Global Chemicals and Materials in Infrastructure and Mobility Applications Sector to See Growth
July 5, 2019 | Frost & SullivanEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Key trends such as 3D printing, digital transformation, circular economy, lightweighting, and C02 as feedstock are poised to create a dynamic year for the global chemicals and materials in infrastructure and mobility applications sector. Frost & Sullivan expects market growth to be propelled by rapid economic and infrastructure development in Asia-Pacific as well as further market consolidation through small-value deals and merger and acquisition activities.
“Growth opportunities can be found in plastics and composites, along with the coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers (CASE) sectors, as these segments drive innovation, product introduction, and technology sophistication,” said Soundarya Gowrishankar, Team Leader, Chemicals & Materials in Infrastructure & Mobility. “Furthermore, the water and wastewater treatment chemicals sector growth is likely to be steered by digitization trends in the industry.”
“In 2019, chemical industry trends will largely be influenced by the slowing Chinese economy, US-China trade tensions, Brexit implications, along with the emerging investment outlook in India, Brazil, and rest of Asian countries,” noted Christeena Thomas, Senior Research Analyst, Chemicals & Materials in Infrastructure & Mobility. “Trade wars and higher raw material prices are likely to encourage smaller-value deals that are targeted at focused product/market or regional diversification, with investment and cross-border deals kept at bay.”
Market participants can make the most of growth opportunities in the market by:
- Targeting the promotion of more environmentally sustainable products that are compliant with the regulations mandated by each sector.
- Improving their portfolio with products that can be customized based on end-user specifications, such as improved adhesion, durability, and ease of operation.
- Implementing marketing programs that improve awareness among end-user customers about the utility of advanced products.

The Marketing Minute: Marketing With Layers
10/15/2025 | Brittany Martin -- Column: The Marketing MinuteMarketing to a technical audience is like crafting a multilayer board: Each layer serves a purpose, from the surface story to the buried detail that keeps everything connected. At I-Connect007, we’ve learned that the best marketing campaigns aren’t built linearly; they’re layered. A campaign might start with a highly technical resource, such as an in-depth article, a white paper, or a podcast featuring an engineer delving into the details of a process. That’s the foundation, the substance that earns credibility.

It’s Only Common Sense: Stop Whining About the Market—Outwork It
10/06/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWhenever the market hiccups or the industry cycle dips, I hear the same tired chorus: “The market is down. Customers aren’t buying. What can we do? We just have to wait it out.” Nonsense. If you think that by showing up, opening your doors, and waiting for the economy to smile kindly upon you, that success will follow, you are in the wrong business. Worse yet, you’re living in the wrong mindset. Most people don’t want to hear the truth that winners find business in down cycles. Losers blame the economy.
