Global Lactic Acid & Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) Market by Raw Materials, Types, Applications and Potential Opportunities (Forecast to 2016) Today, public concern regarding the environment, increasing desire of manufacturing companies to develop more sustainable products, limited fossil fuel resources, and climate change are important reasons for governments and companies to find substitutes to crude oil-based products. Bio-based plastics present huge potential to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and the related environmental impacts. In recent years, PLA has emerged as one of the most popular bio-degradable plastics available in the market. PLA finds major applications in the food packaging industry, especially in frozen foods, ready-to-eat meals, and cutlery. Increasing awareness regarding the environmental consequences by the use of conventional plastic packaging is expected to drive the demand for PLA in the near future. This surge in PLA demand is expected to reflect in demand for lactic acid as PLA is the largest application market for it. The technical developments in emerging bio-based plastics have substantially improved the properties of novel bio-based plastics such as heat resistance of PLA, enabling a much wider range of applications.

Global Corrosion Inhibitors – Water & Oil Based, Organic & Inorganic Type, Applications, Raw Materials Trends & Forecasts (2010 – 2015) A corrosion inhibitor is a chemical compound that, when added to a liquid or gas, decreases the corrosion rates of a material, typically a metal or an alloy. Corrosion inhibitors will remain the largest product segment within water treatment chemicals market.	March 2011	$ 4650
Renewable Chemicals (2009 - 2014) Industrial biotechnology or white biotechnology uses cells and enzymes to produce bioenergy, biomaterials and other industrial products. The report will analyze the commercialization of the applications, technologies and products like renewable chemicals.	August 2009	$ 4650
Methanol Market by Applications, Geography, Prices Trends and Global Forecasts 2011-2016 Methanol is usually made from natural gas but it is also possible to produce it by fermenting biomass. Most of fuel methanol is sold as a blend of 85% methanol with 15% unleaded premium gasoline in many countries like USA. The largest use of methanol by about 40% is converted to formaldehyde, and from there into many diverse products like plastics, plywood, paints, and explosives. China is the largest regional market for methanol and the main driver of global markets. China has seen double-digit growth in methanol demand with strong performances in the acetic acid, methanol blending in gasoline and DME sectors. The use of methanol in fuel applications is expected to have a big impact on future demand. Methanol can be used in biodiesel production where it is used in the trans-esterification step of the process.	March 2012	$ 4650
Modified Starch Market by Applications, Prices and Geography Trends and Global Forecasts 2011-2016 Since their development in the 1940s, modified food starches have become a vital part of the food industry. Practically every category of food utilizes the functional properties of starch to impart some important aspect of the final product. Unmodified starches have limited usage due to its inherent weakness of hydration, swelling and structural organization. To enhance viscosity, texture, stability among many desired functional properties desired for many food and industrial applications, starch and their derivatives are modified by chemical, physical and biotechnology means.

Global Biosurfactants Market by Type, Region and Applications (2011 – 2016) Biosurfactants are microbial surface active agent, a product of biotechnology used in various industrial and medical applications. Increasing the demand for bio surfactants products is due to its biodegradability, low toxicity, bio compatibility, digestibility and excellent surface activity, effectiveness under extreme temperature and pH conditions. Solubilization, emulsification, dispersion, wetting, foaming and detergent capacity and antimicrobial activity are the major functions of bio surfactants. Bio surfactants are produced from cheap raw materials which are very easily available in large quantities, typically from the hydrocarbons, carbohydrates and lipids.	March 2012	$ 4650
Global Succinic Acid Market Size, Applications & Opportunities (2011-2016) Succinic Acid is produced on large scale from petrochemical sources. Also, the production technology for succinic acid using biological processes has significantly advanced to the stage of pilot plants, with the commercial scale plants expected to be operational in the next couple of years. Succinic acid is used in production of polymers, resins, food and pharmaceutical products. It is used mostly as chemical intermediate for dyes, perfumes, plasticizers, metal treatment chemicals . Bio-based succinic acid can be used as an alternative to petroleum - derived chemical building blocks such as adipic acid and 1,4-butanediol.	March 2012	$ 4650
