Specialty chemicals are used for meeting specific purposes or for achieving a desired result when used in industrial applications. Most of the specialty chemicals that are used in small quantities in applications are priced at a premium, and companies offering them also offer technical and after-sales services to ensure proper use of the chemicals. Also, in contrast to commodity chemical manufacturers, specialty chemical manufacturers are much more flexible because of the continuously changing nature of raw materials, operating conditions, and enduser needs. The Global Specialty Chemicals market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.16 percent during the period 2013-2018. One of the major reasons for this is the rapidly expanding economies of developing countries. The increased production of consumer electronics, construction products, automobiles, and other consumer goods have resulted in the increased demand for specially formulated chemicals.

The Global Wipes market is expected to witness steady growth (at a 5.66 percent CAGR) during the period 2013-2018. North America led the global market in 2013 and accounted for a 40-42 percent share. In terms of product type, the Wet Wipes segment dominated the market, accounting for a 70 percent share the same year. Spunlace technology was the most popular technology used across the globe in 2013, with the Spunlace segment amounting to 51.3 percent of the Global Wipes market.

Polycarbonates are a group of thermoplastic polymers that are used in a wide range of products such as electrical and electronic components, automobiles, optical media products, and housewares. They are known for properties such as durability, strength, and lightness. Also, as they are less expensive than similar materials such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polycarbonates are preferred across various industries

Marine composites are materials used in the construction of off-shore structures and boat components to increase performance, decrease fuel consumption, and significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions. They are often used as alternatives to traditional materials such as aluminum and steel. Composites such as glass fiber-reinforced plastics and CFRP are currently being widely used in the manufacture of boats and other marine vessels. Marine composites are also used in subsea applications as protection structures for subsea wellheads and valves.

The Global Diaper market is expected to witness moderate growth during the period 2013-2018. The market witnessed a decent demand for baby diapers from the APAC region in 2013. The APAC region was followed by Europe, Latin America, North America, and the MEA region. The APAC region is expected to drive the demand for diapers, especially disposable and cloth diapers, during the forecast period. Overall, the Global Diaper market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.36 percent during the forecast period.

Textile chemicals are chemicals used in the manufacture of textiles that give the textiles specific performance, aesthetic, and functional requirements. Textile chemical products range from highly specialized chemicals, such as biocides, flame retardants, water repellents, and warp sizes, to quite simple commodity chemicals, such as emulsified oils and greases, starch, sulfonated oils, wax, and some surfactants.The Global Textile Chemicals market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.60 percent during the period 2013-2018. The APAC region was the leading consumer of textile chemicals with a market share of 54 percent in 2013, and was followed by the Americas and the EMEA region with market shares of 25 percent and 21 percent, respectively. In terms of leading countries in the market, China alone accounted for 41 percent of the global textile chemical consumption in 2013.
