Logistics & Cold Chains Drive Demand for Phase Change Materials (PCMs) to Touch $3.8 Billion by 2023 – Market Report (2017-2023) by Industry Experts, Inc.
Industry Experts, Inc. introduced a global market research report on Phase Change Materials (PCMs). As per this new report entitles " Phase Change Materials - A Global Market Overview ", Bio-based PCMs projected the fastest growing material type between the period 2018 and 2023 while Organic are estimated the largest consumed PCMs. Phase change materials (PCMs) employ the latent heat of phase change for controlling temperatures within a specific range. These materials are environmentally responsive, implying that they respond to an environmental trigger that causes a physical change in them. These triggers can be pH, temperature or ionic concentration. Temperature is one example of a reliable trigger for controlling materials used on the body, since the physiological temperature is rather stable, i.e. around 37oC, and differs quite a lot from room temperature that is around 20oC. PCMs absorb, store and release latent heat without any change in their own temperature by movi...
