Control valves are devices that automatically regulate the flow rate, temperature, and pressure of liquids or gases based on an algorithm that adjusts the desired variable. Sensors detect changes in the flow of a substance and send out signals that control the operation of valves.

Refrigeration is used to preserve perishable food items and ensure food safety. The products offered in the global commercial refrigeration market find application in the commercial, industrial, and residential sectors. The market for commercial registration equipment is driven by regulatory standards on labeling, energy performance, refrigerants, and others. The global commercial refrigeration market offers various types of commercial refrigerators such as refrigerated storage cabinets or display cases, ice-making machinery, and walk-in coolers.

The worldwide changes in work conditions and lifestyle have created a demand for commercial on-demand laundry services as consumers have limited time to do chores like laundry. This, in turn, has increased the demand for commercial laundry equipment. An increase in the disposable income and rise in the number of dualincome families across the globe has also increased the demand for laundromats, ondemand laundry services, and other commercial laundry services.

Drilling is cutting method where a drill bit is used to make a circular cross-section in any solid material. A drill bit is a multi-point rotary cutting tool. It is attached to the machine that makes it rotate at speeds ranging from hundreds to thousands of revolutions per minute. This, when pressed against the workpiece, creates the desired hole by cutting off chips from the workpiece.

A compressor is an instrument that is designed to supply air or gas at a higher pressure through compression. There are mainly two types of compressors: positive displacement compressors, and continuous flow compressors.

The US and China are considered to be the major manufacturing hubs using computer-aided design (CAD) software. China and the US together contributed about 45% to the global R&D spending in 2015.In APAC, the governments of various countries have taken initiatives like cabinetlevel programs in China, and the Skill India and Make in India program in India. The Machine Tool Association in Japan and Korea Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea have invested in the growth of the R&D of machine tools. This, in turn, will impact the industrial machinery market in APAC.This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global CAD market in the industrial machinery industry for 2016-2020.

Friction stir welding is a technique to join two metals or metal alloys via a solid-state joining process. The process makes use of a third tool that joins the two surfaces. The process involves the generation of heat that softens the surface near the friction stir welding tool. The two pieces of metal are intermixed at the joint, and mechanical pressure is applied by the tool to join the softened metal. Typically, this type of welding technique is applied in the case of aluminum metal (extruded aluminum) and on structures that require superior weld strength. The process does not need any postweld heat treatment.

This report covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the excavator market in Japan for 2017-2021.

It presents the market's product segmentation on the basis of different range of product offerings by the leading players in the market. The report also provides segmentation based on the bucket size, machine mass, and engine power rating of the excavators. In addition, it contains a detailed discussion of the major drivers influencing the growth of the market, outlines the major challenges faced by the vendors in the market, and examines key trends that are emerging in the market.

The global wind turbine market is expected to witness major demand from emerging economies in APAC such as India and China. For instance, India is likely to expand its wind power capacity by adding 4,000 MW per annum over the next five years; whereas, China's wind power capacity is expected to reach 217 GW by 2020.Gearbox bearing costs account for over 50% of the overall wind turbine bearing costs. Technological advances and an increase in R&D in direct-drive turbines,which do not require a gearbox, are expected to hinder the growth of the global wind turbine bearing market.The decline in the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of wind power and the growth in renewable energy targets worldwide are projected to result in increased installation of wind turbines. During the forecast period, developed economies in Europe such the UK and Germany are expected to invest more in the offshore wind power generation segment. Technological advances in turbines and decline in the LCOE of offshore wind power — from $110/kW in 2014 to $84/kW in 2015 — are the key factors driving investments in this segment.

A significant part of the demand in the global welding safety market will arise from the construction and manufacturing sectors, which jointly accounted for nearly 50% of the overall market in 2015.The demand for welding will increase over the forecast period, especially from the manufacturing industries in developing countries. As welding is extensively used in the manufacturing industries, the rising demand for welding will, in turn, increase the demand for welding safety.Welding is one of the major processes in the construction industry. The global construction output is expected to grow by 85% to reach $15 trillion by the end of 2030. The global construction industry will grow at an annual rate of 4% until 2030,which is higher than the projected global GDP growth rate of 3% per annum.The implementation of robotic welding technology and automated welding technology will significantly limit the market growth as the demand for manual welding will decline. Automated welding solutions offered by companies like Lincoln Electric and Gullco International help end-users execute welding with the highest efficiency. Increased output, improved quality, and reduced overall cost propel endusers to adopt robotic welding. This will decrease the demand for welders, in turn,decreasing the demand for welding safety equipment in the market.
