Growth Hormone Deficiency Treatment Market: is Likely to Increase at a Significantly High CAGR during Forecast Period 2016 - 2022

Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a medical condition characterized by insufficient production of somatropin, a growth hormone, from the anterior pituitary gland which is responsible for the growth and cell reproduction. Though the exact cause of growth hormone deficiency is obscure, it is considered to be of genetic origin or also it can develop after a trauma, brain injury, due to pituitary tumors etc. Children with growth hormone deficiency show retarded growth and sometimes delayed puberty. Symptoms of growth hormone deficiency vary among adults and children. The predominant symptom in children is that the child is abnormally shorter than other children of his age with or without compromise in the cognitive intelligence while in adults, growth hormone deficiency may lead to fatigue, tiredness, anxiety and depression. Growth hormone deficiency is treated with growth hormone injections on daily or weekly basis although the effects of therapy starts showing after 2-3 months of therapy.
The primary factor contributing to the growth of global growth hormone deficiency treatment market is increasing incidence of growth hormone deficiency syndrome. Several other factors which may cause the global growth hormone deficiency market to grow include changing lifestyle, prevalence of other genetic disorders and incidence of GHD in adults. However, high cost of treatment will always remain the major restraint for global growth hormone deficiency treatment market.

Persistence Market Research delivers key insights on the North America Toxicology Laboratories Market in its latest outlook titled “North America Market Study on Toxicology Laboratories: Increasing Usage of Toxicology Testing Services in Crime Investigation is Expected to Drive the Growth of Toxicology Laboratories”.
The North America Toxicology Laboratories market is expected to reach US$ 198.2 Mn by the end of 2022 at a CAGR of 11.1% during the forecast period. On the basis of drug class, the North America toxicology laboratories market is segmented into alcohol, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, opiates/opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, and Z-Drugs. Weak regulatory control on prescription drugs with regard to over-the-counter purchases has been resulting in increased substance abuse and for amphetamines in particular. This increased consumption is fueling the demand for drug toxicology testing of amphetamines across the U.S. Amphetamines drug toxicity testing segment has been estimated to contribute highest in terms of revenue, accounting for 27.7% of the total toxicology laboratories market share in 2015. The opiate/opioids drug class segment has been estimated to be the fastest-growing segment of the North America toxicology laboratories market, registering a CAGR of 13.3% during the forecast period.
North America toxicology laboratories market is majorly driven by increasing abuse of controlled substances and drugs, increased expenditure by the government agencies on toxicity testing to control consumption of illegal drugs, and favorable reimbursement policies for conducting toxicity testing across workplaces. Additionally, commercial availability of high-end drug testing instruments, and economical, rapid, and effective methods to conduct drug testing is expected to drive the growth of the North America toxicology laboratories market. However, the introduction of point-of-care toxicology testing devices, longer wait time for sample testing in laboratories, and limited efficacy of conventional techniques are factors likely to impede the growth of the North America toxicology laboratories market over the forecast period.



On the basis of sample type, the North America toxicology laboratories market is segmented into, urine, blood, hair, and oral fluid type segments. Urinalysis is one the most prominent techniques used to analyze toxicity in urine samples. This is due to its non-invasive approach, which promotes application in analyzing alcohol, opioids, and amphetamine drug traces and levels in samples. The urine sample segment has been estimated to account for ~62% revenue share in overall toxicology laboratories market in 2015.
The U.S. toxicology laboratories market has been estimated to account for over 83% revenue share of the overall North America toxicology laboratories market in 2015. This is attributed to substantially high levels of drug abuse and unregulated prescribing patterns for hallucination drugs such as amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, tricyclic antidepressants, and Z Drugs.

Ether Carboxylates Market is Likely to Increase at a Significantly High CAGR during Forecast Period 2015 - 2021

Ether carboxylate is one of the major sub-types of a carboxylate which is produced from the reaction of ethoxylated alcohols with sodium chloracetate. Its manufacturing process involves etherification where a carboxyl group-containing compound and a hydroxyl group-containing compound are reacted in an aqueous medium with the help of a rare earth element containing catalyst. The carboxyl group containing compound present in the reaction is one compound which is selected from carboxyl group containing epoxy compounds as well as unsaturated carboxyl group containing compounds. Ether carboxylates are widely used in personal care products, surfactants, admixtures applied in the construction as well as serve as the vital component of superplasticizers. As surfactants, ether carboxylate produces an ultralow interfacial tension (IFT) under high temperature and high salinity conditions. Their consumption in the textile industry is based on their electrolyte, alkali, and hard water stability as well as their good wetting and detergent properties. As compared to cold process soaps, ether carboxylates are less sensitive to hard water and more soluble in water. In addition, they impart good wetting and foam stabilizing properties as well as provide creaminess and mildness in the finished products. Owing to their property of being substantive to hair and skin, ether carboxylate exhibits a conditioned feeling to the human body. When combined with alkyl ether sulfates such as sodium laureth sulfate, they are used for manufacturing shampoos on account of their compatibility with cationic ingredients. 

The global market for ether carboxylate has been witnessing a significant increase on account of growth of its application industries such as personal care and surfactants. Ether carboxylate shares a wide application scope in various industries such as soaps, detergents, textiles, shampoos, and plasticizers among others. In addition, bio-based surfactants has emerged as one of the major opportunities for the growth of the surfactant industry due to growing awareness among consumers towards eco-friendly products which in turn has contributed towards the growing demand for ether carboxylate in surfactants. Major applications of ether carboxylate-based surfactants include detergents, pharmaceuticals, textile and personal care among others. 


Other applications of ether carboxylate include the manufacturing of plasticizers. The market for ether carboxylate in plasticizer has been witnessing significant growth on account of emerging economies and changing lifestyles. In addition, rising environmental awareness coupled with increasing legal provisions have been serving as catalysts for the plasticizers market in certain emerging economies such as India, China, Russia and Brazil. While matured regions such as North America and Europe accounted for the highest demand for ether carboxylate due to presence of vast and skin care and hair care industries, emerging regions such as Asia Pacific are anticipated to witness the fastest growth over the next few years on account of vast textile industries in economies such as China as well as growing demand for personal care products. Various factors such as rising awareness regarding healthy hair and skin among consumers as well as changing lifestyles are expected to boost the demand for personal care products which in turn is anticipated to contribute towards the demand for ether carboxylate. Growing demand for personal care products such as skin care and hair care on account of increasing awareness for healthy skin and hair is anticipated to be on the major factors driving the market for ether carboxylate. However, fluctuating prices of key feedstock materials has been major concern for the manufacturers and is expected to limit the growth of the market. Focus on commercializing and developing cost-effective bio-based surfactants using ether carboxylate is anticipated to provide new opportunities for the growth of the market. 

BASF SE, Huntsman Corporation, KAO Corporation, and Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd. are some of the key manufacturers of ether carboxylate present in the market.
