Innovations in Wax Emulsion Market Fuel South & Central America Wax Emulsion Market
The key manufacturers operating in the wax emulsion market are investing significantly in strategic development initiatives such as product innovation and R&D to attract a wide customer base and enhance their market position. Several researchers are focused on enhancing the thermal and physical properties of wax emulsions to improve their characteristics and product life. Moreover, multifunctional additives are incorporated into the wax emulsion to add characteristics such as antimicrobial properties and UV resistance. Researchers across the globe are studying the enhancement of surface properties of emulsions made from nano-sized wax particles. Other innovations in the wax emulsion market include the development of wax emulsions that can be modified according to the requirements of targeted applications and environmental changes such as temperature and pH. Scientists and researchers are working on the incorporation of nanotechnology in wax emulsion to enhance the material properties. Nanotechnology is used for the efficient and uniform application of wax emulsions. For instance, in December 2022, researchers from the University of Freiburg (Germany), SIRRIS (Belgium), and Indian Institute of Technology (India), developed a method for emulsification of carnauba wax by a reaction of maleic anhydride, resulting in the encapsulation of the wax into stabilized organic nanoparticles. Thus, rising product innovations and research are expected to create lucrative opportunities in the wax emulsion market during the forecast period.
South & Central America Wax Emulsion Market Overview
According to the report by the Brazilian Association of Automotive Vehicle Manufacturers, the production of automobiles in Brazil grew by 11.4%, and the sales were boosted by 10.9% from February to March 2022.
