The microelectronics market grossed USD 463 billion, in 2018. Manufacturers are, thus, experiencing the biggest sales growth since the turn of the millennium. According to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), worldwide, the semiconductor industry was projected to grow at a rate of 15.7% in 2018, to reach USD 477.1 billion. China, being the largest, accounted for more than 32% of global semiconductor sales, in 2018. This is going to create a demand for CVD coatings for microelectronics, of which, semiconductors occupy a major share.  Chemical Vapor Deposition process is the widely used deposition method for the production of high-quality, high-performance, solid materials, mostly under vacuum. CVD is often used in the semiconductor industry for the production of thin films, and goes into various segments, such as smartphones, PC’s, tablets, and other medical electronics.  Metals, such as aluminum, copper, etc., which are used in the manufacturing of microelectronics, are often deposited by CVD methods. Copper CVD is generally used as a substitute in integrated circuits.

The apparel industry is one of the oldest and largest export industries in the world. It is also one of the fastest growing global industries, as most developing nations manufacture textiles for the international textile and apparel market. Regenerated cellulose is majorly used in the manufacturing of textiles and apparels, especially through its derivative, viscose staple fiber.  The textile industry is an ever-growing market with China, United States, European Union, and India being the major contributors. China, alone, accounts for approximately 1/4th of the global textile industry. China is the largest clothing producer in the world and has the largest production capacity for textile products consisting of cotton, manmade fibers, and silk.

Carbon nanotubes are considered a “supermaterial” with its unique applications that can radically change the face of the world. It is estimated that, currently, only about 50% of carbon nanotube material’s potential is tapped, and with the rapidly growing R&D activities around the world, various technological advancements in carbon nanotubes have been witnessed. Nanotubes have been playing a crucial role in technological advancements in various fields, including medicine, electronics, engineering, and various other applications. However, mass production of nanotubes in a cost-efficient way has always been a challenge. Innovations in developing robust and reliable production methods with proper control and measurement at an atomic scale have surfaced repeatedly. With reduced production time and cost, the nanotubes market have the potential for high growth in the near future.

The number of new tire plants and expansion projects has increased in various parts of the United States with South Carolina getting a high share of investments. South Carolina stood as the number one tire-producing state with an estimated daily production of 103,000 units, due to the expansions by Bridgestone Americas, Continental Tire, and Michelin. The tire market in North America is very competitive with continuous investments from major tire manufacturers. With the US automotive industry showing signs of future growth, the tire manufacturers are investing strategically to establish manufacturing sites close to their consumer locations. In 2017, replacement light truck tire shipments reached a high-water mark. There is a continuing competition for small farm tire market shares. This is a developing market, especially on the radial side.

Lenses are continuously evolving to accommodate the needs of video capture, sensors are emerging in new sizes and designs, and Wi-Fi connectivity is being enabled in cameras. While the fundamental laws of optics will not change, there is a lot more to a camera lens, than just the glass elements and the zooming features. Both electronics and mechanics play key roles in the performance of a camera. With the advent of contrast-based autofocus in interchangeable lens compacts, the lenses of these systems have developed more robust communications with the camera bodies.

Calcium bromide, zinc bromide, and sodium bromide are the derivatives of bromine, together referred to as clear brine fluids (CBFs). It is used in the oil and gas well drilling industry for solids-free completion, high-density, packer, and workover fluids. Clear brine fluids are majorly used to reduce the damage to the well bore and productive zone. The Clear Brine Fluids (CBFs) are used as drill-in fluids owing to various benefits, such as reducing bore-hole skin damage, reduce mechanical issues with respect to equipment and completion, cost effective and improved permeability, etc. Clear brine fluids are heavier than fresh water and obtained free of solids. Owing to this, it is mainly used in drilling processes. Since, it is a high-density fluids, which helps in preventing the migration of fluids between underground formations through the well bore.

The push for healthy living is the primary factor poised to drive the demand for health ingredients, like blueberries. Consumers today, prefer nutritional food to enhance overall health and wellbeing. Blueberries are also known for preventing cancer, as they contain vitamin C and vitamin A. Moreover, the various phytonutrients in blueberries function as powerful antioxidants that may help protect cells against damage from disease-linked free radicals. Thus, food and beverage manufacturers are increasingly incorporating healthy ingredients, like blueberry, in the form of powder, pieces in on-the-go snacks. However, increasing demand for snacks made using real fruits and vegetables is on the rise. Thus products, like blueberry fruit-based snacks, are gaining popularity among consumers across the world.

Biosolids provide an eco-friendly way of reducing the dependence on hazardous chemical fertilizers in agricultural applications. The application of these biosolids not only reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, but also enhances the agricultural output. Biosolids are a valuable source of nutrients, although they contain lower N (2–8%), P (1.5–3%), and K (0.1–0.6%), compared to commercial fertilizers, especially the high- grade ones. Biosolids provide micronutrients, including copper (Cu), boron (B), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and molybdenum (Mo), which are essential plant nutrients that are not available in most conventional chemical fertilizers. As more wastewater plants become capable of producing high-quality biosolids, there is greater opportunity to make use of this valuable resource to improve soil fertility and increase crop yield.

Biopsy is a sample collection process to identify the presence of disease-causing agents in a particular organ. Variety of biopsy procedures are available in the commercial disease diagnosis market, including conventional and advanced biopsy procedures. The report provides an in-depth analysis of the global biopsy devices market based on product, application, guiding technology, and end user. The report includes popularly used products in the market such as needle-based biopsy devices, biopsy forceps, localization wires, and other products. However, the report excludes the drugs used in the process of biopsy and any other device used during the cancer treatment process. Moreover, it does not include liquid biopsy products in the study.

Biometrics-as-a-Service facilitates cloud-based identification and authentication for an enterprise to identify an individual through their biological and behavioral characteristics. The technology offers multiple advantages such as easy implementation at any endpoint on the network, accessible from anywhere across the globe and reduced subscription costs. Rise in complex IoT landscape, growing number of cyber-attacks, and increase in demand for cost-efficient biometric solutions among different industry verticals and increase in the adoption of cloud-based biometrics are the factors that mainly drive the biometrics-as-a-service (BaaS) market growth. However, privacy concerns and security issues pertaining to the data stored on the cloud hinder the biometrics- as-a-service market growth. Moreover, advanced technology integrations in cloud-based biometric solutions and growing cloud industry in developing economies are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the biometrics-as-a-service industry during the forecast period.
