Inflight food is the food served to passengers on board by commercial airliners. They are prepared by specialist airline catering firm, and are normally served during the cruise to the passengers. Confectionery category has a comprehensive appeal in the travel sector. With the ban on LAGs (liquids, aerosols, and gels) and with an accumulative number of passengers using low-cost carriers, the growth of confectionary category in these carriers has significantly increased, to become one of the most critical categories in the industry.  The beverage segment comprises coffee, tea, hot chocolate, milk, cold-drink, and alcohol.

The availability of a wide range of lighting products at competitive prices, and the increasing demand for energy efficient lighting systems across various industrial sectors are driving the market growth. Industrial operators are often faced by challenges of maintenance costs, due to heat losses of the traditional and most common lighting fixtures in commercial and industrial settings, i.e., fluorescent and high-intensity discharge (HID) lights. LED lights that offer greater energy and cost savings, as well as low maintenance cost, have been witnessing high demand, since the past few years.

Currently, hydraulic motors are extensively used in construction, agriculture, and mining industries. They are commonly used in equipment skids, forklifts, bulldozers, excavators, heavy dump trucks, harvesters, combines etc.  Construction, agriculture, and mining industries employ heavy hydraulic motors, to drive the wheels for moving machines.  Moreover, motors are used for transmitting power to various attachments in machines. Hydraulic motors are employed in crushing equipment, where electric motors either trip or burn out during heavy loads. The key reasons for the adoption of hydraulic motors by the OEMs or distributors of agricultural, construction, and industrial equipment and parts, are high power density, elimination of gear boxes through the use of high torque low speed hydraulic drives, smooth operation, reliable and safe functions, simplified power accumulation/ retrieving system, and simplified control system design, such as a single pump for multiple actuators. Over a century, hydraulic motors were the key tools of choice for other applications, such as drill heads in the oil and gas industry, conveyor system, bucket wheel drive, feeders and dumpers, crushers and breakers in the material handling industry, winches and loaders and unloaders in the marine industry, and mineral, metal recycling, pulp and paper, food and rubber in processing and manufacturing units.

Biocon is developing Insulin Tregopil, an oral prandial insulin tablet, for the treatment of type-1 and type-2 diabetes mellitus. The fast-acting oral insulin could improve post-prandial glucose control with reduced side effects and greater adherence, thus holding the promise to transform T1D management.  Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc., a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development of oral drug delivery systems, is working toward bringing the first oral insulin product to the market, thus, providing a more convenient, effective, as well as a safer method for delivering insulin therapy.

With the evolution of user interfaces, gesture recognition has emerged as a practical solution for a significant number of applications. The challenge of using big and bulky phones, which incorporate long antennas, physical switches, and buttons, has been overcome by the use of advanced technology. With innovation, the touch-sensitive interaction was incorporated in trackpads, like the IBM Simon. Currently, the touchscreen interface of IBM Simon is an efficient and familiar interface for cellular phone users, around the world.

Food products, such as fruits, are highly heat sensitive. Their chemical composition, structure, texture, taste, and nutrient content changes drastically and quickly, when exposed to higher temperatures. Food preservation methods, such as drying, boiling, and smoking require high temperature exposure, which are not suitable for quickly perishable food items, such as fruits.

There is a wide variety of fruit and vegetable juices in varied packaging formats available across the world. This, in turn, attracts consumers to buy fruits juices based on their taste preference and convenience. Attractive and innovative packaging is considered as one of the best ways to pull new consumers and create a good demand. Convenient, single-serving, and portable features, along with better packaging are becoming important parameters for consumers to judge a brand and its offerings. Currently, many players are coming up with attractive and innovative packaging in their juices offerings. 

The global freeze-dried food market was valued at USD 54,548.2 million in 2018, and is expected to reach USD 85,306.2 million by 2024, registering a CAGR of 8.03%. The increasing consumer awareness about the ill-effects of artificial food additives used for food preservation is fueling the demand for natural and healthy food products. By type, the freeze-dried fruit market held the largest share in 2018, followed by the vegetable segment. The growth can be attributed to the increased demand for highquality and natural foods with higher nutrient content, which compliment the healthy lifestyles of consumers.

Moreover, the market has not seen any significant investment from any of the major players, due to which, the progress in developing a mass adoptable product has not materialized. The positive signs for this market have been the recent innovative progress made by institutes. This innovation has led to the opening up of new applications of this technology. Most recently, in March 2019, a group of researchers from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, and University of Cambridge, demonstrated flexible electronics' self-repairing capabilities.

Currently, there are three kinds of FinTech business models and structures in the United States. 1. The first model involves technology firms that provide financial services directly to customers through the use of mobile platforms and other innovations. They can be attractive to some customers, because they often have comparatively faster decision times for certain financial products. These FinTech firms do not rely on banks to deliver their products and services, and often compete directly with banks and other traditional financial institutions. 2. The second model covers banks and other traditional financial service providers that have adapted and developed FinTech solutions to improve the delivery of their financial services. Some of these banks are offering products comparable to those found at FinTech firms. Some banks are researching and developing financial technologies themselves, while others find it more convenient and cost effective to turn to their core processors, software providers, and other firms for such services.
