he demand for the household plastic in Qatar is high as the market is estimated to reach at USD 84.19 million with the highest per capita consumption in the GCC region. The major reason for the high demand of household products is the large, foreign working class population in the country. The national population of Qatar is just 12% compared to the expatriates. This has been a trend in the Qatar for the past decade. There are more than 1.9 million migrant workers in Qatar – about 90% of the country’s total population, according to the Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics. Most are from South and Southeast Asian countries, including India, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Bangladesh. The growing working class in Qatar due to the rapid expansion of Construction industry means that the demand for plastic products will increase, due to cheaper plastic products, temporary stay of workers and their lower income.

我们估计，一个 1200 人规模，240 万套的全钢工厂，相对于国内而言：人力成本节省在 0.5-0.8 亿左右；电力及能源成本基本相当；天然橡胶等原材料采购优势被合成橡胶、炭黑、助剂等进口配套等抵消；水泥建材等基础材料与国内相当。

Plastics additives represent one of the most pervasive raw materials that are essential in the manufacture of various plastics. Growing demand for plastics, coupled with various specialty applications, is expected to further drive the additives demand over the forecast period. The upstream sector of the plastic industry provides raw materials for making plastic products. Crude oil is extracted from the ground, and goes through a distillation process in a naphtha cracker plant. This process refines feedstock or monomers in the form of petrochemicals. Around 2.4-4% of all distillation products in upstream production are further refined for producing monomers, to be used in all types of plastics and packaging.

The Indian adhesives and sealants market (henceforth referred to as the market studied, unless specified otherwise) was valued at USD 1,019.92 million in 2018. This market is expected to reach USD 1,911.82 million by 2024, recording a CAGR of 11.17% during the years 2019 to 2024 (henceforth referred to as the forecast period). In terms of volume, India adhesives market stood at 343.20 kilo metric ton in 2018, and it is estimated to reach 603.75 kilo metric ton in 2024, recording a CAGR of 10.16% during the forecast period. One of the major factors driving the growth of the market studied is the increasing demand from the packaging industry. The growth of automotive production in the country has also majorly contributed to the growth of the market.

塑料是20世纪初研发出来的新型材料，在20世纪50年代成为一个新兴行业并得到快速发展，80年代时已被广泛应用于多个领域，如航空、汽车、日用家电、日用品、包装、建材及医疗器材等。但是废旧塑料伴随塑料行业的快速发展而大量产生，由于塑料制品在自然环境下降解非常缓慢，直接焚烧会产生大量的有害气体，给社会带来环境污染等诸多问题，所以废旧塑料再生利用越来越成为我国资源再生利用和环境保护事业的一个重要方面。塑料再生主要是对废旧塑料加工处理，重新得到塑料原料。相比纸、金属及其他材料再生行业而言，塑料再生行业刚刚起步，属于资源再生领域的“80后”，但塑料再生却也扮演着“生力军”的重要角色。

Disposable gloves are widely used in medical and nonmedical applications to prevent cross-infection between caregivers and patients. Moreover, they are utilized to inhibit accidental contact with harmful infectious sites or areas. Various types of materials are used in the manufacturing of disposable gloves, including natural rubber, nitrile, vinyl, neoprene, and others.

Thin-film photovoltaic module is considered to be a breakthrough in solar technology, and is rapidly increasing its share in the solar power sector. The thin-film (TF) solar panels consist of solar cells with light absorbing layers, which are more than 350 times smaller than a standard silicon panel. They are considered to be the lightest PV cells, owing to their narrow design and efficient semiconductor built into the cells.

Construction, mining, and agriculture are the main industries that use heavy-duty tires for their machineries. The sales of heavy-duty tires are directly related to the sales and replacement of vehicles in the aforementioned industries. Machinery usage in farming has considerably grown over the years, in all parts of the world. The introduction of internal combustion engines and tractors as a power source has revolutionized the agriculture sector, by covering large agricultural areas in short time. Labor-saving technologies, like harvesters and tractors, are adopted to expand farm operations. Increased liberalization would radically reinforce a structural evolution, resulting in increased adoption of advanced agricultural machinery tools in the agricultural operations.
