This research service provides qualitative analyses of drivers of decarbonizing the agriculture and nutrition value chain. The research analyzes the impact of different types of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on the value chain and highlights the reduction initiatives and targets of stakeholders across the food and beverage value chain. It explores...

Fabrication of technical ceramics is a complex multi-stage process. Whilst there are other ways to produce finished parts, sintering of ceramic powder remains the dominant process. In most cases, the powder producer and part fabricator are distinct, so powder producers are a critical part of the overall industry value chain. Often, the fabrica...

This Frost & Sullivan study tracks digital developments in the global plastics industry and seeks to identify future opportunities for further use of digital technology. Findings are presented as domains of digitalisation (the domains of digitalisation indicated in this study are slightly different from those in other Frost & Sullivan digital tra...

To promote safe interactions between humans and robots, the discipline of soft robotics incorporates low modulus yet highly dexterous materials into robotic systems. Easily deformable materials like polymers, elastomers, alloys, biohybrids, and nanostructures in the form of fluids, gels, soft electronics, and wearables (with elastic and rheological...

Additives form an integral part of the polymer recycling industry. They are extensively used to modify the properties of plastic products during the compounding and processing stages. This study includes discussion about the challenges associated with recycling and the demand for recycled polymers. Four additives—stabilizers, compatibilizers, impac...

Industry perceptions of waste are being redefined by the upcycling movement, which views it as an untapped source of innovation and value rather than a problem. Upcycling has emerged as a key trend enabling the creation of high-value materials from waste and by-products for food, cosmetics, packaging, textiles, and biotech industries. The growing r...

The specialty chemicals industry in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is transitioning into a new phase of development. While the region has long established global competitiveness in upstream petrochemicals, downstream intermediate and specialty segments remain partially developed and, in several cases, import dependent. Accelerating investm...

This study assesses chlorine derivative opportunities across the MENA region. It analyzes the existing chlorine derivative landscape and identifies attractive specialty chlorine derivative opportunities.A comprehensive chlorine derivative universe was established based on global chlorine consumption patterns. A multi-stage screening approach was de...

The masterbatches market includes color, additive, white, black, and filler segments. It also comprises 2 end-product families: thermoplastics and thermosets.Manufacturers use masterbatches to incorporate pigments and additives into polymer resins and elastomers more efficiently. These compounds improve product uniformity and process stability by e...
