Glycerol Market is Expected to Reach USD 2.1 Billion in 2018: Transparency Market Research

According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "Glycerol Market by Source (Biodiesel, Fatty Acids & Fatty Alcohols), by Applications (Personal Care, Alkyd Resins, Polyether Polyols, Others), Downstream Opportunities (Propylene Glycol, Epichlorohydrin, 1, 3 Propanediol and Others) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Trends, Growth and Forecast, 2012 - 2018," the global demand for glycerol was 1,995.5 kilo tons in 2011 and is expected to reach 3,060.4 kilo tons by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2012 to 2018. In terms of revenues, glycerol demand is expected to reach USD 2.1 billion in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2012 to 2018.
Growing demand from the major end use industries such as personal care, pharmaceuticals and foods & beverages is expected to drive glycerol demand over the next five years. In addition, over the last three years, glycerol has been increasingly explored as a platform chemical for a host of renewable chemical intermediates. However; uncertainty of feedstock supply, coupled with low refining margins have emerged as a key challenge for market participants.  
Over supply of glycerol in recent times owing to the surge in biodiesel production has resulted in glycerol prices holding steady. Some of the potential applications which are currently under investigation in the global market include production of propylene glycol (PG), epichlorohydrin (ECH), and 1,3-propanediol (PDO) using glycerol. These compounds are traditionally manufactured using conventional feedstock (petro-based) but glycerol helps in producing these compounds in a more environmental friendly manner and has the potential to be more economical compared to synthetic counterparts. Many companies such as Archer Daniel Midland (ADM), Solvay, and Dow Chemical Company have already ventured into producing PG, ECH and PDO using glycerol as their main feedstock.
Asia Pacific is the leading consumer of glycerol and accounted for approximately 36% of the total glycerol consumed in 2011. Rapidly changing consumer lifestyle, mainly in emerging economies of China and India is one of the major factors behind the growing demand for glycerol in the region.
Personal care and pharmaceutical industry are key application segments for glycerol, accounting for over 37% of the total glycerol consumed in 2011. Food and beverages industry is expected to be the fastest growing market for glycerol, at an estimated CAGR of 7.3% from 2012 to 2018.
The global market for glycerol is dominated by South East Asian (mainly Malaysian) companies such as IOI Group, Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad, Emery Oleochemicals and Wilmar International. Some of the other companies operating in the market include Sofiproteol Group, Procter & Gamble, and Croda.
The study estimates and forecasts the market for glycerol by its production from various sources both in terms of volumes and revenues from 2011 to 2018. The report also estimates and forecasts various applications of glycerol from 2011 to 2018. The report segments the global glycerol market as:

Global Micro Irrigation Systems Market is Expected to Reach USD 4.8 Billion in 2018: Transparency Market Research


According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "Micro Irrigation Systems Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Trends and Forecast, 2012 - 2018," the global micro irrigation systems market is expected to reach USD 4.8 billion by 2018 at a CAGR of 18.0% from 2012 to 2018. Sprinkler irrigation system is expected to remain the largest segment accounting for about 47% revenue share in 2018 of the overall micro irrigation systems market. Drip irrigation system, due to its better efficiency, will be the fastest growing segment at a CAGR of 19.3% from 2012 to 2018. Asia Pacific will remain the fastest growing regional market due to increased encouragement from governments in India and China for the use of micro irrigation systems.
The global micro irrigation systems market is segmented into four major categories - sprinkler irrigation system, drip irrigation system, center-pivot irrigation system, and lateral move irrigation system. Drip irrigation is the most efficient segment among all types, as water is directly delivered to the plant root resulting in optimum water use. Center-pivot irrigation and lateral move irrigation are types of sprinkler irrigation systems; however, the method of irrigating the field sets them apart from sprinkler irrigation. The center-pivot irrigation systems market currently has a small revenue share; however, with robust growth, the segment is expected to double its revenue contribution by 2018.
The major components of sprinkler irrigation system include tubing, pumping unit, fittings/sprinkler heads, and couplers. The pumping unit is the most costly component; however, depending on the size of the field, the number of lateral pipes used may increase the overall cost of the system. The tubing market is the fastest growing segment among sprinkler irrigation systems. The major components of drip irrigation system include tubing, backflow preventers, valves, filters, and pressure regulators.
Increasing problems of water scarcity worldwide, and need for increased crop yield to meet the demands of continuously growing population are some important factors supporting the growth of the micro irrigation systems market. With the significant decrease in ground water levels, water conservation has become a point of concern for the agriculture industry. There is a need to look for efficient ways to irrigate fields and micro irrigation systems are helpful in achieving this purpose.
Netafim is the leading player in the global micro irrigation systems market followed by Jain Irrigation and John Deere & Company. EPC Industries, Valmont Industries, Lindsay Corporation, and Rain Bird among others are some important players in the micro irrigation systems market.
The report titled "Micro Irrigation Systems Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Analysis and Forecast, 2012 - 2018," provides in depth analysis, market size estimates, market shares, volume and forecast for the period 2012 - 2018 for the global micro irrigation systems market. It covers the study of major geographies, namely, North AmericaEuropeAsia Pacific, and Rest of the World. The report study includes analysis of the market by components, crop type, and end user applications.

Global Gynecological Devices Market is Expected to Reach USD 5.3 Billion by 2018: Transparency Market Research


As per the new market report published by Transparency Market Research "Gynecological Devices Market (Surgical Devices, Endometrial Ablation Devices, Female Sterilization and Contraception Devices, Vaginal Speculum, Tenaculum, Biopsy Forceps, Diagnostic Imaging Systems and Gynecological Chairs) -  Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 - 2018," the gynecological devices market was worth USD 3.4 billion in 2011 and is expected to reach USD 5.3 billion in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2012 to 2018. In the gynecological devices market, the surgical devices segment is the largest revenue generator.
The major drivers of this market are growth in acceptance of minimally invasive surgical procedures as a viable substitute for hysterectomy, increase in the prevalence of gynecological conditions, growth in women's preference for more innovative and effective gynecological procedures, rise in the global healthcare expenditure and the aging baby boomer population. On the other hand, lack of capital availability to small manufacturers and delays in the approval procedures in North America are expected to hold back the growth of this market.
Rise in the prevalence of menorrhagia has resulted in growth in demand for endometrial ablation procedures. The new second generation endometrial ablation devices are safe, minimally invasive and less time consuming in nature. The overall improvement in the success rate of endometrial ablation has resulted in increase in the demand for endometrial ablation devices.
Female sterilization & contraception devices and the endometrial ablation devices are the prime sub-segments in the gynecological surgical devices market. Technological innovation in these devices and increase in their efficacy and success rate are the major driving factors of these segments. In addition, introduction of disposable vaginal specula and biopsy forceps will support further growth of the hand instruments segment.
