The global seed market is expected to witness a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period. The market value is estimated at USD 52.31 billion in 2018 and is anticipated to reach to USD 74.93 billion by 2024. A sustained downturn in the world cereal market, coupled with slow organic growth, has made it difficult to maintain a consistent progression. The market slump compelled multinationals to look at opportunities for collaboration. This resulted in three major mergers & acquisitions in the seed industry, namely, Dow AgroSciences and DuPont, ChemChina and Syngenta, and Monsanto and Bayer.

With the increasing prevalence of skin cancer, there are multiple options for patients, through which they can manage the disease. The type of treatment the patient receives may depend on the cancer stage the patient has. For decades, the conventional anti-cancer treatment strategies have been surger y, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. The recent years’ success of cancer immunotherapy, including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), adoptive cancer therapy, and the immune checkpoint therapy, has revolutionized the traditional cancer treatment. Currently, there are several studies going on to develop the vaccine for skin cancer. For instance, researchers at Tel Aviv University, Israel, have developed a novel nano-vaccine for melanoma (2019). As of now, their innovative approach has been proven effective in the mouse model. This approach has given an opportunity for the innovation companies to establish their market presence in the near future, with the help of providing a vaccine for skin cancer.

In addition, increase in the number of security breaches and cyber- attacks on financial institution fuel the growth of the market. Furthermore, the adoption of AI-based risk analytics in different financial institution provides a lucrative opportunity for the market. This report features information on risk analytics offered by key vendors. Furthermore, it highlights the strategies of key players to improve the market share and sustain competition.

The past two decades have witnessed rapid technological advancements and development of robots for rehabilitation applications, such as in sensorimotor deficits resulting after damage to the central nervous system. The increasing cases of these types of problems across the world have led to the development of innovative rehabilitation robots coupled with advanced interaction controls and the usage of integrated sensors to constantly monitor and adapt the support to the actual state of patients. These rehabilitation robots are helping patient's recovery by assisting and encouraging upright walking and by relearning of lost functions for patients affected by stroke and paralyses. According to a study by Maxon Motor AG, the company estimated that approximately 185 million people use a wheelchair daily, worldwide. Since the advent of first clinical studies with the MIT-Manus robot, robotic applications have been increasingly used to restore loss of motor function, mainly in stroke survivors suffering from an upper limb paresis but also in cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and other disease types. Thus, numerous studies suggested that robot-assisted training, integrated into a multidisciplinary program, resulted in an additional reduction of motor impairments in comparison to usual care alone in different stages of stroke recovery.

PLC is the primary computing system, which controls automated machines. The system also helps in detecting any errors or flaws and alerts the technician. PLC systems are also preferred over traditional systems, like relays and switch boxes, due to their compact sizes. Another advantage of PLCs is their multi-functionality (owing to their programmable nature that can be used for multiple operations depending on the application). Machine downtime is one of the major factors that has an impact on the manufacturing efficiency of an industry. It is estimated that downtime is responsible for 5-20% of the manufacturing losses incurred during operation. The deployment of PLC systems enables the identification and rectification of errors, and can initiate rapid responses even without human intervention. Hence, these automated PLC systems are estimated to assist in reducing the machine downtime from 20% to almost 4%. The market studied is strongly impacted by the industrial output and the investment funneled into the computers and software. These PLC systems have traditionally been the foundation of both process and discrete factory automation. The growing adoption of Industry 4.0 across the industrial verticals has augmented the market studied.

The report provides market dynamics and trends related to the global premenstrual syndrome treatment market. In addition, it presents the estimations and forecast of the market. The study estimates the revenue generated from the sales of premenstrual syndrome therapeutics; however, it excludes the premenstrual syndrome treatment service revenue. Valuations comprise revenue generated from approved and off label drugs such as analgesics, antidepressant, oral contraceptives, and ovarian suppression agents. Furthermore, the report excludes revenue generated from post-sale services of the premenstrual syndrome treatment market.

Mining chemicals play a major role in the processing of mineral ores. The consumption of base metals (like iron, steel, aluminum, etc.) and precious metals (such as silver, gold, and platinum) has increased steadily, owing to their various applications in many industries. These metal mining processes require mining chemicals at the stage of processing the respective ores. Tall oil fatty acids (TOFA) are used as collector chemicals in mining processes. It is used as a frothing agent in the flotation process for reclaiming low-grade copper, lead, and zinc-bearing ores. OleoFlot, a major brand of IOP (Industrial Oleochemical Products), is a blend of tall oil fatty acids. It is most used as mining chemicals. Enhanced recovery and selectivity are experienced in the beneficiation of phosphate, fluorspar, and copper ores by the judicious use of TOFAs, which are designed to meet the needs of specific ores at individual mines. Furthermore, with the increase in the consumption of base and precious metals, mining activities for these metals have surged globally, which in turn, is driving the global pine chemicals market, during the forecast period.

With the global businesses moving toward cloud, workplaces have become more dynamic than ever. Work dependencies on fixed machines are considered as a restriction to growth. The usage of laptops and Wi-Fi connections allow meetings to be conducted at any time, across any location. Projectors lacked portability and were purchased in bulk quantities, by commercial organizations, so that they could be set up in all the necessary locations. However, over the years, due to an increase in the adoption of minimalization, the projectors have been witnessing technological advancements, resulting in the reduction of their sizes. These factors made it possible for professionals to project their data and video anywhere, on the go. These systems constitute an evolving laser technology and are expected to transform the global projector market, by reducing the size of the projectors to ones that fit in hands. These projectors can also be embedded in small hand-held devices and accessories, like tablets, cameras, personal digital assistants, laptops, and smartphones.

Antioxidants are additives used during plastic production. They are added to the plastic to eliminate degradation processes caused by thermo-mechanical as well as thermo-oxidative conditions. Antioxidants help in extending the life cycle of plastic, increase color deterioration, offer tensile strength and elongation, reduced impact resistance, cracking, and other surface deterioration. Primary antioxidants and secondary antioxidants are the two major categories of plastic antioxidants, and plastic made from primary type is often combined with secondary to produce thermally stable plastic products. In addition, a combination of primary and secondary antioxidants provides additional processing stability during plastic production.
