The key market players in the propylene oxide market are focusing on adopting the various strategies, such as expansions, joint ventures, mergers & acquisitions, and agreements to cater to the increased demand for propylene oxide from different end-use industries.

In 2014, The Dow Chemical Company started operations at SCG-Dow Group (Thailand), a joint venture between Dow and Siam Cement Group (Thailand) for its new Propylene Oxide (PO) facility. This new facility has a capacity of 390,000 tons per annum of PO using the Hydrogen Peroxide to Propylene Oxide (HPPO) technology. With this development, the company further strengthened its position in the Asian propylene oxide market.  

In 2015, LyondellBasell Industries N.V. planned to build a PO/TBA plant in Houston, (US) with an annual production capacity of 1 billion pounds propylene oxide and 2 billion pounds tertiary butyl alcohol. The plant is expected to be operational by 2020. With this development, LyondellBasell is expected to become the largest producer of propylene oxide using the PO/TBA technology and strengthen its position in the propylene oxide market.

Solar Photovoltaic Glass Market Outlook: Emerging Trends and Forecast to 2027

Solar photovoltaic glass market size is projected to reach USD 21.1 billion by 2027 from USD 6.2 billion in 2022 growing at a CAGR of 27.9%. Solar Photovoltaic Glass, also known as solar PV glass or solar glass, refers to a specialized type of glass that is designed to generate electricity from sunlight. It combines the functionality of traditional glass with the energy-producing capabilities of photovoltaic (PV) technology. Solar Photovoltaic Glass is typically made by integrating thin-film solar cells or crystalline silicon solar cells into the glass structure during the manufacturing process. These solar cells are responsible for converting sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. The glass serves as a protective and supportive layer for the solar cells, allowing them to function effectively while maintaining transparency. The main purpose of Solar Photovoltaic Glass is to capture solar energy and convert it into usable electricity. It finds applications in various
