In 2019, the domestic sales of heavy vehicles registered a third consecutive annual expansion due to the recovery of the Brazilian economy following the 2015-2016 recession. Output fell slightly by 0.1% y/y, while exports were down by 34.6% y/y in value and by 42.1% y/y in volume due to lower sales to Argentina. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to two-digit annual falls in output, domestic sales and exports of heavy vehicles. However, in 2021, the regional economic recovery led to a strong rebound in the demand for heavy vehicles. Domestic sales increased by 37.8% y/y in 2021, to 142,741 units, while export volume rose by 49.4% y/y to 34,934 units. This was accompanied by a solid 61% y/y expansion in heavy vehicle output, to 185,762 units. Output and domestic sales reported the largest volume for the 2016-2021 period, while exports reached the largest volume since 2018. Trucks accounted for the bulk of production, sales and exports in the heavy vehicle segment, being the main growth driver in 2021 as well.

In the 2019 2020 crop year, despite COVID 19 and the economic slowdown in the country, Brazil’s crop production rose by 4 1 y/y to a new all time high of 257 bn tonnes, driven mainly by favourable weather and growing yields CONAB’s projections for the 2020 2021 crop year are for a slight decrease, with production expected to fall by 1 8 y/y to 252 4 mn tonnes, due to the bad weather in H 2 2021 characterised with prolonged droughts and low temperatures Soybean, maize and rice are forecasted to account for 93 5 of total crop output during the 2020 2021 season The soybean sub segment is likely to remain among the driving forces, with an estimated increase in production of 10 y/y to a new record high of 137 3 mn tonnes In terms of foreign trade, during the first 10 months of 2021 Brazil exported agricultural products valued at USD 45 9 bn, 20 2 more than in the same period of 2020 This positive performance was on the back of strong foreign demand for some specific commodities, such as soybean, sugar, and coffee

All-Terrain Application Growth: ATVs are utilized for traveling in harsh environments off-road and on rugged terrains. Many current ATVs are developed with aggressive tires and steel rims or rubber track systems that allow mobility through thick mud, gumbo, clay, sand, snow, vegetation, timber, and climbing hills, among other terrains.

The Indonesian automotive market is highly concentrated, with a few players accounting for the bulk of sales. In 2021, the top three brands controlled 63% of new motor vehicle sales (PCs and CVs), while the top five accounted for 84%. Japanese manufacturers are dominant both in terms of production and sales as they enjoy strong brand awareness and have built extensive dealership networks across the country. In addition, most of them have local plants and benefit from Indonesia’s relatively cheap workforce and low taxes, which decrease their production costs. The European brands have negligible market share, as they are positioned mainly in the premium segment. Chinese automakers have pledged to aggressively enter the market, but, so far, their penetration has been limited.

Fax services involve the transfer of documents among clients, customers, enterprise offices, and other related parties through the internet. Based on service type, the fax services market is segmented into three types: FOIP services, cloud-based fax services, and hybrid fax solutions. Customers can also automate their faxing process by integrating their existing back-office applications. End-users have the option to use their existing fax numbers or buy a new fax number (local and toll-free) from service providers. For on-premises fax infrastructure, end-users can install fax software on their desktop systems or the centralized server. Also, end-users can operate through the service provider’s secured online portal for cloud and hybrid fax solutions. They can send or receive faxes through the internet through their personal computers (PCs) or mobile devices. Vendors offer a variety of subscription plans. For the on-premises deployment model, vendors offer software packages on the yearly licensing model. Customers can opt for monthly or annual subscription plans for cloud-based faxing, depending on their faxing requirements. Plans are also offered based on the end-user segment, which ranges from individual end-users to large enterprise customers.

Respiratory masks (RM) are protective devices covering a part of the user’s face. They are designed to protect both the person who wears them and the immediate environment from breathable pollutants (respiratory poisons or bacterial/viral pathogenic organisms). Face masks can be classified as full masks, half, and quarter masks. While a full mask covers the whole face, a half mask fits from under the chin to above the nose, a quarter mask fits from the top of the nose to the top of the chin. The breathing resistance varies proportionally to the density of the mask material used.

Garden hand tools have supported people in their gardening activities over the last few generations. The garden hand tool category of gardening tools consists of power tools and water equipment. The global demand for garden hand tools was estimated at about $17.28 billion in 2020 and is expected to hit a value of $21.53 billion at a CAGR of 3.73% by 2026. The effective utilization of hand tools requires a proper study about the tool for the specific work to be carried out to improve productivity and reduce the margin of error. Lack of knowledge or negligence can lead to injuries. Moreover, proper usage and storage of the tools to avoid rusting are crucial. Digging, striking, and cutting functions require optimum input from the hand tools despite the dominance of other tool categories. Spades, shovels, pruners, augers, cultivators, shears, gardening forks, hoes, and saws are found in the basic tool kits of professional gardeners, horticulturists, and home gardeners today, signifying the momentum of hand tools.

The escalator cleaning machine market has been witnessing consistent growth over the last few years, and the growth is expected to continue during the forecast period. The growth of automation and robotics in commercial cleaning is reshaping the market, with rising adoption in shopping centers, malls, airports, public utilities, and other high-traffic areas. This professional equipment provides highly efficient cleaning across all sectors. With the increasing adoption of automation, end-users are significantly using technology for cleaning. The use of escalator cleaning machines can greatly reduce the time and manual labor required for cleaning. Moreover, it reduces the downtime for escalators significantly.

In the 1840s, the introduction of ether, a surgical anesthetic, made surgical procedures more common. Initially, general anesthesia was given through a device that covered the nose and mouth of the patient. The concern for aspiration of gastric content was not appreciated, and postoperative pneumonia became a common problem. Trendelenburg (1869) designed the first inflatable cuff, a thin rubber bag that was fitted over the end of a tracheostomy tube. It created a tight seal to prevent aspiration during anesthesia. As an alternate method for tracheostomy, Macewen (1880) suggested passing an oral tube into the trachea to relieve an obstruction. Later, anesthesiologist Franz Kuhn used metal tubes and preferred the oral route over tracheostomy and popularized orotracheal anesthesia.

Offshore oil drilling is the process of extracting fossil fuels from beneath the ocean's surface. This is due to the abundance of oil wells on the ocean floor. However, identifying offshore oil resources and setting up an oil rig on the water's surface can be challenging. Therefore, offshore drilling has become more expensive. Offshore drilling is more expensive than onshore drilling; for example, a single offshore drilling rig can meet a considerable amount of a country's energy requirements. This lessens reliance on the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and diminishes the possibility of oil price manipulation.
