India Pigments Market is expected to reach over INR 20,000 Crore by the year ending 2022: Ken Research

Indian pigment manufacturers are expanding their production capacities, given their low cost advantage with increasing focus on HPP and other specialized pigments such as metallic and pearlescent, used in automotives and other industrial coatings.
Pigment manufacturers in India, especially the organized sector players have started to focus on backward integration to gain a competitive advantage over others.
The growing trend of using aluminum based pigments in India has promoted the development of superior quality coating solutions, intense colors and new metallic shades which are further expected to boost the demand for metallic pigments in automotive and construction sector.

Surging pigment end-user expectations in terms of price and quality consciousness has forced manufacturers operating within the organized sector to invest more on R&D in order to develop both organic as well inorganic pigment emulsions within the regulatory framework and reasonable pricing in the coming years. Additionally, they have been opting for backward integration model therefore, procuring raw material in advance and producing in accordance with customer needs. As a result, it will also help them to reduce their overall cost of manufacturing.
Increasing consumer preference towards aesthetic finishes in passenger cars coupled with growth in the country’s automobile industry is further estimated to generate additional demand for metallic and pearlescent effect pigments towards paints and coating applications in India. Small and niche players can focus towards this product type owing to growing trend of adopting high performance organic pigments and the continuous displacement of heavy toxic metal pigments such as lead, chromium and others.
Analysts at Ken Research in their latest publication “India Pigments Market Outlook to 2022 – By Organic Pigments (Azo Pigments – Yellow, Red, Blue and Orange; Phthalocyanine – Green and Blue and HPP – Red, Orange and Yellow) and Inorganic Pigments (Titanium Oxide, Iron Oxide, Chrome Oxide and Others) and CPC Blue Crude Market” believe that focusing on specialty and high performance pigments, adopting for backward integration model to expand business operations, investing towards reducing adverse environmental effect, expansions through mergers and acquisitions, extending product/business portfolio, focusing towards eco-friendly/organic pigments and rising opportunities for non-toxic inorganic pigments will create a positive impact on the Indian pigments industry.
India market is expected to register a positive CAGR of 5.5% for pigments market during the forecast period 2017-2022E.

The furniture industry today is one of the leading industries that incorporate technology in their products. Today wireless charging has grown more than ever. More and more devices are coming with built-in wireless charging and others with accessories to allow wireless charging. Furniture Market Research Reports Consulting highlights the fact that customers today are demanding furniture that is innovative whilst being comfortable.

Wireless charging furniture has been a result of technology being incorporated into furniture. Such furniture is mainly being developed to cater to the wireless charging feature of modern cellular phones such as Apple i-Phone X and Samsung Galaxy S9 among others. There have been recent developments in this respect-

1.      London based Fonesalesman has developed FurniQi. Which is a wireless charging side table that aims to function efficiently while still looking elegant. The simple bamboo design features a Qi wireless charging spot marked with a subtle laser engraving capable of charging a range of phones and devices. It also has an optional audible notification, making the table simple to use when the lights are off.

