The demand for narcotic detection is driven by the increasing instances of trafficking of drugs, such as cocaine, and heroin, among others. Various law enforcement agencies, like Phoenix (Arizona) Police Department, are implementing sophisticated narcotics analysis technologies that are designed to improve the safety and welfare of the communities they protect and serve. With the emergence of cannabinoids (K2 spice), dibutylone and synthetic cathinones (bath salts) that are visually indistinguishable from one another, there is a dire need to deploy narcotic scanners to restrict the unauthorized movements of drugs. The Office of Field Operations, a US federal law enforcement agency managing operations at over 300 ports, including 15 pre-clearance stations in the Caribbean, Ireland, and Canada, reports a continued rise in the number of drugs being smuggled observed in the United States. Sealed cargo containers, used for shipping goods across the world, have always been a challenge for law enforcement to search. When faced with several containers on a single ship, the task of screening all of them is monumental.

The report provides market dynamics and trends related to the global electroencephalography equipment market. In addition, it presents the market estimations and forecast of the market. For the purpose of analysis, the global electroencephalography equipment market has been segmented based on product, application, end users and region. The report includes the revenue generated from the sales of products such as integrated EEG systems, portable EEG systems and EEG accessories, which are used for performing electroencephalograms. However, the report does not include revenue generated from the services provided by companies that conduct electroencephalograms. Moreover, for a further clarification the report also provides a broad view of the applications of the EEG products such as brain monitoring, sleep monitoring, and anesthesia monitoring, research and others. The market is also classified into end users such as hospitals, diagnostic centers, ambulatory surgical centers and others that utilize the products. This further provides the understanding about the use of EEG products. Furthermore, the report covers revenue generated from the sales of products related to electroencephalography equipment offered in regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA

Rising awareness toward predictive maintenance is driving the market, owing to the emergence of Industry 4.0 and sophisticated ‘smarter’ technologies. According to Accenture, predictive maintenance of assets is one matching area of focus, which saves up to 12% over scheduled repairs, reducing overall maintenance costs up to 30% and eliminating breakdowns up to 70%. A breakdown in critical equipment is costly to manufacturers in terms of repairs, as well as the loss of productivity and downtime. Approximately 98% of organizations stated that a single hour of downtime costs over USD 100,000. Ensuring that all equipment function optimally, remains an essential priority for manufacturers, many of whom are turning to predictive maintenance-enabling technology and solutions on their production floor. For pneumatics systems, it means a whole new level of condition and remote monitoring, to the extent that maintenance personnel can determine whether some obstacles have occurred or not.

Environmental monitoring involves the evaluation of the quality of the environment to control the risk of pollution. The primary goal of environment monitoring system is to monitor different environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, airflow, smoke and to keep a detail record of these factors with a live video streaming using a high-quality camera. Surge in health concern and increase in deaths due to rise in pollution levels and rise in the need for better resource management drive the growth of the market. In addition, ongoing installation of environmental monitoring sensors and development of environmentally friendly industries propels the growth of the market. However, high product costs and slow implementation of pollution control reforms in emerging countries are expected to impede the market growth. Furthermore, rising participation and investments by businesses for deployment of pollution monitoring is expected to present major opportunities for the expansion of the market in future.

The major factors attributing to the growth of the market are the increasing number of disabling hearing loss cases, rising geriatric population indirectly contributing to increased awareness of these devices, and increasing technological advancements by the companies. As per the revised World Population Prospects, by the United Nations, the number of people aged 60 or above is expected to grow greater than double by 2050, i.e. from 962 million in 2017 to 2.1 billion in 2050, worldwide. This age group is much more vulnerable to hearing loss, which boosts the demand for these devices in the market. According to “The Global Burden of Disease Study 2017” Disease and Injury Incidence and Prevalence Collaborators report, the estimated population with hearing loss rose from 1.2 billion (17.2%) in 2008 to 1.4 billion (18.7%) in 2017, for whom proper well-coordinated global action is needed.

After the collection of waste, the traditional way of sorting the waste is by manual ways. But this is not considered to be efficient. Thus, the development of automated robot-based sorting systems was conceptualized in 2016. Furthermore, these systems have been improved using Artificial Intelligence(AI). But the development and adoption of these robotic waste sorting systems have been slow, as the municipalities highly depend on either dumping or landfills to get rid of their waste. This is evident from how late these robotic systems were introduced. The United States started testing the Robotic sorting systems in 2016. The adoption of robotic sorting systems is expected to explode in the coming years, due to the anti- dumping regulation imposed by China and the new landfill regulation imposed by each country.
