Polyacrylonitrile Market 2022|Information, Manufacturing Base, Sales Area and Its Competitors

Global polyacrylonitrile market demand is expected to witness a steady growth on account of its increasing usage as a fiber. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers are widely used in making tents, tennis rackets, and fishing rods. Polyacrylonitrile is an organic fiber resin with a linear formula (C3H3N)n. It possesses thermoplastic properties and does not melt under normal conditions. It is a very versatile monomer and has wide applications which include filtration membranes, reverse osmosis fibers, and textile fibers.
 PAN is produced using radical polymerization of acrylonitrile. PAN was first commercially branded and produced on a large scale by DuPont named as Orlon. PAN application as a precursor for carbon fiber manufacturing is the major factor driving the overall market demand. More than half of PAN is used for as an intermediate for carbon fiber production. Carbon fibers are highly used in aerospace, civil engineering and competition sports.
Usage of polyacrylonitrile as a textile fiber is a major application driving the overall demand. This compound is used in the manufacturing of knitted clothing including socks and sweaters. Their low density, high strength, and thermal stability make them an important raw material for tent manufacturing and yacht sails. Further, its application in the manufacturing of sports equipment has been driving the market demand in recent years. These high strength fibers are used to make tennis & badminton rackets and other sports equipment.


High tensile strength and superior mechanical properties have made PAN an important polymer in high-tech applications. Commercial and military aircraft make use of PAN in manufacturing composite structures. They are found in high-tech applications such as missiles, propellant rocket motors, and pressure vessels. Availability of alternative fibers is expected to hamper the growth of overall industry in near future.
 Advancement of technology has resulted in the development of new polymer fibers which is expected to challenge the PAN industry. These fibers are relatively expensive when compared to their substitutes which include glass and plastic fibers. Strict government regulations related to safe manufacturing practices are expected to increase the overall manufacturing cost. Market segmentation is done on the basis of the application which includes commercial and high-tech uses. Commercial application account for maximum segment shares owing to its high usage in textiles. Segmentation demand for high-tech application is increasing in the military sector on account of rising military budget for sophisticated equipment.
Asia Pacific has been the leading market in recent years in terms of demand and is expected to continue its increasing application in textiles. China has shown substantial production and consumption of PAN for the manufacturing of socks and sweaters. Emerging economies such as India and China are expected to witness a significant growth on account of high investment in manufacturing. Further, regional demand is followed by North America mainly on account of high-tech applications. The U.S market has seen a significant usage in the military and commercial aircraft. Europe is expected to show a steady growth over the forecast period with increasing demand from sports equipment manufacturing. South America and Africa is expected to witness a stagnant growth owing to the slow growth of overall development of application industries.

Tonic Water Industry Raw Materials,Manufacturing Expenses and Its Competitors Report 2021

Tonic Water Market is segmented based on type, application, and region. Tonic water is carbonated beverage used as a mixer with gin or other spirits to which quinine is an important ingredient that is bitter in taste. Tonic water is also known as quinine water, Indian tonic. Quinine has property to fight against malaria. The pure tonic water is medicinal and is very bitter in taste, because large proportion of quinine and no sweetener. Quinine is extracted from the cinchona tree and is the first successful drug used to treat human infections disease. Presently, tonic water contains lower amount of quinine content and is consumed for its distinctive bitter flavor. It is also used in mixed drinks, mainly in gin and tonic. Diet and slim line tonic water contains artificial sweeteners such as aspartame. In the United States, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) limits the quinine content in the tonic water to 83ppm, while the daily therapeutic dose of quinine is in the ra

Dried Aluminum Hydroxide Gel Industry Side Effects and Uses Report

Global Dried Aluminum Hydroxide Gel Market is expected to gain a positive CAGR in the forthcoming period. Dried aluminum hydroxide gel is a naturally occurring mineral comprising three layers namely polymorphs, bayerite, doyleite & nordstrandite. Aluminum hydroxide gel is also known as gibbsite. Gibbsite possess a typical metal hydroxide structure comprised with hydrogen bombs. It consists of dual layers of hydroxyl groups with aluminum ions having two-thirds of octahedral holes amid the layers. Apart from medicinal uses, dried aluminum hydroxide gel is also used as fire retardant and is very effective as a smoke suppressant in a wide range of polymers. Commercial driving factors responsible for the growth of dried aluminum hydroxide gel market includes extensive use of aluminum hydroxide gel for medication purpose. Also, rise in cases of heartburn, stomachaches, stomach acid mainly adds to the need for the use of aluminum hydroxide gel which further augments the need fo

Airport Passenger Boarding Bridges Market 2022 Report by Applications, Region, Type and Top Players Analysis

The Global Airport Passenger Boarding Bridges market is anticipated to grow at a positive CAGR in the forthcoming period. A passenger boarding bridge is normally used at airports which covers the distance between airport terminal gate to the aircraft entrance. It is much flexible and can be modified with operational relevance and dimensions. This equipment enables an easy access to aircraft and helps in enhancing security of terminal operations for all weather situations. Technically, these bridges comprise two to three bodies having a glass or steel tunnel with a hydraulic or electromechanical elevation system and a stretchy telescope extension which can be altered according to requirement. It is designed in a way that it can accommodate ground support facilities such as delivering electricity and preconditioned air to the aircraft that helps in lessening energy consumption. Driving factors responsible for the growth of airport passenger boarding bridges include rise in pa
