U.S. consumption of carbon black in 1988 by various market sectors is shown in Table 6. About 90% of total consumption is in the mbber industry and 69% for tires. About 10% is consumed for other automotive products and 11% for mbber products unrelated to the automotive industry. The automotive industry accounts for 79% of consumption. Pigment appHcations account for about 10% of consumption, most of this for plastics and printing inks. Western Europe consumes 74% in tires and other automotive products and almost 20% in other industrial mbber products. Pigment appHcations in Western Europe and Japan are 5—6% of consumption. 

Commercial BMI Resins. Since the late 1960s, bismaleimide resins have been commercially available. The first company in the marketplace was Rhc ne Poulenc Chimie, Erance. Several others, Technochemie, Germany CIBA GEIGY, Switzerland DSM, The Netherlands, BASE, West Germany Mitsubishi Gas Chemicals and MitsuiToatsu, both of Japan Reichhold and Polyorganics from the United States and Shell Chemical Company, United States (through the acquisition of Technochemie by Deutsche Shell AG), followed. Some of them lost interest in this speciaUty market sector. Table 13 indicates the BMI resins available at the end of 1992. No reference is made to prepreg systems available from various sources. A complete Hst of available products and information on any particular material should be obtained from the suppHers. 

The losses that companies can face are influenced by many factors including market sector, sales turnover and product liability history. It is not easy to make a satisfactory estimate of the product liability costs associated with quality of non-conformance, and... 

The chemical industry represents a 455-billion-dollar-a-year business, with products ranging from cosmetics, to fuel products, to plastics, to pharmaceuticals, health care products, food additives, and many others. It is diverse and dynamic, with market sectors rapidly expanding, and in turmoil in many parts of the world. Across these varied industry sectors, basic unit operations and equipment are applied on a daily basis, and indeed although there have been major technological innovations to processes, many pieces of equipment are based upon a foundation of engineering principles developed more than 50 years ago. 

Both thermoplastics and thermosets can reap the benefit of fibre reinforcement although they have developed in separate market sectors. This situation has arisen due to fundamental differences in the nature of the two classes of materials, both in terms of properties and processing characteristics. 

Represents more than 400 manufacturers of polymers, additives, and machinery as well as all types of plastics processors and fabricators. Membership is divided into 15 Business Groups sharing four Market Sector Groups. 

In the world today there is there is a clear trend in almost every market sector for companies and organizations to focus their activities on enhancing core-competencies and build national or global market brands to advance their respective market leadership positions. As a result, many noncore activities are often subcontracted to a service company rather than being undertaken by the organization s own employees. 

NOTE The same polymer chemistries employed in the BW deposit control treatment market sector are also made available to other markets such as waste water, cooling water, potable water production from brackish or saline supplies, metal finishing, paint and coatings, electronics, pulp and paper, and more. 

The trick is to find the precise way to use and apply the polymer in a particular market sector to add value to a process or to produce cost-effective benefits. Thus, any particular polymer chemistry may be made available to the market in several different derivative forms, in several strengths, and at various prices to suit the particular market conditions. 

Every water treatment service company has several dual-function or multifunction programs in their BW product range based on chelant, phosphate, or polymer. Which of these particular chemistries takes the lead position depends on the type of waterside problems likely to be encountered (in some ways this is related to the particular market sector) and the positioning of the company within the overall BW treatment marketplace. 

Over the last 5 or 6 years there has been a marked increase in the number of companies implementing an ELN system within drug discovery. There has also been a corresponding increase in the number of companies providing commercial applications in this market sector (see Section 9.6 for more details). Initially this adoption of ELNs was done despite the problem of e-signatures, but lately more companies are moving to a fully electronic process, with the associated benefits that this proffers. 

Whilst the acids and many of their derivatives currently find niche applications in the market sectors identified above, factors related to price, volume of supply and consistency have all limited commercial viability. In the longer term, reduced costs and improved consistency through improved growing and harvesting techniques, coupled with an increased requirement for biodegradability, will increase demand for fatty acids. 

The Promochem Group was the first international specialist supplier of certified reference materials (CRMs) and pharmaceutical reference substances used in environmental, medical and trace element analysis. Their experience provides a viewpoint that echoes, reinforces and expands on many of the trends discussed above (Jenks 1997). From the middle of the 1980 s, sales of CRM by Promochem increased between 10 % and 20 % annually, depending on the market sector and application. Since then National and International Metrology Institutes, such as the now privatized U.K. Laboratory of the Government Chemist (LGC), the European and U.S. Pharmacopoeias, the E.U. IRMM and others have recognized that efficient distribution of RMs, backed by available technical support, is as important as production and certification. Thus, they have moved to spread their influence outside their national origins. The Web and e-commerce will continue to grow as major facilitators of better information dissemination and supply of CRMs.

Japan played a major role in the new range of automobiles which included the sports utility vehicles (SUVs) and their variations. Different market sectors required different types of cars. These ideas in Japan spread to the United States and Europe and the car became a lifestyle accessory.

As a consequence of these concerns, many countries have now either banned the use of CCA outright or have severely limited its use to specific products or market sectors. Even in the latter case, there can be no doubt that an outright ban will follow in time.

Aronnd 10% of all new substances registered are nsed for the purposes of plastics processing. A further approximately 10% of new substance registrations are in each case for (i) dyes (especially for the textile industry) and (ii) photochemicals (photographic industiy and toners in the paper industry) and also (iii) cosmetics and perfumes. The majority of relevant substance innovations appear to take place in this relatively narrow market sector, while here too a relevant proportion of process iimovations could be in processing (with the exception of cosmetics and perfumes). 

The total use of advanced composites is expected to grow to around 250-300 million by 1996. The market sectors for advanced polymer composites are 40% aerospace, 30% recreational, 20% industrial, 4% transport and 6% others in 1987. The fastest growing area is aerospace which, according to actual forecasts, will use up to 65% of the total advanced polymer composites production in 1996. 

The commercial development and sale of water treatment devices that employ magnetic fields to prevent scale occurrence has been part of the water treatment marketplace all around the world since its earliest days. Certainly for more than 40 to 50 years, magnetic devices have been regularly tested and compared with other water treatment methods, notably chemicals, and, although irrefutable, documented evidence of their beneficial effect on industrial water systems still seems sadly lacking, they have enjoyed a profitable share of the cooling water, boiler water, and other market sectors. 

In the water treatment industry, the low entry-barriers and fragmentation and assimilation market forces (small, breakaway companies are regularly formed by ex-employees of large corporations, and some survive and flourish to eventually become targets for future acquisition by other large corporations) permit potentially large numbers of companies to compete within the various market sectors on a seemingly equal basis.
