Automotive is one of the largest application areas of flock adhesives. Flock adhesives play an important role in improving the aesthetics and performance of automobiles. The growth of the flock adhesives market in the Asia Pacific region is mainly driven by China, which is experiencing substantial growth fueled by the rising investments in the infrastructure required for establishing manufacturing facilities of flock adhesives in the country.

The automotive segment will continue to represent the bulk of the demand for flock adhesives due to the increasing requirement for bonding dissimilar materials, substituting traditional materials with synthetic substrates, and increasing focus on reducing VOC emissions. From an engineering and design perspective, flock adhesives are valued because of their ability to bond dissimilar substrates, resist vibration, and distribute stresses over a wide area.

Technological advancements in the end-use industries are fueling the demand for flock adhesives in the North American and European markets. Less cure time and increased performance benefits offered by flock adhesives, such as high-performing seals, better adhesion to a variety of substrates, and resistance to chemicals & gas are boosting the market. For the past few years, energy prices in North America have increased, affecting end-user expenses. Therefore, the end users are more interested in new or different technologies and products that can help them counter the rising energy expenses. For instance, flock adhesives play a major role in reducing the weight of the vehicles, which results in energy conservation and subsequently in reducing energy expenses. This is a major factor which is driving the demand for flock adhesives and their technologies, especially the electrostatic technology that meets the energy efficiency requirements.

Home care
Anionic surfactants are used in home care applications such as laundry detergents, dishwasher detergents, carpet cleaners, floor cleaners, and various types of fabric softeners. Anionic surfactants in detergents help remove oil, dirt, and unwanted particles from fabrics, dishes, and other surfaces. They not only remove the dirt and unwanted particles but also keep them suspended during washing, resulting in a cleaner surface. Anionic surfactants are mainly used in the soap & detergents industry due to their surface tension reduction and wettability properties.

Personal care
Anionic surfactants, when added to a liquid, reduces the surface tension. The reduction in surface tension enhances the spreading and wetting properties. Anionic surfactants are responsible for antimicrobial properties, foaming and conditioning properties (in the case of shampoos, face washes, and skin care creams), mild detergency actions, and preservative properties that are essential in the personal care industry. They also act as cleansing agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, solubilizers, and wetting agents and hence are mainly used in make-up, skin care, hair care, oral care, and other personal care products.

Oil & Gas
The global oil & gas industry uses different specialty chemicals, including anionic surfactants, to produce oil, natural gas, and coal bed methane. The EOR technique extensively uses anionic surfactants that lead to additional oil recovery. The other applications of anionic surfactants in the oil & gas industry are well stimulation, drilling/completion, production/refining, and pipeline transport. In the oil & gas industry, anionic surfactants can be used for different purposes as emulsifiers, dispersants, corrosion inhibitors, foam controlling agents, wetting agents, suspending agents, and biocides. Major oilfield surfactants are sulfates, sulfonates, and lignosulfonates.

Critical questions the report answers:

• Where will all these developments take the industry in the mid to long term?
• What are the upcoming product type of anionic surfactants?

New product launch, expansion, merger & acquisition, and contract & agreement are some major strategies adopted to achieve growth in the anionic surfactant market.

Digital Inks Market- Current Trends and Future Aspect Analysis 2023

Digital printing involves printing from a digital image directly onto a media/substrate. It requires less turnaround time and allows mass customization and on-demand printing. Digital printing inks consist of a pigment suspended in a carrier liquid, which can be water or a solvent. These links are used in a variety of applications, such as advertising, ceramic printing, textile printing, label printing, and others. Presently, digital inks are most widely used in the advertising & promotion application. Direct-to-fabric and transfer paper technologies using water-based digital inks are the upcoming technologies that have led to the increased applicability of digital inks in textile printing. The ceramics tiles industry is using digital inks for the production of custom printed ceramic tiles.

The digital inks market is estimated to be USD 2.71 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 4.17 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 9.1% from 2018 to 2023. The increasing adoption of digital printing by the ceramic tiles industry is projected to drive the digital inks market. Packaging printing is the fastest-growing application of digital inks. Digital inks have low penetration as compared to analogous inks. However, penetration is growing rapidly, especially in the label printing application.

Based on formulation, the UV-cured segment of the digital inks market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. In UV-cured digital inks, there is no carrier liquid, as these inks cure the substrate unlike solvent-based or water-based inks. This makes UV-cured digital inks to dry quickly. These inks have photoinitiators, which produce free radicals when exposed to the UV light that helps in the curing process. 

Based on the substrate, the textile segment of the digital inks market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Digital textile printing is the process of applying colored patterns and designs onto fabric using sublimation digital printing and direct digital printing technologies. Substrates used for digital textile printing include polyester, polyamide, wool, silk, and cellulose.

The packaging segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing application segment of the digital inks market. As compared to conventional printing methods, digital printing has reduced the time and cost of printing in packaging applications. Digital printing offers high quality, increased efficiency, and a better-finished output.
