DUBLIN, July 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Specialty Chemicals Market Analysis By Product (Coatings, Agrochemicals, Electronics, Construction Chemicals), By Application (Transportation, Construction, Agriculture, Manufacturing), And Segment Forecasts, 2014 - 2025" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The global specialty chemicals market is expected to reach USD 1.79 trillion by 2025

. Growing popularity of high-value chemicals that play a crucial role in the development of novel products is a major driving factor for the industry.

Specialized & advanced features of these compounds lends them a significant advantage in comparison with commodity products, since the former are formulated on the basis of unique performance characteristics for specific applications in the construction, automotive, electronics, agriculture and other sectors.

International chemical authorities are widely advocating the passage of free trade agreements such as Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the U.S. and Europe which is expected to foster manufacturing & trade of these products over the near future. Recovery in housing starts and rebounding growth of the automotive sector in North America is also a key trend impacting market dynamics.

Construction chemicals accounted for 12% of the volume share in 2016 and are expected to emerge as the fastest growing segment with over 5.7% CAGR from 2017 to 2025. The steady demand for residential projects & public infrastructure in emerging economies remains a key driving factor for compounds utilized in the production, maintenance & repair of building components.

Further key findings from the report suggest:

• The global recycled PET demand was around 8,400 kilo tons in 2016 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2017 to 2025
• Clear resins emerged as the dominant product segment is expected to generate revenue worth USD 8.1 billion by 2025.
