The growth in awareness for masks, primarily in hospitals and industrial sectors, is expected to drive the face mask market during the forecast period. Face masks are essential elements of the infection-control strategy, primarily in healthcare facilities. Generally, two major types of face masks are used to prevent respiratory infection, such as surgical masks, sometimes referred to as face masks and respiratory masks. Both types of face masks are classified based on the type and size of infectious particles they can filter. Face masks covered in the global disposable face masks market are used to cover the nose and mouth to safeguard against contamination, infection, or exposure to potential viruses and foreign or potentially harmful elements in the surroundings. Although relatively healthcare personnel use face masks more often, they are also used by people with health concerns or breathing and lung-related conditions to protect against pollution, dust, or other potentially hazardous environments that can cause infections or breathing-related issues. People with asthma are also recommended to wear similar masks to avoid or reduce the chances of asthma attacks. N95 respirator masks are the most common particulate-filtering respirator masks, which meet the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) N95 classification of air filtration. Respirator masks are primarily recommended for use by HCPs. However, sometimes respirator masks are also being prescribed for people with chronic respiratory, cardiac, or other medical conditions that make breathing difficult.

Personal care ingredients are the raw materials which are used in the manufacturing of skin care products worldwide. These ingredients can be used in the skin care products as an anti-fungal agent, anti-ageing agent, skin conditioning agent, and others. They can also be classified as active and inactive ingredients. Active ingredients include anti-ageing agents, exfoliants, conditioning agents, and UV protecting agents whereas, inactive ingredients include surfactants, preservatives, colorants, and polymer ingredients. Rise in disposable incomes strengthened the purchasing power of consumers along with change in standard of living, which is expected to drive the growth of the personal care ingredients market during 2020-2027. In addition, increase in consumer awareness toward multi-purpose products fuel the growth of the market. However, side effects of chemical-based personal care products and stringent government regulations are the key factors hampering the growth of the market during the forecast period. Whereas, innovations in skin care products and rise in health awareness & increase in demand for personal care products are expected to create opportunities in the global personal care ingredients market during the analyzed timeframe.

Currently, the world is witnessing growing demand for low temperature co-fired ceramics, which is mainly due to the rising demand from the automotive sensors operating at harsh conditions. Also, there have been technological advancements in the electronics and computational industry. The miniaturization of electronics, followed by the demand for high computational speed, has produced harsh operating conditions for the electronic components. These conditions have consequently given rise to concerns such as heating, leading to the compromise in the performance of the gadgets. Therefore, researchers/industry professionals have had to reconsider the technological upgradations in tandem with good performance and paved way for the development of multilayer circuits or LTCC tapes. The primary factors leading to the demand for this technological innovation is increasing use of electronics in the automotive sensors, military and defense, aviation, and micro electro-mechanical sensors (MEMS), among others.

Composite materials are formed by combining a resin matrix system such as epoxy with a reinforcing fiber. The mixture of fiber and resin has superior properties, and is increasingly being used as replacement for comparatively heavy metal materials. The fiber bears much of the load in a composite material, and is the main contributor to the properties of the composite material. The resin allows moving load between fibers, preventing buckling and holding the materials together. The report on epoxy composite exclusively focuses on current market trends and future growth opportunities of various types of fibers such as glass, carbon, and others (natural fiber and aramid fiber). Based on end-use industry, the market is divided into aerospace & defense, automotive, electrical & electronics, wind energy, sporting goods, marine, piping, and others. Based on region, it is studied across North America, Europe, Asia- Pacific, and LAMEA. The manufacturers studied and profiled in the global epoxy composite market are Barrday Inc., Bhor Chemicals and Plastics Private Limited, Cytec Solvay Group, Hexcel Corporation, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Park Aerospace Corp., Sabancı Holding, SGL Carbon SE, Teijin Limited, and Toray Industries Inc.

Disposable gloves are widely used in medical and nonmedical applications to avoid cross-infection between caregivers and patients. Disposable gloves are utilized to avoid accidental contact to harmful infectious sites or areas. Various types of materials have been used in the manufacturing of disposable gloves, namely, natural rubber, nitrile, vinyl, neoprene, and others. This report focuses on disposable gloves used in medical and nonmedical purposes, including food, retail, and industrial for non-medical and examination, forensics, and surgeries in the medical category. The report also covers both powered and non-powdered variants. The report excludes the market for non-disposable gloves that comprise safety/non-disposable/leather gloves. The regional market for North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA has been studied, with respect to countries analyzed at regional level. The revenue from both local as well as global manufacturers has been considered during the analysis.

Geogrid is a type of geosynthetic material made from polymers such as polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, and others. Geogrid is increasingly used in the civil applications as a reinforcing or stabilizing material. Retaining walls, dams, steep slopes, and other structures are the areas of soil reinforcements where geogrid is used. It can be used for stabilizing material in the pavements of the roads, railroads, and other areas. In addition, geogrid can also be used as a separator layer reducing the inclusion of the material into a soft sub-grade. The global geogrid market is segmented into application and region. Depending on application, the geogrid market is categorized into road industry, railroad stabilizations, soil reinforcement, and others. Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Mining chemicals play a major role in the processing of mineral ores. The consumption of base metals (such as iron, steel, and aluminum) and precious metals (such as silver, gold, and platinum) increased steadily, due to their various applications in various industries. The metal mining processes require mining chemicals during the stage of processing the respective ores. With the increase in the consumption of these metals, mining activities for these metals have surged globally, especially in Canada and Mexico. Canada is a global leader in mining operations, with active production of more than 60 metals and minerals, and it is a major producer of primary aluminum, cobalt, diamond, gold, nickel, platinum group metals, salt, titanium concentrates, and uranium. In addition, Canada ranks among the top five countries in the global production of 14 major metals and minerals, such as first in potash production; second in uranium and niobium; third in cobalt, aluminum, tungsten, and platinum group metals; fourth in nickel, salt, sulfur, and titanium; and fifth in diamond, cadmium, and gold.
