The proliferation of handheld devices has led to developments in the field of gas sensors, detector, and analyzer, which has considerably widened the scope of application across multiple end-user segments. Due to their chemical composition and properties, metal oxide gas sensors are well-suited for a wide range of applications, including the detection of all reactive gases. Depending on the material used and the gases that need to be detected, typical operating temperatures range between 300°C and 900°C. Currently, some of the prominent companies are developing products across the detector, as well as the analyzer segment having application across clinical assaying, environmental emission control, explosive detection, agricultural storage, and shipping, along with workplace hazard monitoring.

In the recent years, the sales of internal combustion engines, which are the main source of environmental pollution, declined significantly, primarily due to the rising awareness regarding environmental pollution. The pollution caused by automotive had been increasing drastically, since the past few decades, and it is estimated that about 30% of air pollution is primarily due to automotive emission. Sudden increase in automotive pollution considerably impacted the environment, intensifying the threat of air pollution in most of the big cities around the world.

The current market of optogenetics is in its nascent stages, it is still restricted to the laboratory and animal models. However, the technology, which had been classified as the “method of the year” in 2010, holds great potential to deal with the rising cases of neurodegenerative, cardiac, and infectious diseases. Optogenetics is going to pave the way for scientists to pinpoint the function of thousands of different types of neurons among the roughly 86 billion present in the human brain. It holds the ability to turn largely co-relational fields of science into one that tests causation.

Motor insurance represented 42% of all non-life gross premiums of the overall property and casualty insurance market in 2017. Motor and other traditional P&C lines, both personal and commercial, therefore, is likely to face a sluggish growth in the coming years. Motor insurance is highly correlated with the economic performance of countries. Although advanced economies are showing signs of recovery, motor insurance premiums are likely to remain under pressure, not from disruptive technologies, which drive changes in motor vehicle safety and impact both loss frequency and severity at the same time. The impact on motor insurance is likely to increase, as cars evolve and move up in the level of technological automation, from limited and partial automation to highly and fully automated functionalities. Motor insurance premium growth has been diverging in the advanced and developing markets over the last decade. Premium growth in the more mature advanced markets has stagnated, while motor insurance has expanded rapidly in the emerging markets. The outlook for advanced economies, however, is improving, and is expected to pick up, in line with economic growth over the forecast period. The emerging markets, meanwhile, is expected to slow slightly, but still outperform.

The metabolomics is currently an up-growing ‘OMICS’ approach, for therapeutic interventions, where this technology is being increasingly adopted for biomarker discovery, in tandem with genomics, for better understating of underlying causes of pathology. The present status of metabolomics promises healthy growth opportunities in biomarkers and genomics- based research. As several companies and universities are focusing on the research related to early and better diagnosis of a diseases, as well as improved treatment option, the metabolic pathways are well- explored at the academic and a biopharmaceutical R&D level.

The report analyzes the global medical display market based on the device, panel size, resolution, application, and region. It considers the revenue generated through medical grade displays, which are used in healthcare facilities.The surgical as well as digital pathology segments served as the leading investment pockets in the global medical display market. The growth of the surgical segment is attributable to wide usage of medical displays with its critical impact on quality of procedures. The growth of the digital pathology segment is driven by increase in demand for digital pathology.

The global olives market has grown rapidly in recent years, majorly driven by a shift in the consumption pattern toward inclusion of olive oil in regular diet and influences for the usage of table olives from Mediterranean cuisine in the non-European countries. On contrary, the consumption has remained stable in the European Union, with the per capita consumption in Spain, Italy, Greece, and Portugal projected to grow steadily to 9.5 kgs by 2030, as reported by the European Commission.  In terms of production, erratic rainfall and cold waves, followed by olive fly infests have escalated the problems for olive growers in the major producing regions, while an alternate bearing cycle has been simultaneously witnessed in Italy. However, an increase in the global demand for olives is set to drive the overall olive production with the emerging producers, such as China and India, participating in the run with support from the respective governments and associations.

High-performance lubricants, also known as synthetic lubricants, are gaining popularity due to their excellent properties over mineral oil lubricants. The synthetic lubricants segment is constantly gaining market share and is projected to be the fastest-growing segment of the global market, during the forecast period. Synthetic lubricants offer better and improved properties over mineral lubricants, such as low-traction coefficient, reduction in power consumption and gear wear, increased service life, and reduced flammability to increase safety, among many others. These properties, in turn, make them most-suited for extreme high-temperature applications, as well as other complex and specific applications, such as heavily loaded gearboxes, etc.

The global macadamia market is growing at a faster pace with the growing importance of healthy eating and consumers are more frequently choosing nuts as a healthy snack option and incorporating them into their daily diets. In addition, organic macadamia is also gaining popularity with increasing demand coming majorly from the European countries. The wide application of processed macadamia in different industrial segments, such as the food and beverage industry, and cosmetics and personal care industry, is also augmenting the growth of these nuts in the global market. Australia, Hawaii in the United States, and South Africa are the largest macadamia production regions in the world. Few other growing regions include Latin America and Asia-Pacific.

The growth of the market studied is driven by the increasing number of surgical procedures requiring anesthesia, technological advancements pertaining to anesthesia delivery devices, and rising usage of inhalable anesthetics in the emerging markets, such as China and India. According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 51 million inpatient surgeries and 53 million outpatient surgeries were performed in the United States in 2017. The number of surgeries has also been increasing in Asia-Pacific (especially in China and India), mainly because of the high patient population levels.
