  • Worldwide Dermal Facial Fillers Industry to 2026 - Featuring Allergan, Galderma & Merz Pharma Among Others

    Dublin, March 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Dermal Facial Fillers Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2021-2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global dermal facial fillers market reached a value of US$ 2.64 Billion in 2020. A dermal facial filler is an injectable solution which fills the soft tissue present under the skin. Dermal fillers can be both synthetic and natural. With age, the flexibility of the skin is lost along with the natural hydration which helps in shaping, supporting and adding volume to the face. This phenomenon results in the occurrence of wrinkles and sagging of the skin. Dermal fillers are applied through tiny facial injections to specific areas of the face. They raise and pump the facial skin in a gentle manner by replacing the collagen lost due to the above factors. Dermal fillers are helpful in enhancing the appearance of aging, wrinkling and sagging skin. They are used in the form of a non-invasive treatment to rejuvenate facial skin by minimising or removing wrinkles, raising depressions caused by scars, augmenting lips, and replacing the lost soft-tissue through facial injections.The dermal facial fillers market is strongly being driven by an increase in the number of people seeking treatment for facial wrinkles and scarring. This increase has occurred on account of a continuous rise in an imbalance diet, stress and insomnia. Another major driver of this market is the fact that this treatment is non-invasive and has does not take a long period of time to be conducted. Moreover, there has been a decrease in the number of complexities which occur post-surgery. In addition to this, the surgery does not have a prominent scarring as it requires very small incisions which has positively influenced the overall growth of the market. Other factors that are catalysing the growth of this market include a rising ageing population, increasing disposable incomes and raising awareness through social media platforms such as youtube and Instagram. Looking forward, the publisher expects the global dermal facial fillers market to exhibit moderate growth during the next five years.Market Summary:Based on the material type, the market has been segmented into temporary fillers, semi-permanent fillers and permanent fillers.

  • Melamine Formaldehyde Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)

    The melamine formaldehyde market is expected to record at a CAGR of over 5% during the forecast period. One of the main factors driving the market is the growing demand for formica laminated furniture.New York, March 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Melamine Formaldehyde Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06028510/?utm_source=GNW However, government regulation on the toxicity of formaldehyde in developed nations is expected to hinder the growth of the market studied.The use of melamine formaldehyde for the treatment of an organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) is likely to act as an opportunity for the market studied in the coming years.By application, the decorative laminated furniture segment will dominate the market, which is expected to grow further during the forecast period.The Asia-Pacific region is estimated to dominate the global market, owing to the increasing demand from the furniture industry in China and India.Key Market TrendsGrowing Demand for Formica Laminated Furniture- Decorative laminates are an attractive and safe way to keep the interior beautiful and to protect furniture from wear and tear, scratching, and fire risk. These products also help to increase the surface life span and provide them an eye-catching finish.- The principal use of melamine resin is the main constituent of high-pressure laminates, such as formica and arborite and laminate flooring. Additionally, it is used in plastic laminate and overlay materials.- A complexly interlinked polymer melamine formaldehyde is employed in plywood and particleboard adhesives, dishwasher-safe tableware, and automotive surface coatings.- Manufacturing of eco-friendly decorative laminates is expected to present lucrative growth opportunities for manufacturers to enhance the existing customer base and augmented market value share.- Hence, owing to the above-mentioned factors, the application of melamine formaldehyde as formica-laminated furniture is likely to dominate during the forecast period.Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market- The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market for melamine formaldehyde during the forecast period. The growing infrastructural investments and economic growth of various developing nations, such as India and China, are expected to drive the demand for melamine formaldehyde in this region.- The largest producers of melamine formaldehyde are based in the Asia-Pacific region. Some of the leading companies in the production of melamine formaldehyde are BASF SE, Hexion, and AkzoNobel NV, among others.- The rising demand for decorative laminates is relatively high in developing countries, such as India and China, in the Asia-Pacific region due to the increasing population and the expanding economy.- The growing demand for cement is due to the increasing construction market in the Asia-Pacific region. The Asia-Pacific region construction spending is expected to be almost half of the total global construction spend by 2020, with China, Japan, Indonesia, South Korea, and Malaysia, expected to have the highest potential for market growth and profitability.- The rising textile chemical market in the APAC region, due to growing apparel and home furnishing industry, cotton and synthetic fibers, and urbanization, results in the rise of domestic demand in the Asia-Pacific region.- Owing to the above-mentioned factors, the market for melamine formaldehyde in the Asia-Pacific region is projected to grow during the study period.Competitive LandscapeThe global melamine formaldehyde market is partially consolidated in nature with a few major players dominating the market. Some of the major companies are BASF SE, Hexion, AkzoNobel NV, Prefere Resins Holding GmbH, and Georgia Pacific Chemicals.Reasons to Purchase this report:- The market estimate (ME) sheet in Excel format- 3 months of analyst supportRead the full report: https://www.reportlinker.com/p06028510/?utm_source=GNWAbout ReportlinkerReportLinker is an award-winning market research solution.
