Diethylene Glycol Dibenzoate (DEGDB) is increasingly making its mark across multiple industries as a safer, non-phthalate alternative plasticizer. From 2018 to the

id-2020s, demand has steadily risen, particularly in regions that are tightening regulations on traditional plasticizers. The push toward sustainability, coupled with rising awareness of health-safety concerns, has encouraged manufacturers in plastics, coatings, adhesives, and sealants to adopt DEGDB more broadly.

One of the primary drivers is the booming plastics and PVC market: DEGDB improves flexibility, durability, and low volatility, making it suitable for applications like flooring, wire and cable insulation, automotive interiors, and packaging. In adhesive and sealant formulations, its solvency and compatibility enhance performance, especially in environmentally conscious constructions. Regional growth is led by Asia-Pacific, where construction and automotive sectors are expanding rapidly, followed by North America and Europe where regulatory pressure is stronger and consumer demand favors “greener” materials.

Despite positive growth trends, challenges remain. Raw…

The Indonesia Inclined Moving Walks Market is positioned for measurable growth between 2018 and 2032 as the country expands airport capacity, upgrades urban transit nodes, and modernizes large commercial developments. Driven by rapid urbanization, rising air travel and retail investment, plus growing attention to accessibility and passenger experience, inclined moving walks (travelators) are increasingly adopted in airports, train stations, mixed-use complexes, and large retail centers across

Indonesia’s major cities.

Market backdrop (2018–2024)

From 2018 through 2024, demand was anchored by new and upgraded transport hubs, particularly airport terminal expansions and major station refurbishments. Indonesia’s growing middle class and rising domestic and international travel created pressure on circulation systems in large public facilities—prompting developers and operators to install inclined moving walks to reduce transfer times and improve passenger throughput. At the same time, a wave of new shopping malls and integrated mixed-use projects incorporated travelators as part of visitor-comfort design. The early…

The Europe biochar market is witnessing significant growth as environmental sustainability and carbon management become central to agriculture, forestry, and energy sectors. Biochar, a carbon-rich material produced through the pyrolysis of biomass, is used to enhance soil fertility, sequester carbon, and improve water retention, making it an effective solution for climate change mitigation.

With increasing regulatory support for green practices and rising awareness about soil health and carbon footprints, biochar is gaining traction among farmers, horticulturists, and industrial users across Europe.

Market Overview

Biochar offers a versatile range of applications, including soil amendment, livestock feed additive, water filtration, and renewable energy generation. Its ability to improve soil structure, increase nutrient retention, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions positions it as a sustainable alternative in agriculture and environmental management.

Government incentives promoting carbon-negative technologies, combined with the European Union’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions under the European Green Deal, are driving adoption. Additionally,…
