Global Hydrolysis Stable Polyester Films Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2019-2024

Polyester films are produced from polyethylene terephthalate resins and are also known as Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) films. Hydrolysis is a phenomenon of the chemical breakdown of a compound upon contact with water. In polyester films, the water breaks down the polyester into alcohol and acid groups. Hydrolysis stable polyester films are a type of polyester films that do not chemically break down when they come in contact with water. Hydrolysis stable polyester films are essential to prevent the packaged product against hydrolysis. Hydrolysis stable polyester films can be used as outer as well as an inner layers in packaging material.

Hydrolysis stable polyester films are preferred due to their high barrier properties, high tensile strength and easy printability. The easy printability provided by hydrolysis stable polyester films makes them an ideal tool for advertisement for manufacturers. Moreover, hydrolysis stable polyester films provide excellent properties in high-humidity and high-temperature conditions. Hydrolysis stable polyester films, because of their enhanced properties, are also used to laminate photovoltaic or solar cells. Hydrolysis stable polyester films are used in multi-layers for various packaging and industrial purposes.

Milling Machines Market 2019 Leading Key Vendors, Share, Segmentation, Comprehensive Research and Regional Trends by Forecast to 2026

Milling is the machining process in which rotary cutters remove material from a work piece from axis of the tool. Milling machines are tools designed to cut metal, wood, and other solid materials. Often automated, milling machines can be positioned in either vertical or horizontal orientation to carve out materials based on a pre-existing design. Milling machines accomplish different machining operations according to specific needs. Various tools are equipped in the milling machines for the operations. Some of these tool heads include cutters, rounding mills, fluted mills, and ball end mills.

Demand for high quality products is a major factor responsible for the rise in demand for milling machines. Increase in demand for computer numerical control (CNC) machines due to its advanced technique and precise cutting has boosted the global milling machines market. There are three types of milling machines available in the market: manual, semi-automatic, and automatic milling machines. Manufacturers are focusing on technological development of the product to make it more advanced and efficient. Rise in automation has led to increased demand for automatic milling machines.

These machines are capital intensive and require less human involvement. Manufacturers are employing automatic milling machines in order to increase the production capacity. Demand for CNC machines has increased over the years since they are highly efficient, productive, and enable incorporation of new technologies. These advantages of the machines have fuelled the growth in the establishment of manufacturers and distributors to provide machines.


Development of 6-axis machines has enabled the conversion of the final product by turning from both ends of the fixture, thus eliminating multiple fixtures and other activity in the machining process. It also avoids the waiting period during the shifting of the work piece from one machine to another and prevents queuing. Further, milling machines can be used to carry out complex work such as drilling holes of different diameters and shapes or variable cutting speed and pattern. The Asia Pacific market is expected to expand at the highest CAGR among all regions due to increasing manufacturing activity in India and China. Players are setting up plants in this region due to availability of raw material and labor intensive manufacturing (labor is cheap in the region).

However, lack of skilled labor in the manufacturing industry may restraint the global milling machines market. Manual and semi-automatic machines require input from labor. Labor should be skilled enough to operate the machines. Automatic milling machines are capital intensive and some end-users may not be able to purchase them. These machines require regular maintenance for smooth functioning, which increases the operation cost. The setback in the European machine tools manufacturing market can prove to be a disadvantage for the global milling machines market.
