FOREWORD
The American Chemical Society’s annual meeting in 2012 focused on materials for health and medicine, which is understandable given the growth of the markets in those broad fields. As arguably the oldest of the manufacturing sciences, however, chemistry continues to underpin advances in electronics, photonics, water purity and other markets. We seldom pause to consider what is in our shampoo, or the fuel that carries our automobiles on our daily journeys. But chemistry is the glue that holds our world together, from the paper our students write on, to the screens of our smartphones, chemistry is there, behind the scenes, upholding markets and driving technical advances forward.
This review provides a sampling of the type of quantitative market information, analysis and guidance that has been aiding business decision making since BCC was founded in 1971.
This 2012 Chemicals Research Review includes excerpts from the following reports:
- Global Markets for Flavors and Fragrances.
- Global Markets for Inorganic Nanoporous and Microporous Adsorbents.
- Merchant Hydrogen Generation and On-Site Distributed Generation.
- Global Markets for Sterilization Technologies.
- Ozone Generation: Technologies, Markets and Players.
- Global Markets for Catalyst Regeneration.
We hope you find this Research Review valuable, and we look forward to serving our customers’ chemical market research needs.
