Uncoated Free Sheet Paper Market: 2018-2026 Forecast and Size Analysis

  February 01, 2019    No comments

Uncoated free sheet paper is a grade of printing and writing paper which is free of mechanical pulp, which is a completely chemically treated pulp without any coating on the surface. Uncoated free sheet paper does not retain water for a long time. This helps in the recycling process of the uncoated free sheet paper. As sustainable development is one of the prominent steps in the protection of environment, usage of uncoated free sheet paper and recycling of it is preferred by printing and writing paper products manufacturers worldwide.

This is driving the uncoated free sheet paper market globally. Uncoated free sheet paper provides better writing and printing surface with high ink retention capability relative to coated free sheet paper used for writing and printing applications. Although, with the gradual shift of educational institutes towards digital media, the demand of uncoated free sheet paper is projected to witness sluggish growth during the forecast period.

Global Uncoated Free sheet Paper Market Dynamics

Digital media is one of the prominent restraints for the growth in demand for uncoated free sheet paper. This has led to uncoated free sheet paper companies processing purchased pulp rather than producing pulp on their own. Thus, this changing trend in the value chain of the uncoated free sheet paper market has resulted into price hike by a large number of uncoated free sheet paper market players, including Twin Rivers Paper Company Inc., Verso Corporation, North Pacific Paper Company (NORPAC) and Domtar Corporation.


The demand for uncoated free sheet paper for writing applications is gradually decreasing due to the shift of educational institutes towards digital media. On the other hand, the uncoated free sheet paper market for printing applications is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.

Phenolic Caps Market Adopts Innovation to Stay Competitive, 2018 – 2026

  February 01, 2019    No comments
Phenolic caps are high performance, durable caps with an extremely high heat tolerance, i.e. phenolic caps start to decompose at temperatures of above 220 degree Celsius. Phenolic caps are very tough when used in their desirable temperature range. Phenolic stands for Phenol Formaldehyde Resin. Phenolic caps are mostly used for harmful acids, bases, and other reactive compounds. The key factor which is expected to contribute to increase in preference for phenolic caps is their chemically inert nature when paired with polycone liners.

Therefore, when exposed to harmful and corrosive chemicals like acids and bases, phenolic caps perform much better than their counterparts. Phenolic caps are reliable and safe, which results in high preference for phenolic caps in labs, across the world. By chemical composition and design, phenolic caps are known to provide a desirable range of chemical compatibility, and has the highest temperature tolerance among all other plastic closures available in the market. The outlook for growth of the global phenolic caps market is expected to be positive during the forecast period.

Global Phenolic Caps Market: Dynamics

The global phenolic caps market is expected to grow on the backdrop of growing demand for safe packaging and sealing solutions at laboratories. Since phenolic caps have the desired properties, they are widely preferred in laboratories in educational institutions and other research facilities. Furthermore, manufacturers of phenolic caps also provide an additional option to provide a PE cone layer, which provides chemical barrier. The degree of threat to the phenolic caps market from substitutes is rather low, as these some of the best chemically inert closures that the market has to offer.


Phenolic caps are extensively used in the pharmaceutical sector, which includes medical and biotechnological laboratories, among others. Phenolic caps have an edge over alternatives in the sense that they are capable of maintaining their form and features on exposure to corrosive material. Therefore, it is unlikely that the phenolic caps market will face severe competition from an alternative solutions (not considering any unpredictable future product innovation which has the potential to disrupt the phenolic caps market).

Next Generation Memory Technologies Market to Log Unprecedented CAGR of 46.1% to 2019

  February 01, 2019    No comments
Next generation memory technologies include emerging memory solutions that have been introduced in the market in the recent past or are expected to be launched during the period 2013 to 2019. These memories compete with older memories such as flash, DRAM and SRAM on the basis of speed, scalability and cost. The total global market for next generation memory technologies stood at USD 207.8 million in 2012 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 46.1% during the period 2013 to 2019. Emerging memory solutions are experiencing growth in demand due to their potential for better speed and higher scalability.

The market has witnessed significant uptake for non-volatile emerging memory solutions as compared to volatile memory solutions. This is due to an inherent benefit offered by non-volatile memories: retention of data without the need of power. Among all non-volatile emerging memory solutions, FeRAM (ferroelectric RAM), MRAM (magneto-resistive RAM) and PCM (phase change memory) had significant market shares in 2012. Other emerging memory technologies include ReRAM (resistive RAM) and CBRAM (conductive bridging RAM). With increase in adoption of MRAM and PCM memory, cache memory and enterprise storage is anticipated to be the largest market segment by application for next generation memory technologies. Use of emerging memories is expected to improve the input/output (I/O) performance of the enterprise storage systems.

Major interface technologies being deployed across the memory market include double data rate (DDR) interface, SATA (Serial ATA), SAS (serial attached small computer system interface), PCIe (peripheral component interconnect express) and I2C (inter integrated circuit). DDR interface includes DDR 1/2/3/4 and LPDDR. DDR interfaces find application in storage, especially SSDs (solid-state drives). DDR was the dominant interface technology being deployed with next generation memory technologies and held 47.6% share in 2012. North America was the largest market in 2012, followed by Europe. Rise in demand for memory technologies offering lower cost per bit and demand for faster mobile memory chips are important trends in the North American region. Europe experienced growth in next generation memory technologies due to increasing volatility in the market and decline in average selling prices for existing memories. This has led to a rise in interest in more sustainable memory options. Growth in the Asia Pacific region is led by demand from Japan, China and South Korea.


Fujitsu Ltd. was the market leader in 2012 due to higher sales of its FeRAM technology, which is a relatively mature product. Fujitsu was followed by Everspin Technologies, Inc. and Micron Technology, Inc. In 2012, Everspin was a major manufacturer of MRAM, while Micron Technology led the market for PCM. Other important players include SK Hynix Inc., Avalanche Technology Inc., Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, Adesto Technologies Corporation Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Crossbar Inc., Winbond Electronics Corporation.
