Polyisobutylene (PIB) market has been segmented on the basis of product, application, and region. Chemicals including petroleum ether, isobutene, and aluminum chloride are used for the production of polyisobutylene. On the basis of product, PIB is categorized into high molecular weight, medium molecular weight, and low molecular weight polyisobutylene. Polyisobutylene, also known as polyisobutene, is a synthetic rubber, or elastomer, which is manufactured by the polymerization of isobutylene. The product is used in numerous applications including adhesive & sealants, fuel additives, and automotive rubber components. PIB is also used in the production of chewing gums, roofing membranes, gas mask, and polymer modification, and sporting equipment.

Total vehicle sales decreased by 27.1% y-o-y in June 2018 and 38.3% y-o-y in H118. Adding to the myriad risks to automakers is the increased risk of theft from automaker stocks of spare parts. With imported components, the national shortage of parts is taking hold at the same time as the country's vehicle fleet is continuing to age, creating unprecedented levels of excess demand for parts.  Our Country Risk team has raised their end-of-year forecast for inflation rate in 2018 to 539,800%, highlighting the hyperinflation gripping the economy. Owing to this, the trade of automobiles (used and new) is most likely occurring in US dollars rather than the local currency with anecdotal evidence suggesting this is the case.

The report presents the analysis of the global actuators and valves market based on type, application, and geography. Based on type, the market is bifurcated into actuators types and valve types. Electric actuators are more preferred type of actuators and the largest revenue contributor as it is fast and performs well in harsh conditions such as in high pressure and temperature. The global actuators and valves market is further analyzed by several valve types such as quarter-turn valves, multi-turn valves, and control valves. Various applications of actuators and valves are in oil & gas, paper & pulp, mining, water & wastewater, food & beverages, energy & power, automotive and others (chemical, iron & steel, and construction) sector.

Major raw material providers, such as Solvay and Inovyn, offer a wide variety of PVC and PU polymer grades and additives for manufacturing coating materials. Different technologies such as spray coating, dip coating, extrusion or calendaring are used to improve the core properties of fabrics.

The automotive appearance chemicals market has been segmented based on three levels. Functional segmentation of automotive appearance chemicals market has been done on the basis of key products. The products include:

After two straight years of decline, the motor vehicle production in Indonesia resumed growth in 2017, rising by 1.9% y/y to 7.5mn units. The increased export demand for motorcycles and PCs was the main growth driver, while the domestic market weakened. Motorcycles, which made up 84% of the overall output in 2017, witnessed a 1.6% y/y growth in production to 6.3mn units. The production in the PC segment edged 1.4% y/y up to more than 982,000 units. The CV segment expanded the most, up by 12% to 234,260 units. The Indonesian automobile production is sufficient to cover the domestic demand. Indeed, in 2017, it accounted for 108% of the overall domestic sales.

down in 2016 and 2017, as the local automotive manufacturers implemented no expansion of their production capacities. In 2016, the production of transport equipment went up by 1.8% y/y to HUF 7.9tn and by another 1.8% during January-November 2017, compared to a 16.5% y/y rise in 2015 and above 20% y/y growth in 2013 and in 2014. However, the automotive production growth is expected to accelerate, mainly due to the capacity extension project of the local Mercedes-Benz plant which has intentions to build a second plant for production of passenger cars in the country by 2020. This will boost the local production capacity of the company by 80%.