Glass Beer Bottles to Dominate Asian Beer Bottle Market-Ken Research


Beer is one of the most popular alcoholic drinks consumed in Asia. It is also the oldest beverage prepared by fermentation of grains. Many variants of beer are available in Asian market with varying tastes and flavours. Modernization and increase in disposable incomes has led to increased consumption of beer which indirectly increased the market for beer bottles. Beer in Asia is usually packed in metal cans, glass bottles, draft, other packing such as aluminium bottles, plastic bottles, and refill glass bottles. Now-a-days, beer packing is done majorly in cans and glass bottles. The cans and glass bottles have increased in volume, but, cans occupy a major share from the past few years compared to glass bottles. Almost all consumers demand for quality, natural and clean labelled beer. Asian consumers care about maintenance of glass bottles that are 100% recyclable. Beer consumption growth rate has increased rapidly due to excellent demand and protective qualities of glass packaging.
According to the study “Asia Beer Bottle Industry Situation and Prospects Research report”, almost all the beer bottles vary in size and shape, however, brown or green glass is the commonly used material which reduces spoilage from light, especially ultraviolet rays. The widely established alternatives to glass containers for beer in retail sales are beverage cans and aluminium bottles. The unique properties of glass beer bottles guarantee fullest enjoyment. Glass beer bottles optimally preserve the beer’s carbon dioxide content for a longer time, ensuring that the taste and quality of the beer remains the same. Glass beer bottles are classified into various types such as amber (brown) glass beer bottles, white flint (clear) glass beer bottles, green glass beer bottles and other types. Beer is easily spoilt when exposed to light, heat and oxygen. Cans are another alternative for beer packaging because they do not let in any light and are completely machine sealed for better storage. The standard brown-hued glass bottle keeps out UV rays, but doesn’t prevent all light. Cans are more portable as it is easy to get the beverage cooled faster and easy to handle while travelling. Cans are more often used in craft beer packaging in recent years, but glass bottles are still the most common traditional packaging format of beer. Labelling a glass bottle is easy as per beer industry standards compare to labelling on cans which is a logistical challenge for all the manufacturers.
Consumer’s first choice for reliable, healthy, sustainable and premium beer products will continue to keep glass bottle packing in strong demand among all brands that hope to meet the expectations and make a distinction of their products on the shelves in Asian markets. The growth in beverages is likely to remain tough, with majority of the beer brands embracing glass bottle packaging to meet consumer’s expectations. At the same time, PET bottles attracted the Asian market for beverages. The PET bottle manufacturers manufacture bottles with detailed specifications for storage of beer. Changing or switching to PET beer bottles can witness more outstanding results in Asia.
Majority of the manufacturers will benefit in terms of cost reduction, lower energy consumption and fewer harmful emissions during transportation. Asian countries are expected to contribute to the consumption of PET bottles for the storage of beer in the next few years. The leading players in Asian beer bottles are O-I, Ardagh Group, Beatson Clark, Orora, Wiegand-Glas, Encirc Glass, Hillebrandt Glas, Systempack, All American Containers, Encore Glass, Sisecam, Huaxing glass, SuoKun Glass Grou, Yantai Changyu Glass, Jintai boli, Yantai NBC Glass Packaging, SHENZHEN TONGCHAN GROUP, Sino-Belgian Beer (Suzhou), ShangHai Misa Glass, Taiwan Glass and Sichuan Shubo (Group).
Modernization, consumption rate, high disposable incomes, and increased consumption by younger generation, along with heavy taxation, legal regulations, and health issues of beer consumption are slowing the growth of beer and beer bottles market. Various innovative products, such as flavoured and crafted beer are demanding for imported beer along with glass beer bottles. The beer bottle market is based on the product type, category, and packing. However, the glass bottles market is expected to grow at a steady rate over the next few years competing with PET bottle market. Asia’s beer metal cans may anticipate a second highest growth due to flexibility to handle which will witness a massive growth in terms of volume sales compared to volume sales of glass beer bottles.

The major ingredient in barbecue sauces and rubs is tomato which is rich in anti-oxidant content possessing anti-cancer properties. Barbecue sauces and rubs are used at home cooking as well as in commercial cooking such as restaurants and hotels.

Modernization has made Asian people rely on the readymade food products such as barbecue marinades, rubs and sauces encouraging a drastic growth in this sector. Almost all the available barbecue sauce enhances the flavour of the food without hampering the nutritional value which is an added advantage of using ready to use barbecue sauce. Barbecue sauces are available in the low-fat form which is attracting health conscious consumers.

Convergence Of Machine Learning With Education Sector Market Outlook : Ken Research


Education Business Review suggests that the machine learning in education sector is expected to grow at a CAGR of 46.7%, globally. Education with traditional methods is an outdated process that requires extensive human effort from both course instructors as well as students. The instructors need to prepare teaching materials, manually grade students’ homework, and provide feedback to the students on their learning progress. Students, on the other hand, typically go through an extremely burdensome “one-size-fits-all” learning process that is not personalized to their abilities, needs, and learning context. Education industry is moving away from traditional book learning techniques that do not reflect the complex reality to more immersive methodology involving all the students who tend to learn and grasp concepts at different speeds. Education industry has been revolutionized by introduction of the concept of machine learning. The use of digital books and adaptive learning allows for a much more tailored and customizable learning experience because teachers have the data on what students are exactly consuming and how they’re coming up with what they have to learn.
The use of this technology can help institutions to make student path predictions. Machine learning shall analyze the repetitive actions of the students and helps institutions understand the problem being faced by the student and if immediate action is required on the student. For instance Market Research Reports for Education reveals that if a student is facing problems in writing then the machine shall help the teacher understand how grave the situation is and whether the student will be able to overcome this problem with immediate action or with proper time and attention. The teachers shall not have to undergo tedious grading mechanism and can devote adequate time to important activities. With the introduction of machines into the grading mechanism, the chances of biasness towards any student are eliminated. The machine can analyze the current curriculum along with the student’s performance and suggest changes in the curriculum if any are actually needed. Not only this, it can even provide insights as to the changes in teaching mechanism or even introduction of newer more better methods. Machine Learning has the potential of organizing the content and curriculums in a better way, as it can analyze what works best and which concepts are understood better with certain techniques. As a result, the efficiency of education grows significantly and the students are happy because they get to learn important things in a way that they are comfortable with.
Machine learning software’s are being developed by many companies and startups around the world. Some major startups working in this segment are Querium Coporation (US), Metacog (UK), Bridge U (UK), Volley Labs (US) and Symbolabs (Israel). Symbolab’s machine learning algorithms understand the context and meaning of the queries to assist to provide a much better response to the queries.
With a high growth rate this technology shall witness huge growth in the coming 10 years because of developments in both machine learning and artificial intelligence. Machine learning in education is making it possible for people everywhere to access a wide variety of information to better educate them from an early age. It can be adapted into smart toys for children and be integrated into platforms for older kids to prepare for college. Machine learning is disrupting the education industry by changing the way we access education information.
