The demand for paints and coatings additives is primarily driven by architectural coatings. This is due to the robust growth in construction activities from various nations in the Middle East. The demand for additives from architectural coatings account for more than 60% of the total Middle Eastern demand. Thus, the increasing production of paints and coatings is, in turn, propelling the growth of the market studied. Middle Eastern countries are known for their high-rise buildings and architecture. The regional market has bolstered constructional activities for hotel buildings and infrastructural activities for tourism.

Methane hydrate is an ice cage like structure in which methane gas is trapped. As per the estimates by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), one cubic meter of methane hydrate may contain 164 cubic meter of natural gas. Therefore, it is considered as a future source of energy. Methane hydrate is formed under seabed and is formed under high pressure and low temperature conditions. During the process of methane hydrate extraction, the hydrate ice cubes dissociate, pressure is decreased and methane gas from hydrate escapes, which can be risky. The commercialization of methane hydrate is under process; and therefore, the methane hydrate extraction market is studied based on the successful extraction undertaken. As per the United States Geological Survey (USGS), as of 2018 the overall available methane hydrate reserves include 20,000 trillion cubic meters of the reserves. If these reserves can be harvested efficiently, they could meet the global energy requirements for the coming 1,000 years. In 2017, China and Japan have successfully extracted methane hydrate from seabed after couple of tests conducted from 2012. China and Japan have respectively extracted 430 and 260 thousand cubic meter methane hydrate in 2017; although these countries are far away from the industrial scale production.

Viscose is an organic liquid produced from wood pulp. The processing of VSF imparts it with special characteristics, such as high strength and low moisture retention, which are useful in the textile and apparel industries. Moreover, these fibers are best suited for the highly-advanced machines in the textile industry. Apparel is one of the oldest and largest export industries in the world. It is also one of the fastest growing global industries, as most developing nations manufacture textiles for the international textile and apparel market.

Wood coating is widely used in the protection and refinement of wood or wood-made structures. Protecting wooden surfaces helps to increase their utilization properties. Moreover, the use of wood coating enhances the visual cues of wooden object, thereby helping in marketing of the product. Depending on the technology used to manufacture the wood coating, various types of wood coatings are available in the market such as varnish, stains, water-based coatings, and oil finishes.
