Market growth potential

The variety of applications and the market growth potential have attracted numerous entries into the residuum hydroprocessing catalyst market, as indicated by the compilation of commercial vendors and catalysts in Table XXIII. Catalysts are available in an assortment of shapes, sizes, and formulations, but detailed information on catalytic metals, support composition, pore size, and pore size distribution is sketchy. 

Electrochemical science and engineering is moving extremely rapidly in areas of advanced energy conversion devices, microelectronics, and sensors. These technologies have significant market growth potential, and international competition is keen. Greater support from both federal and industrial sources would have a major impact in these areas. 

Catalysts played a major role in establishing the economic strength of the chemical industry in the first half of the 20th century and the environmental revolution in the industry will place new demands on catalysis and catalytic processes. Remarkably, while it has been estimated that some 90% of the important new chemical processes introduced in the last 50 years depend on catalysis, the market growth potential for catalysis is still... 

Realisable potential The realisable potential represents the maximum potential that can be exploited up to a certain year considering dynamic realisation restrictions, such as maximum market growth rates and planning constraints, as well as political and societal drivers and assuming that sufficient economic incentives exist. The technical potential is an upper limit of the realisable potential. 

Although PEN is still a specialty resin when compared to PET, its improved properties potential ensures that considerable market growth will occur in the near future. This growth will stimulate increased commercial availability of the naphthalate diester and diacid monomers essential for numerous commercial applications. 

Market and environment parameters. The market parameters include application areas, sales volume, price, and growth potential. The environment parameters include environmental dispersion, transportation and transformation, areas of concentration, safety, health, and environmental impact. 

The free world market for cerium-oxide based polishing compounds is not large—approximately 4400 metric tons per year—, and we do not see a substantial growth potential despite the 11% annual growth in sales of spectacle lenses. The reason is twofold first, faster more efficient polishing compounds are available which can be used in slurry concentrations one-half that of a few years ago second, fully half the market for ophthalmic glass lenses has been captured by plastic lenses of CR-39 polymer. Cerium oxide is ineffective in polishing this material specially treated alumina or stannic oxide are used. 

According to a survey conducted by the Society of the Plastics Industry, among the 360 exhibitors at the 12th National Plastics Exposition, the automotive industry was placed in the No. 1 position as having the greatest growth potential of any major market. 

Its growth is close to GDP, the minimum rate to maintain significance as an industry over time. However, there is significant growth potential in the emerging markets, particularly China and South East Asia. 

China, a market with strong growth potential for the automotive industry, is also beginning to look at hybrid technology. Nevertheless, production at Volkswagen s Chinese venture will not begin until 2008, while large-scale production is not slated to start until 2010.30... 

However, it is in the possible future markets for methanol that this commodity s major growth potential lies. Figure 9 depicts methanols unique versatility in todays energy picture. 

Only a handful of providers are pursuing this approach. Two midsized CROs and several small CROs currently own and operate site networks. There are a number of criticisms of the hybrid SMO approach. Several industry observers have commented that project management and study conduct services require unique and distinct skill sets that cannot be integrated. Others argue that the hybrid SMO has been slow to catch on, because a conflict of interest exists when investigative sites are monitored by the same company that owns them. Several industry observers believe the hybrid SMO will be unable to pursue a sizable portion of the overall clinical grants market because it competes with traditional CROs that are reluctant to place studies there. Therefore, the hybrid SMO may have constrained growth potential. 

Fruit 1 14 shares of the market, growth areas include dairy and beef, with growth rates of approx. 53% and 47%, respectively. Processed foods, baby food and ready meals are also potential growth areas...
