Packaging is a relevant aspect for products catering to a specific and/or wide range of markets. The packaging of a product is no longer associated with just protecting the product from an exterior negative condition that could cause loss or damage. Over the last two decades, packaging has evolved significantly with almost all brands tending to utilize packaging as an aggressive marketing tool to convey their message to customers. Considering the relevant characteristic features of packaging, the need for sacks that can cater to the requisite purposes becomes essential. One such relevant market for sacks used in packaging is the Global Industrial Sacks Market.

An electric vacuum cleaner can be defined as an electrically operated device that removes the dust and debris and other solid or liquid materials from the floor or another surface area by an airflow created by a vacuum developed within the unit by an electrically powered vacuum generator or fan. Globally, the demand for industrial vacuum cleaners has been increasing rapidly in the last few decades due to the following factors:

The attractiveness of Libya's infrastructure market to those international firms which had begun to return following the fall of Muammar Gaddafi was reversed over the course of 2014, with the industry contracting by 25% in 2015. We forecast that in 2018 the market will contract by a further 11.1%. Doing business in Libya will be extremely risky, given the presence of two rival governments and the increasing threat of violence from a large number of terrorist groups. As of end 2017, Libya's rivalling factions are no closer to a peace deal, and risks of clashes between eastern and western militias are elevated. We do not expect any major improvements to doing business in the country over 2017 or 2018. Contracts are often interrupted owing to the lack of a central administration and construction is frequently suspended owing to outbreaks of violence.

North African cuisine contains many elements of African and Mediterranean cultures, with other factors shaping food consumption preference, including trading networks and the region's colonial heritage. Given the prevalence of Islam in the region, pork is marginalised; instead, lamb and fish are widely consumed. Couscous is also part of the staple diet across the region. While governments across the region have traditionally supported consumption through subsidies, Morocco has put an end to these policies in recent years, in a bid to reduce budget shortfalls. For now, food subsidies remain in place in Algeria, although the low oil price environment will continue to constrain government revenues and could result in subsidy cuts over the coming years.

Demand for new vehicles will remain weak in 2019, given the uncertain political backdrop, high unemployment and a weak dinar, although the outlook may be somewhat brighter for used car sales and cheaper imports.

Road transport accounts for nearly all the freight movement around Kenya, with rail and air transport accounting for only a small proportion of the mix. This dominance is likely to become more marked over time as oil prices remain low and investment in infrastructure goes some way to reducing congestion and increasing efficiency. The role of air and rail will diminish slightly in the country over the next few years, despite some investment leading to growth in the two sectors. With much of the country's trade carried out with neighbouring African territories, roads are the most efficient way of cross-border travel. Key trade indicators, such as agricultural products, manufactured goods and raw materials, are all set to see growth in the medium term, which will account for growth in the demand for road transport.

Based on the route of administration, the medical foods market is segmented into oral and enteral. Based on the product type, the market is segmented into pills, powders, and others. On the basis of application, the market is divided into diabetic neuropathy, Attention- Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), depression, Alzheimer’s disease, and nutritional deficiency. Geographically, the market is also segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.

Medical tubing market has been segmented on the basis of polymer type, application, and region. On the basis of polymer type, the market has been segmented into silicone, polyolefins, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, fluoropolymers, and others. On the basis of application, the market has been segmented into bulk disposable tubing, drug delivery systems, catheters, biopharmaceutical laboratory equipment, and others (include urology tubing, orthodontic tubing, and feeding tubes).

The petrochemicals sector is dominated by state-owned Pemex's petrochemical subsidiary, Pemex Petroquimica (PPQ). Indelpro, a joint venture (JV) between Mexico-based Alfa Group and Basell Lyondell, has a petrochemical complex at Altamira with 260,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of propylene capacity feeding 590,000tpa of polypropylene (PP), representing the country's entire PP production capacity. In 2016, Braskem Idesa's Ethylene XXI added 1.05mn tpa ethylene capacity, 750,000tpa highdensity polyethylene (HDPE) capacity and 300,000tpa low-density polyethylene (LDPE) capacity. No further expansions are expected in Latin America in the next five years, as proposals for new facilities in Brazil, Venezuela and Colombia have fallen through. Three Mexican private firms produce polyvinyl chloride (PVC): Primex, which operates a 350,000tpa plant at Altamira and 45,000tpa facility at Tlalnepantla; Mexichem, with a 42,000tpa plant at Tlaxcala and a 30,000tpa plant at Texmelucan; and Policyd, which operates a 200,000tpa plant at Altamira and a 45,000tpa plant at Tlalnepantla. Polystyrene (PS) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) capacities are owned by private companies, while Pemex subsidiaries control all of Mexico's polyethylene (PE) and aromatics capacities.

Our forecasts are positive for the Mexico economy after the presidential election of Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) and as the USMCA or NAFTA 2.0 has finally been signed. It is however, yet to to be approved by each country's legislation and will not be implemented until 2019. This gives some relief to the economy after months of uncertainty on the outcome of trade negotiations with US and Canada. Over the longer term, however, we expect the economic impact on consumers, and effects on supply chains, will be relatively minimal, comparable to the status quo of a continuation of NAFTA. Rising real wages have lifted domestic demand and been a key driver of growth in recent months. However, inflationary pressures are rising and the Banco de Mexico, central bank of Mexico, has raised interest rates in order to protect the currency, as a weaker peso places upward pressure on prices.
