Why Structural Steel is Considered as One of the Green Materials?

14-June-2019: The global structural steel market is expected to reach USD 140.4 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is projected to expand at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period. Increasing construction spending in emerging economies is projected to drive the demand for structural steel.




Strong economic growth in several economies has led to high investment in construction of public infrastructure such as hospitals, bridges, housing societies, and offices. As per the reports of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), China and India witnessed around USD 136 billion and USD 40 billion worth Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) respectively, in 2017. Rising need for housing in these countries is driving investments in construction sector.

Another factor driving the structural steel market is strict norms and regulations associated with Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions. Structural steel is considered as one of the green materials as it minimizes impact of natural disasters. Steel products can be recycled again and again which helps reduce energy consumption. The industry is leading in terms of recycling and has recovery rate of more than 90%. In the recent past, this sector has developed various technologies resulting in reduction of greenhouse gases.

South Asia is anticipated to exhibit ample potential for application of structural steel in industrial building. The entry of international players is anticipated to create revenue as well as employment opportunities in emerging economies including India and Maldives. Numerous government initiatives for the development of projects such as Smart Cities, have contributed significantly to growth of construction sector in the past few years.

Use of advanced software is projected to augment growth of the market over the forecast period. These software help design structural analysis programs for various applications. This analysis involves complex and time consuming calculations. Software such as SemiComp Member Design and FERPINTA Member Calculator help design truss structures, hollow structural applications, long span roofs, bracing applications, and footbridges.

Super Absorbent Polymers are Used to Absorb and Retain Fluids Under Moderately High Pressure

3-June-2019: The global super absorbent polymer market size is poised to reach USD 12.13 billion by 2025, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc., posting a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period. Growing demand from various application sectors such as baby diapers, adult incontinence products, agriculture, and female hygiene products is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.

Super Absorbent Polymer Market

Super absorbent polymer is a key component of baby diapers. SAPs are used to absorb and retain fluids under moderately high pressure. Emerging regions such as Asia Pacific and Central & South America are likely to witness a sharp rise in the demand for baby diapers owing to growing population, rising disposable income, and increasing awareness regarding benefits of synthetic baby diapers, which are estimated to play a key role in the development of the overall market.

Factors such as constantly developing medical infrastructure, technological advancements, and growing accessibility to medical treatments have resulted in an increase in life expectancy rates. Growing life expectancy is expected to further supplement the growth of the adult incontinence product market and, in turn, boost the growth of the SAP market.

Super absorbent polymers find application in the agriculture industry owing to their water retention and water absorbing properties, which makes them perfectly suitable for agricultural applications, particularly in water-scarce regions. These super absorbent polymers increase crop yield and water use efficiency. Problems such as diversified soil characteristics, paucity of large cultivable land, and underprivileged conditions of farmers result in inability to adopt expensive and latest technologies and agricultural methods.
