Styrenic block copolymers (SBC) are used extensively in the footwear industry. A rising demand for more comfort, new models, and lifestyle trends are, in turn, spurring the demand for the footwear industry, globally. The footwear industry in China has witnessed a major growth in the recent years, owing to the high demand for sports footwear. Moreover, sports footwear is strongly supported by the government policies that have been promoting healthy lifestyle. By 2021, the Chinese mainland footwear market is likely to be worth around CNY 487.4 billion, from CNY 381.9 billion in 2017.

The sunglass industry is majorly catering the fashion segment, where consumer preference in opting a sunglass is mostly inclusive of fashion, enhancing the facial aesthetics, brand value, and effective social media marketing/affluence. Traditional eye wear collections are more and more closely tied with ready-to- wear eye gear which includes expression through colors, shapes, and embellishments. The major global players operating in the fashion industry are branching out their accessories, such as handbags, shoes, etc. that go along with the eyewear. Celebrities and fashion leaders are largely brand savvy and are more inclined to sunglasses that are eye catching and carries the attention of people. Unique styles also known as “talking pieces” are easily linked to fashion. However, easy-to-wear iconic styles, such as aviators, cat eyes, retro, and wayfarer, are expected to last in this fast-growing market.

Interest in thermoplastic matrix composites has increased in recent years, owing to several advantages of these materials, including high volume process ability, recyclability, superior damage tolerance and fracture toughness, and ability to produce complex shapes. These composites found applications in different modes of transportation from cars to underground trains. Among thermoplastic composites, long-fiber thermoplastics (LFTs) are finding increased use in the overall transportation sector. The automotive industry has long struggled with high fuel prices, and vehicle OEMs and suppliers generally lead the transportation industry by using thermoplastic composites to reduce vehicle mass. Due to increasingly stringent emission regulations, automotive manufacturers are aiming to reduce the weight of vehicles, as it helps in saving a noticeable amount of carbon dioxide emissions. A 10 kilogram weight reduction is estimated to reduce 1 gram of carbon dioxide per kilometer.

In poultry, thiochemicals are majorly used in the form of methyl mercaptan, which is used in the production of methionine. Methionine is mainly used for animal nutrition in poultry animals. The rising demand for poultry meat is expected to drive the market for thiochemicals in the coming years. Poultry meat consumption is driving the total meat production growth, in response to expanding global demand for this more affordable animal protein in comparison to red meats. Factors, such as low production costs and lower product prices, are influencing poultry as the meat of choice in developing countries.

The report provides market dynamics and trends related to the global urinary self-catheter market. In addition, it presents the market estimations and forecast of the market. The study estimates the revenue generated from the sales of urinary self-catheter and not included urinary self-catheter service revenue. The valuations comprise revenue generated from urinary self-catheter, which are available as intermittent catheter and external catheter. Male type catheter and female type catheter are considered during market estimation. Furthermore, the report also excludes revenue generated from post-sale services of urinary self-catheter.

One of the major factors driving the market studied is the high prevalence of urologic conditions all over the world. The fact that kidney and urinary tract diseases account for about 830,000 deaths and 18,467,000 disability-adjusted life years annually, making it the12th leading cause of deaths, have majorly led to an increased demand in the equipment used in urological treatments.

The global vertical farming market was valued at USD 1,922.1 million in 2018, and is projected to reach USD 3,031 million by 2014, while registering a CAGR of 8.4% during the forecast period. By growth mechanism, hydroponics had the highest share, accounting for 51.3% of the global vertical farming market, in 2018. However, aquaponics is expected to register the fastest growth, witnessing a CAGR of 8.8%, during the forecast period. Shrinking per capita agricultural land and rapid pace 1 of development of precision farming technologies are expected to drive the market growth, while, limitation on types of crops grown and high initial investments can restrain the growth of the market.

The video sur veillance system have evolved from using analog sur veillance cameras and recording devices, which recorded videos on tape through VCR’s (videocassette recorders), to fully digital network-based video sur veillance system. These systems use high quality, high definition network cameras to record and store videos on servers, clouds, or DVRs (digital video recorders). DVRs have made it possible to record videos digitally. Powered with an Ethernet port, it further became possible to transmit digital videos over long distances. Some early DVR systems provided networking and monitoring at the same time, while others simply enabled monitoring of the network transmitted videos.

Wafer backgrinding is an integrated process in the fabrication of semiconductor devices. Prior to the process of backgrinding, wafers are laminated by different type of backgrinding tapes to avoid surface damage in the process of backgrinding and also protect from the wafer surface contamination caused by infiltration of grinding fluid. Minimization of various semiconductor components requires the use of wafer backgrinding significantly. Therefore, with technological advancement and usage of more compact & portable devices, backgrinding has become crucial stage of wafer designing & integration. Thus, importance of wafer backgrinding in the fabrication of semiconductor requires wafer backgrinding tape for protecting wafer’s surface, which in turn fuels the market growth.

Hearing loss or hearing impairment is one of the growing health concerns worldwide. It is one of the most common health conditions affecting millions of people around the world. In this type of medical condition, the individual loses his/her ability to hear completely or partially. This medical condition can affect either one ear or both the ears, leading to difficulty in hearing loud sounds or conversational speech. Hearing loss can have far-reaching implications to both the affected person as well as their closer ones.
