PH sensors and analyzers are an integral part of the process analytics industry. Most of the industries that engage in manufacturing and processing of liquids, ranging from water to complex chemicals, use pH sensors for quality monitoring and automation of several industrial processes. According to Endress+Hauser, a leading provider of pH sensors in the global market, pH measurements account for over 30% of all quality-relevant measurements in processes. Moreover, an economic survey conducted by the Association of German Chambers of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) indicates growing global investment in the process analytics industry, which is primarily triggered by concrete business developments in the key sales markets.

The research process adopted for this study is a highly structured, two-stage process: size estimation of the review period and the market engineering for the forecast period, of the global-, country-, and segment-level data, which leads to the data generation process (DGP) for the studied variables. The size estimations are carried out through multiple bottom-up and top-down approaches. The bottom-up approach includes the examining of historical revenues of key players, studying the size of the applications, value and supply chain analysis, and end-user demand, which are then cross-validated against secondary and primary resources.

The UAE architectural paints and coatings market report is segmented based on resin type, construction type, and technology.  There are five different types of resins considered in the resin type segment, namely, acrylic, alkyd, polyurethane, epoxy, and other resin types.  Based on the construction type, the market has been segmented into residential and non-residential construction.

Smart STBs are making their presence in the nearly saturated global STB market and is expected to witness rapid growth during the forecast period. Consumers’ changing preferences to adopt technologically advanced equipment and rising internet penetration with improving wireless communication is mainly driving the market for smart STBs. The improving economic growth, coupled with the rising disposable income and living standards globally are the other factors that are fueling market growth. Smart appliances are also more energy-efficient than traditional ones. Governments around the world are pushing for the adoption of smarter appliances to reduce the overall energy consumption of household devices.

Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) sensors, due to the advantages such as accuracy, reliability, in addition to scope for making smaller electronic devices, have gained a significant traction in the past few years. Industrial automation and demand for miniaturized consumer devices such as wearables, IoT connected devices etc., across regions are among the major factors driving the MEMS pressure sensors market. Automotive industry, which is presently undergoing technology transition with a major focus on increasing the safety, comfort and entertainment provides ample opportunities for MEMS pressure sensors. Emerging sensor-rich applications such as autonomous vehicles, drones and AR/VR equipment are further accelerating the need for MEMS pressure sensors.

Lawn mowers are one of the most used garden equipment for grass cutting and lawn mowing. Based on their usage, these machines are divided into various categories, the simplest being walk-behind mowers, ride on mowers, and the robotic lawn mowers. Robotic lawn mowers are autonomous robots used to mow lawns, yards, gardens, parks, golf courses, and other commercial properties. The current models of many robotic lawn mower brands require a border wire to be set up around the lawn. This border wire defines the area to be mowed by the mower. The mower uses this wire to mow lawns and locate its recharging dock. However, vendors such as ZCS has come up with models which are ready-to-use without installation and do not need perimeter wire for navigation. These lawn mowers are self-docking and are increasingly sophisticated. They also contain rain sensors, highly advanced GPS tracking system and navigation technology, and anti-theft alarms. There are some models that adapt their programming by detecting the growth rate of grass as needed to maintain the lawn.

The Cloud adoption in Netherlands is above European Union averages of about 26%. Over 90% of Netherland private enterprises and 85% of public enterprises adopted cloud productivity applications in 2018. Large enterprises are aggressively moving to the cloud platform. Around 80% of organizations in the Netherlands use Software as a service (SaaS) as preferred type of cloud service. Manufacturing and financial services industries contribute majorly toward the cloud adoption. It is expected that over 70% of enterprises in the Netherlands will adopt cloud services during the forecast period.

New Zealand observed a steep growth in the Logistics Performance Index from 2016, ranking 34, to 2018, ranking 15th, among 163 countries. The growth in the logistics performance index is observed due to the improving customs clearance systems, international shipments, and logistics quality over the previous year. The international shipments have improved due to the increasing ecommerce cross-border volume. Ecommerce is a major contributor to the growth of the logistics industry in the country. Furthermore, the development of technology in the logistics industry has helped it improve the logistics quality, competence, and tracing and tracking abilities.

In a clinical laboratory, clinical pathology tests are carried out on collected clinical specimens, for obtaining information about the patient’s health, in order to aid in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases. The role of good quality management system is highly important to meet the international standards. This market in Nigeria is mainly driven by the growing burden of chronic diseases and increasing demand for accurate disease diagnosis, along with the government’s focus on public-private partnerships. However, factors, such as lack of medical laboratories, advanced diagnostic equipment, and inadequately trained laboratory staff are restraining the market’s growth.

In the recent times, the Norwegian oil and gas sector has witnessed major changes across the exploration, development, and production sector. The exploration sector is witnessing major setback, after the biggest party in the country’s parliament withdrew its support for exploration drilling around the Lofoten islands in the Arctic Circle. Around 1-3 billion barrel of crude oil is estimated to be present beneath the island. Upstream companies see drilling in the Lofoten islands as crucial for maintaining petroleum production level, in the coming years.
