The rupture disc market is in its mature stage, leading to slow growth during the forecast period. Replacement demand from the developed regions such as Europe and North America coupled with new industrial and economic developments in emerging countries such as India and China will account for the majority of the demand during the forecast period.Rupture discs in combination with relief valves will account for major gains in the market share during the forecast period. Reduced process leakage, increased maintenance intervals, and extended valve life are the key advantages of using rupture discs with relief valves that result in cost benefits to end-users.This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global rupture disc market for the period 2016-2020. The market size has been estimated by considering the demand for rupture discs from various end-user segments. The average price of various types of rupture discs has also been considered. Forecasting is based on the projected new and replacement demand for rupture discs worldwideand the unit price estimations during the forecast period.

Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) proprietary robot controllers are specialized devices designed by robot OEMs to control and regulate industrial robots, which perform complex point-to-point process-intensive robotic operations.They also have a unique proprietary programming language that differs from one OEM brand to the other.OEM proprietary robot controllers dominated the global robot controllers market with a share of 89.45% in 2015. This was mainly due to their high suitability for process-intensive robotic applications such as welding, machining, forging, painting and dispensing in industries such as automotive, heavy machinery manufacturing,and aerospace that have high adoption of industrial robots.In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the global industrial robot controllers market for 2016-2020. The report also presents the vendor landscape and a corresponding detailed analysis of the top five vendors operating in the market.

The growing focus on epidemiology and translational science, along with the generation and preservation of biological samples (which includes variants of blood) for studies and experimentation, has increased the need for storage solutions that can extend the shelf life of blood.Approximately 50% blood donations happen in high-income countries, which have only 20% of the global population. There is an emphasis on proper storage facilities to store, track, and monitor blood that is supplied or transported to countries that face a shortage of blood units, thereby requiring advanced refrigerating systems.Endorsement of blood banks regarding blood monitoring and storage systems (which includes refrigerators and freezers) using radio frequency identification (RFID) will increase the penetration rate of storage solutions. For instance, in March 2016, Australia’s National Blood Bank endorsed the usage of SpaceCode’sRFID system at Liverpool Hospital in Sydney.Awareness programs such as Blood and Transfusion Safety program by WHO support the development of national blood systems (starting from collection to storage to supply) throughout the world to ensure timely access to safe and adequate supplies of blood and blood-related products, thereby driving the demand for technologically advanced storage solutions.

On an average, a hospital loses more than 15% of its assets in a year owing to fraud or misplacement of hospital supplies. In order to eliminate such losses and enhance time efficiency, hospitals are focusing on upgrading their infrastructure and incorporating radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology to keep track of their inventories. Therefore, the healthcare sector is the predominant end-user of RFID smart cabinets, accounting for 90%-95% of the revenue share in 2015.The efficient inventory management is the prime advantage of RFID smart cabinets. A number of hospitals across the world are adopting RFID smart cabinets for effective inventory management as the cabinets help increase savings, perform real-time tracking, and are less prone to errors.In terms of revenue contribution, the Americas dominated the market in 2015 due to the presence of advanced healthcare infrastructure. The majority of the revenue in this region comes from the US. APAC will register the highest CAGR of 19.47% during the forecast period due to improving healthcare infrastructure.Healthcare reforms, part of five-year plans in countries such as China and India,are focused on strengthening the healthcare infrastructure. With growing awareness about new technologies, emerging countries are adopting these advanced technologies across applications, sectors, and industries.

In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the global positive airway pressure devices market for 2016-2020 (base year: 2015).Positive airway pressure devices are mainly used by individuals who are suffering from sleep apnea, but now these devices are widely used in intensive care units as a form of ventilation.

Approximately 70% of global blood banks use radio-frequency identification (RFID) blood monitoring systems for individual safety.The need to reduce blood transfusion errors will drive the adoption rate. In 2012,the Transfusion Medicine RFID Consortium stated that the use of RFID results in approximately 33% reduction in misplacement of products at blood donation points, as well as an 87% decrease in reconciliation issues or misplacement of products at hospitals.The increasing complications associated with blood transfusion errors will compel hospitals and blood banks to adopt RFID blood monitoring systems.The emergence of ultra-high-frequency tags will drive the market growth owing to their enhanced features such as increased speed and accuracy.The endorsements of RFID blood monitoring systems by blood banks will increase the penetration rate.
