First, the drop in prices of brand-name pharmaceuticals (the industry has estimated that the scheme will mean an average price cut of 10 per cent for covered brand products) will hinder the potential growth of the market share of generics, although this drop represents an undeniable achievement for the RP system in itself. 

With the increase of production capacity for polyester and other compounds BASF shows a clear commitment to the growth of the market for biodegradable polymers. Ecoflex has been established as the enabling polyester for renewable raw materials like starch and PLA in the last decade. 

The money that is invested in research and development is thought to be a reflection of the chances of successful discovery. Without a doubt, the more money that is invested, the more research that can be done. If, however, the investment is say 10% of sales income and the growth of the market is 5% per annum, then the company is investing too much as it will not recoup its investment. 

Many venture capitalists like to see a billion-dollar market before backing a technology idea, and perhaps your TOA doesn t add up to something that sizable. Perhaps you have undervalued the potential for growth of the market, or perhaps you have ignored market segments that could add up to sufficient size. 

Continuous emulsion polymerization processes are presently employed for large scale production of synthetic rubber latexes. Owing to the recent growth of the market for polymers in latex form, this process is becoming more and more important also in the production of a number of other synthetic latexes, and hence, the necessity of the knowledge of continuous emulsion polymerization kinetics has recently increased. Nevertheless/ the study of continuous emulsion polymerization kinetics hasf to datef received comparatively scant attention in contrast to batch kinetics/ and very little published work is available at present/ especially as to the reactor optimization of continuous emulsion polymerization processes. For the theoretical optimization of continuous emulsion polymerization reactors/ it is desirable to understand the kinetics of emulsion polymerization as deeply and quantitatively as possible. 

As a result of the above trends, many innovative opportunities for reducing the cost of APIs are put on the back burner awaiting developments which, in those APIs that reach the market place, may bring resurrection. The growth of the market for temozolomide may be just such a case. 

Scrap, a rejected and nonprime material from the semiconductor was the main supply route in the early days of PV. Due to the fast growth of the market, scrap is not sufficient and the main source today is nonprime polysilicon, deliberately produced by operating the conventional Siemens process with more economical parameters (e.g., faster production rates, lower energy... 

Compared to the predominant applications of these carbon materials as adsorbents for drinking water, wastewater, and gas purification, as fillers in rubber production, or as refractory materials, however, their use in the catalyst market represents only a moderate share. The potential growth of the market for carbons in catalysis depends on (1) better understanding of the chemistry of carbon surfaces and fine tuning of the microstructure of these materials, which could then be exploited in the design of truly unique catalysts and (2) improvements in quality control and production methods, to supply constant-quality materials (synthetic carbons). There are additional opportunities to increase the market value of carbon materials in the near future, due to the rapidly advancing development of fuel cells, the use of novel carbon materials, the increasing need for catalytic... 

The annual growth of the markets is considerable. Worldwide, over 1 Mio mto of WPC are produced per year. While it is just under 1 Mio mto in Northern America, Europe has, with an estimated 105,000 mto (2006), still quite low values, followed by Asia with approximately 100,000 mto. ... 

After the success of the Li-Ion battery, the research for cathode-active materials has been concentrating on Uthinm-containing first-row transition-metals oxide with 4 V-class high electromotive force, because it can serve as a Uthium source to a carbon-negative electrode. Unfortunately, all 4 V-cIass rechargeable cathodes, LiCoO, LiNiOj, and LiMn O, have the essential problans of cost and environmental impact, because these cathodes commonly include rare metals as redox center. As shown in Table 9.1, these problems become serious especially for LiCoO along with the further rapid growth of the market for electric vehicles expected in the near future. 

Poly Hi Solidur Plastics India Limited [4] developed products for use on the Indian Railways based on ultra-high molecular weight PE (UHMWPE Hoechst s Hostalen GUR). The base polymer is mixed with patented additives and uses a computer controlled sintering process and sophisticated fabrication methods to produce a material which is claimed to have much higher values for a number of technically important properties such as wear, chemical and water resistance, impact strength and dynamic coefficient of friction. The growth of the market for UHMWPE products is briefly discussed, and the applications targeted by Poly Hi Solidur Plastics are discussed. 

Fortunately in the development of Ryton Polyphenylene Sulfide at Phillips Petroleum Company, all of the above factors were present throughout the project, thus contributing to its success. Once a new product becomes profitable, the same sort of backing is required to continue the growth of the market. However, this backing is generally easier to achieve since everyone likes a winner. 

In order to gain a better understanding of the global polyethylene market, it is important to examine the growth of the market based in the five individual regions of the globe. These are North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East/Africa and Asia/Pacific. 

Offshore wind energy industry has grown very rapidly over the last years. The cumulative installed capacity of offshore wind power in the EU has increased from 532 MW in the year 2003 to 6.6 GW in the end of 2013, which represents an annual growth of about 29% (European 2014). Along with the growth of the market for offshore wind energy, particular attention should be focused on Operation and Maintenance (O M) as well as reliability and availability of the installed wind power systems. 

The development of sanitary products for pets influenced strongly the generation of pet products. Of particular significance to this growth of the market is the application of superabsorbent polymers (hereinafter abbreviated as SAP). In the following, sanitary products for pets will be described with respect to the application of SAP. 

Due to the high value of the energy content, lithium ion batteries have triggered the growth of the market of popular devices, such as mobile phones, laptop computers, MP3s, and others. Indeed, lithium ion batteries are today produced in biUions of units per year [146,147].
