Organic Solar Cells Market - an Economic Solution to Sustainable Solar Power Generation


The global organic solar cells market, also commonly referred to organic-based photovoltaics, is a highly developing and rapidly growing market. In only a matter of a year, the market has made an impressive shift from the realm of fundamental research at university levels into industry-level production.

Use of photovoltaic cells for harvesting energy directly from sunlight is considered one of the most promising ways of addressing mounting global energy needs. Solar cells constitute one of the cleanest ways of harvesting energy, since they use a source of freely available renewable energy and causes minimal detrimental effect on the environment by not adding to the level of atmospheric emissions at all.

Provided that solar cells can be made economically competitive against traditional energy sources such as fossil fuels, the large-scale manufacturing of solar cells will offer a reliable source of sustainable energy that could account for a substantial portion of our energy needs. Usage of organic materials such as various novel polymers for fabricating solar cells is a good way of reducing the manufacturing – and thus final – costs of solar cells. The use of organic substances for manufacturing solar cells makes the manufacturing process potentially easier than conventional manufacturing processes using silicon or other such materials. Organic solar cells also have one more important advantage over the conventional solar cells – they can be easily molded into different shapes and colored in various ways, making them preferable when the application focuses more on design and flexibility and less on efficacy.

Shale Gas Market - Brief Research Report

As the focus on unconventional gas sources intensifies, the global shalegas market will be the key beneficiary, finds a latest report published by Transparency Market Research. According to the report, the production of shale gas worldwide stood at 10,138.2 Bcf in 2012, and will exhibit a 7.9% CAGR from 2013 to 2019, by which year it will stand at 17,201.6 Bcf.The report, titled ‘Global Shale Gas Market - Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2013 - 2019,’ states that measures to address the depletion of conventional gas reservoirs has prompted sizeable investments in shale gas exploration. The key challenges standing in the way of the market’s growth are the high cost of shale gas exploration and extraction and concerns about surface water being contaminated.

These efforts have already borne fruit with a shale gas revolution being seen in the U.S., which has put the country firmly on the path to becoming a net exporter of natural gas by 2017, marking an evident change from its status as a modest net importer. In the hope to emulate the U.S.’s success, countries such as China have also pumped in billions of dollars’ worth of investments into shale gas exploration.As of 2014, however, the U.S. was the leader in both production of and revenue from shale gas. The landscape of the global shale gas market, however, could likely see a shift in the coming years with many more countries showing massive potential for shale gas production with the discovery of new reserves worldwide.

As is the case with natural gas, shale gas too finds various applications, which include: power generation, industrial, residential, commercial, transportation, and others. With each of these applications needing more power with every passing year, the demand for shale gas from all application areas is expected to rise steadily.According to TMR’s findings, in 2012, unconventional gas constituted 44% of all technically recoverable gas. Shale gas comprised two-thirds of all unconventional sources. About 60% of all conventional gas resources occur in Eastern Europe and Eurasia and these regions hold 16.5% of all unconventional gas sources. An appreciable part of the remaining reserves of technically recoverable unconventional gas occurs in the U.S. and China, both of whom are currently net gas importers. The report states that although massive shale gas reserves exist in Europe, the stringent regulatory scenario will prevent the shale gas market from exhibiting dramatic growth.

Lubricant Additives Market to Reach 4,934.61 kilo tons by 2020, Propelled by Rising Demand for Antioxidants


The global lubricantadditives market had weighed in at 4,093.45 kilo tons in 2013. According to a market research report, it is expected to progress at a CAGR of 2.66% between 2014 and 2020 and reach 4,934.61 kilo tons by 2020.

In terms of products, the segments in the global lubricant additives market include viscosity index improvers, dispersants, antioxidants, detergents, and pour point depressants. Other minor additives in this category include extreme pressure additives, metal deactivators, anti-wear additives, and corrosion inhibitors.The global lubricant additives market was dominated by dispersants in 2013, in terms of volume. This segment accounted for over 20% of the market at the time.

At the same time, the report suggests that antioxidants will be the fastest-growing product segment in the global lubricant additives market for the given forecast period. This is attributed to the greater levels of oxidation that are occurring in complex modern machinery due to the lubricants applied.

The report also states that viscosity index improvers are expected to generate a higher share in the global lubricant additives market over the given timeline owing to an increase in VI improvers in Asia Pacific.One of the major promoters of the low viscosity lubricants is the increasingly stringent regulatory pressure imposed on the global lubricant additives market over harmful emissions. For instance, the carbon dioxide emission levels in Europe are expected to reduce from the current 130 grams per km, to 95 grams per km, by the end of 2021, and the Europe lubricant additives market will play a crucial role in supporting this.

At the same time, the global lubricant additives market will also be restrained by the lengthening of time between drain intervals. Improvements in the chemicals used by the global lubricant additives market have allowed consumers to increase the duration for which they stay in the vehicle before being drained off and replaced.

The top companies in the global lubricant additives market are Tianhe Chemicals Group Limited, The Lubrizol Corporation, Chevron Oronite Company LLC., Infineum International Limited, and NewMarket Corporation. The competition between the key players of the market is high and each player has adopted several research and development efforts in order to achieve a greater market share. Due to this, it has become difficult for a new entrant to prosper largely in the global lubricant additives market, as there are few prospective investors in new players for the production facilities as well as research and development efforts. As such, most of the smaller players resort to producing specific additives, while the top players are the only ones left with the resources to maintain a diverse portfolio of products.
