Improving Glue: Ceresana Expects Growing Global Market for Bio-Based Adhesives
Sugar, starch, or soy: more than 15% of all adhesives are already made from renewable raw materials. In the spirit of the bio-economy and circular economy, the proportion of plant- and animal-based raw materials used in adhesive products is also constantly increasing. The latest Ceresana report on the global market for bio-based adhesives forecasts that sales of “green” glues will increase to around USD 4.5 billion by 2034. In order to reduce the ecological footprint and dependence on crude oil and natural gas, bio-based components are increasingly being added to conventional adhesives made from petrochemical plastics. Growth in demand for high-performance and eco-friendly adhesives is particularly occurring in the construction sector, the field of paper and packaging, and the woodworking industry.

Useful Alcohols: Ceresana Analyzes the World Market for Solvents
Are solvents a solution to our waste problem? In any case, they can be used to recover raw materials that are as good as new, even from mixed or contaminated waste: Solvents allow targeted and clean removal of unwanted plastic types, labeling, and impurities. Chemical plastic recycling is an innovative application example for solvents. The potent chemicals can dissolve or dilute other substances without chemically altering them. Not only precision cleaning agents for printed circuit boards and microchips, but also nail polish remover and numerous other everyday products would hardly be possible without isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and more. Ceresana has now analyzed the global market for solvents for the fifth time.

Chemicals in Demand: Ceresana Analyzes the Global Market for Plastic Additives
Solid or malleable, colored, durable, and inexpensive: Thanks to additives, plastics are becoming virtually invincible materials. Additives are usually only added in small quantities, but without them plastic products would not stand a chance against heat, UV rays, and oxidation. More than 10,000 different chemicals are used to improve the properties of plastics, including fillers, plasticizers, pigments and colorants, flame retardants, antioxidants, light stabilizers and heat stabilizers, blowing agents for foams, impact modifiers, and lubricants. The demand for these additives is growing in line with the constant increase in plastics production: According to the latest market study by Ceresana, around 36.7 million tonnes of plastic additives are already consumed worldwide every year.

Masterful Additives: Current Ceresana Study on the Global Market for Masterbatches
Highly concentrated, expensive mixtures of additives for tire rubber production were once only allowed to be mixed by the master personally – this is how “masterbatches” are said to have got their name. Today, in the production of plastics, premixed granulates facilitate and improve the addition of additives that make polymers colorful, durable, and usable. Ceresana has analyzed the global market for masterbatches already for the fourth time: The market researchers forecast that demand for these plastic ingredients will increase to almost 5.9 million tonnes by 2033.

Thriving Under Pressure: Ceresana Analyzes the European Market for Plastic Pipes
Centrifugally cast, wound, or extruded: glass fiber-reinforced plastic pipes are particularly robust, heat-resistant, and durable. Both glass fibers and synthetic resins can be processed directly on site and cured with hot water or UV light, in the event of pipe damage, for example. The latest, seventh edition of the Ceresana report on the European market for plastic pipes includes GRP pipes as a separate product category for the first time. Pipes made of fiber-reinforced composites, usually mixtures of glass fibers and thermosetting polyester or epoxy resins, are currently the market segment with the most dynamic growth. However, their costs and requirements are higher than those of pipes made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene, polypropylene, or other thermoplastic materials: To date, GRP pipes only make up a relatively small proportion of the approximately 5 million tonnes of plastic pipes sold in Europe each year.
