Dublin, November 3, 2021--(Business Wire)--"Bio-based polyurethane market size, product sharing and trend analysis report (rigid foam, coatings, adhesives and sealants, flexible foam), and finally Usage (Packaging, Building & Construction) and Segment Forecasts, 2021-2028" reports have been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com products.

By 2028, the global bio-based polyurethane market is expected to reach 52.8 million U.S. dollars, and the compound annual growth rate from 2021 to 2028 is expected to be 5.9%

The automotive industry's increasing demand for seat cushions, seat backs, armrests, headrests and other products is expected to drive the growth of the bio-based PU market.

In automotive applications, the use of natural fiber-reinforced plastics and plant-based polymer resins can help reduce carbon dioxide emissions and vehicle weight, thereby helping to improve fuel economy. Therefore, it is expected that in the forecasted several years, the government's increasing attention to reducing global carbon dioxide emissions will drive the demand for products for automotive applications.

The continuous expansion of applications in the packaging, building and construction, electrical and electronic, automotive and consumer goods industries is also expected to provide growth opportunities for major players. For example, in September 2020, Covestro announced a cooperation with Shandong Inov New Materials Co., Ltd. to use CO2-based polyol Cardyon to complete the pavement of sidewalks.

This is China's first use of innovative materials based on carbon dioxide to produce sports flooring. Companies such as Ford Motor Company, ZMP Inc., La-Z-Boy Inc. and Airysole Footwear Pvt. Limited companies are some potential customers in the market.

Increasing attention to the toxicity of petrochemical products and the depletion of crude oil reserves have been driving the development of bio-based polymers such as bio-based polyurethane (PU).

Most government regulations restricting the consumption of petroleum-based plastics in certain applications such as medical devices are expected to further stimulate the production of bio-based polyurethanes during the forecast period.

Highlights of the Bio-based Polyurethane Market Report

In terms of revenue, the soft foam sector has the highest revenue share in 2020 and is expected to maintain its dominant position during the forecast period.

Due to the increasing demand for green buildings, the demand for bio-based PU foam as an efficient insulation material is increasing, thereby achieving higher energy-saving effects.

These foams are widely used in spray form to seal holes, cracks, seams and bonding other building materials, ultimately reducing the amount of conditioning or heat required inside the building.

Various strategic initiatives have been recorded in the past few years to promote market growth.

For example, in September 2020, Covestro collaborated with the Swiss company FoamPartner to develop a partially carbon dioxide-based foam.

Carbon dioxide is used as a raw material for the production of polyols, rather than fossil raw materials such as petroleum.

The CO2 polyols provided under the Cardyon brand are used by FoamPartner as raw materials to produce polyurethane foams for various parts of automotive interiors.

Due to the well-established electrical and electronic manufacturing bases in China, Japan, and South Korea, the Asia-Pacific region is the largest regional market in 2020.

(Bloomberg)-President Joe Biden's move to release supplies from U.S. oil reserves will flood the market with sour crude oil that refiners are currently avoiding. Bloomberg Asia’s richest man pays attention to the Walton family succession plan. The 24-year-old aims to overthrow Victoria’s Secret. New York City is building an oyster wall to withstand floods.

Moscow (Reuters)-Russia requires 13 foreign technology companies (mainly American technology companies) to have formal representation on Russian territory by the end of 2021, otherwise they will face possible restrictions or outright bans. Late Monday, the request from the national communications regulator Roskomnadzor hardly specified what these companies need to do, but instead targeted some companies that already have offices in Russia. Since the new law came into effect on July 1, foreign social media giants with more than 500,000 daily users have been forced to open offices in Russia.

Soon after I published an article about Lithium Americas Corp., a subscriber sent me an email about Livent Corp.. The Balanced Volume (OBV) line has shown an upward trend in the past year, even when LTHM is trading sideways. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator is located above the zero line, but crosses downwards to obtain a take profit sell signal.

Biden hopes to provide American drivers with cheaper refueling, but oil-producing countries want prices to rise.

Goldman Sachs analysts said that the coordinated release of government oil reserves led by the United States may increase the supply of crude oil by about 70 to 80 million barrels, which is lower than the market price of more than 100 million barrels. The bank said in a report entitled "A drop in the ocean": "According to our pricing model, such a release value will be less than US$2/barrel, which is much lower than the selling of US$8/barrel that has occurred since the end of October." November 23rd. After the United States and other consumer countries released oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in an attempt to cool the market, global oil prices rebounded to a one-week high on Tuesday, but failed to meet some expectations.

New data shows that as the Biden administration and its allies scramble to provide more oil to the market by releasing inventories, shale oil producers are putting the brakes on reinvestment. This is a sign of widening differences between American Petroleum Corporation and Washington. This restraint has become the latest point of friction between oil producers and the White House. On Tuesday, after efforts to persuade OPEC and US oil-producing countries to speed up production failed, US President Joe Biden coordinated with China, India, Japan and South Korea to release oil inventories.

(Bloomberg)-Samsung Electronics outlined a plan to build a semiconductor factory in the United States at a cost of 17 billion U.S. dollars, which will add more than 2,000 jobs, expand the Korean giant’s foothold in Texas, and strengthen Its role as an important supplier in the global manufacturing supply chain.

The Democratic President announced the largest release in the history of what he called the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve to coordinate with other countries to increase domestic supply. The White House is also investigating possible illegal actions by oil and gasoline companies, saying that these companies are artificially raising natural gas prices.

There is no doubt that the spin-off of GE Healthcare and the company that will not spin-off will be the two stronger ones, but I think the third business will be the most interesting. This is why investors should not quickly ignore the merger of GE Power, GE Renewable Energy and GE Digital. As a reminder, GE's plan includes divesting GE Healthcare in early 2023 (GE retains 19.9% ​​of the new company), then merging GE Power, GE Renewable Energy and GE Digital into one business, and divesting it in 2024.

In view of some worrying news about the plan recently, customers have asked more questions. The following is what the consultants said.

As part of its efforts to reduce gasoline prices, the Ministry of Energy will release 50 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

For 2021, single filers with revised adjusted gross income (MAGI) of US$140,000 or more (raised to US$144,000 in 2022) or married couples whose combined MAGI filing exceeds US$208,000 (raised to US$214,000 in 2022), Contributions to Roth IRA are not allowed). The Roth IRA allows tax-free qualifying distributions in retirement, which can be invaluable if you expect to enter high tax rates in retirement. Fortunately, for wealthy taxpayers, there is an available solution to the obstacles of the Roth IRA: the backdoor Roth IRA.

The natural gas market rose during Tuesday's trading hours because it looks like we are trying to form some type of falling wedge. If this is the case, it may indicate that the buyer is ready to try again.

Almost a month ago, Indian farmer Suresh Dhane harvested soybeans from an acre of land, but like millions of others, he has been keeping his crops instead of selling them to oilseeds Processors hope that prices will rise. Farmer sales have slowed down India’s oilseed crush and may force the country to increase imports of edible oils such as soybean oil, palm oil and sunflower oil, even though local soybean production is expected to increase by more than one-tenth from a year ago. “Last year, I sold the soybeans at 4,000 rupees ($53.70) per 100 kilograms immediately after harvesting them. A few months later, the prices soared to more than 9,000 rupees,” Dhane said while drying the soybeans outside his home.
