered by many as “non-vegetarian” since it is derived from animal sources. This has pushed the demand of agar-agar gum, its ‘vegetarian substitute’, in many regions.

Of Great Nutritional Value

Agar is actually composed of two substances, namely agarose and agaropectin. The gum is derived from seaweed, extracted and processed under stringent conditions to produce powders, squares or strips which can be utilized directly in cooking or baking applications. The best thing about agar-agar gum is that it is colorless, flavorless and odorless, which eliminates requirement for any processing, and it is sold in the form of dehydrated flake or powder, and helps in attaining a “thick” texture, from custards to soups. Another feature of this product is that it is high in fiber, iron and calcium, while being devoid of fats.

The major difference between agar-agar gum and gelatin is that unlike the latter, agar-agar sets more firmly, maintaining its furnace even at high temperatures. Many of the dairy products need a firm gel structure, and this is where agar-agar comes into the picture. The gel helps in maintaining the shape and consistency of the products, thus preserving optical freshness. Even at lower concentration levels of 0.04%, the gel can provide stability and thickness to the food items without any technical assistance. The gel strength of agar-agar is also significantly higher, when compared to gelatin.

Agar-agar gum is synonymous with health benefits, and it is no wonder that the food industry has recognized its potential and moved quickly to integrate it in different products.

  • The product is rich in minerals such as potassium, magnesium and folate, and is ideal for weight loss plans, being used in Japan as such.
  • Consumer preference has started shifting towards animal-free products, and with gelatin being derived from animal sources, consumers have naturally moved away from it towards vegetarian substitutes.
  • The global population has steadily become health-conscious, which has led to the popularity of dairy-based products in consumer diet, again factoring in the growth of the agar-agar gum market.
  • The activity of seaweed harvesting and collection has been a major source of income to the rural fishing population of Spain, Portugal, Morocco, and Chile, among others, especially to the female demographic.
  • Major technological advancements have been made in this industry, such as metal scrapers, which ensure that large quantities of seaweed can be extracted with minimum effort.
  • New and improved techniques for pre-treatment, cleaning, dewatering, and filtration and gelation have been introduced, which has propelled the agar-agar gum industry.
  • With vegan and vegetarian diets now governing a significant number of households, creative cooking methods have taken a hold of the market. Textured foods and foamed products have also proved critical for market growth of the product.
  • Key companies in the industry include TIC Gums, AEP Colloids, Meron Group, Myeong Shin Agar, Marine Science Co., Ltd, Agarmex, Orient Resources Company, B&V, Titan Biotech Ltd, AgarGel, Central Drug House (P) Ltd., Agar Swallow, Agar Corporation, Ltd., AsionsChem, Indoalgas and Able Sales Company.
