Polymer Products to Overtake Balsa Products Due to More Advanced Properties: Ken Research


Balsa is one of the fastest growing lightweight wood species which is native to South America. Majority of the balsa wood used in Europe is commercially harvested from plantations. Due to its fast growth, the wood density is very low, making balsa the lightest commercial timber available. Balsa wood is used in many industrial applications such as aerospace, defense, as renewable energy, marine, rail and road transport facilities. Few major drivers supporting the growth of balsa wood market in Europe are the booming wind turbine industries, growing defense activities, growth in aerospace industry, expanding marine sectors, growing demand of weight saving composite to increase the efficiency of land transport. The other properties of balsa wood are strength, versatility, high impact strength, good sound and thermal insulation, excellent fatigue resistance and a wide operating temperature range which are added advantages compared to other materials. Balsa is botanically termed as Ochroma Pyramidale is the lightest commercial timber available in European market. Based on the appearance of grain in wood, they are categorized as grain A, gain B and grain C types. Grain B type of balsa wood is extensively used and accounts for the largest market share in Europe. Grain B segment is used for all-purpose balsa items. Balsa wood possesses commercial importance due to its exceptional lightweight and insulating properties. 

According to the study “Europe Balsa Wood Industry Situation and Prospects Research report”, balsa wood is used as a core material in structural sandwich panels, in wind turbine blades to boats and aircraft. The wood is spongy in texture which makes it light and soft. Balsa wood is used in making makeshift pens for calligraphy, used in laminates together with glass-reinforced plastic fiberglass for making high-quality balsa surfboards, ship decks, building boats such as pleasure crafts. The leading vendors in Europe’s balsa wood industry are 3A Composites (Switzerland), Gurit (Spain) and DIAB International AB (Sweden). Geographically, Europe balsa wood industry is spread across Germany, Russia, UK, France, Italy and other regions.

It was observed that there is less demand for balsa wood but will witness a gradual growth over the next few years due to the increasing demand for lightweight and durable wood in marine, aircraft and wind energy industries. Europe accounts for a largest market share due to the presence of large number of balsa wood processors, cheap labor cost and increasing applications. There is a heavy competition from polymers which are durable and convenient to use, which may restrain the growth of European balsa wood market in the next few years.

Other than agricultural needs, azadirachtin is also used in personal care products, deworming products and others.

Azadirachtin is a botanical pesticide or bio-pesticide that is safe for humans and other mammals living on Earth. It is a secondary metabolite present in neem tree seeds. Azadirachtin is a yellowish powder extracted from the neem seed kernels and is used for management of agriculturally important pests, after extracting neem oil. Pesticide azadirachtin belongs to tetracyclic triterpenoid compounds and is recognized worldwide as a broad-spectrum insecticide. The pesticide has high efficiency, low toxicity, easy bio-degradation and fewer residues. Azadirachtin is used to prevent more than 400 pests of 10 orders in agriculture, forestry, warehousing and health. Due of its special effect on lepidoptera and coleoptera there is no harm to humans, animals and environment.

Azadirachtin is a naturally occurring substance that belongs to an organic molecule class called tetranortriterpenoids. It controls the process of insect metamorphosis in agricultural farms by stopping insect's or pests life cycle. Residual of azadirachtin insecticide is evident on crops for 7 to 10 days or longer. Azadirachtin is used to control whiteflies, aphids, thrips, fungus gnats, caterpillars, beetles, mushroom flies, mealy bugs, leaf miners, gypsy moths and others on food, greenhouse crops, ornamentals and turf. Azadirachtin is harmless to spiders, butterflies, and insects such as bees that pollinate crops and trees, ladybugs that consume aphids and wasps that act as parasites on various agricultural crops.

Europe azadirachtin industry is witnessing a double digit growth over the past years due to more consumption in agricultural sector. The affordability of azadirachtin bio-pesticide and increasing sales within Europe’s azadirachtin market has witnessed a continuing growth. There is an increasing demand for natural and organic bio pesticides in European agricultural sector due to the rise in awareness about the use of chemical-free and less toxic pesticides. There is a huge demand for efficient bio pesticides and the increase in stringent regulations on the use of toxic chemical-based pesticides is driving the azadirachtin industry. Moreover, it was observed that there is an increasing demand for food security with the availability of agricultural land that propels the growth of azadirachtin industry. Europe accounts for a major share in azadirachtin industry. Rise in investments in R&D activities are expected to pose lucrative opportunities in European azadirachtin industry over the next few years.
