Trucks in Europe account for nearly 22% of vehicular emissions, while making up less than 5% of the total vehicles on the road. Nearly 6.3 million trucks are in use on the EU roads. Among them, nearly 96% run on diesel, about 1% run on petrol, and rest of the trucks run on other fuel types. In May 2018, the European Commission presented a legislative proposal for setting up the first ever CO2 emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles. A provisional agreement was reached on the same, in February 2019. As a first step, these standards are proposed for large lorries, which account for 65-70% of all emissions from heavy-duty vehicles.

Good nutrition is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Nutrition also focuses on preventing or reducing diseases, conditions, and problems with a healthy diet. Combining physical activities and a nutritional diet can help to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, reduce the risk of chronic diseases (like heart disease, cancer, neurological and others), and promote overall health. The lack of proper nutrition due to unhealthy eating habits has adverse effects on health and cause diseases like diabetes, obesity, and other severe health issues.

The distribution and manufacturing of insulin are carried out by very few multinational companies outside the recognized biosimilar manufactures, and a handful of small companies are developing insulin manufacturing abilities built upon up-to-date biotechnological methods, in turn, enhancing the growth and increasing the size of the insulin market. Biosimilars are estimated to cost 20-30% less than their originator drug. Therefore, they offer lower cost alternatives, with the potential to expand market competition and increase access to treatment. A recent report estimated that healthcare systems in the European Union (EU) could save up to USD 110 billion by using biosimilars. The ever rising number of producers who are developing biosimilar insulin may help deliver clinical aid, as compared to the ones currently available for insulin analogs, at a very affordable price.

Wellness programs have evolved from nice-to-have components in the benefits plan of companies to a universal norm ingrained in the modern corporate work culture. Companies are going the extra yard to incorporate these programs as a low-cost means to battle stress and sickness of employees and improve overall health and wellbeing. The result is a happier and healthier workforce that is marked by low absence and disability claims, thereby improving efficiency and strengthening business performance. Based on the rationale that these programs can reduce the unsustainable healthcare costs that plague the US workforce, corporate wellness platforms have witnessed a rapid ascent post the 1990s. Corporate wellness programs are offering a plethora of activities and services and vary in terms of their designs.

CAD, also known as coronary heart disease (CHD) or simply heart disease, develops when coronary arteries that supply blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the heart become damaged or diseased. Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque formation) narrows the coronary arteries and decrease the blood flow to the heart, causing CAD. The decreased blood flow to the heart may cause angina and shortness of breath. Complete blockage of blood flow can lead to heart attack and permanent damage to the heart muscles. Further, over a period of time, CAD also weakens the heart muscles, leading to heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms called arrhythmias.

Motorcycle is one of the preferred personal means of transport in the country and has been one of the pillars of the economy. During 2012-2016, the scooter sales in the country decreased, due to changing policy regarding vehicles and certain cities restricting the entry of motorcycles. Currently, the market studied is shifting toward quality and product differentiation. One of the principal reasons is that some laws and regulations have been implemented to limit the traffic of motorcycles in large cities, in order to avoid accidents with the speed of those types of vehicles. Additionally, with the changing lifestyle and improved living standards, Chinese people are more attracted to e-bikes and mini-cars.

Following the collapse of the communism and the centrally planned economy, big international companies entered the Hungarian the food and beverage sector in the 1990s via acquisitions of stateowned firms and greenfield investments. As a result, at present the foreign presence in the sector is relatively high with foreign companies accounting for about half of the production of the sector. The segments that are to a large extent dominated by foreign players are highly concentrated, such as soft drinks and beer. Other segments, such as bakery, pasta, milling and poultry production, are highly fragmented with no dominant players and a large presence of domestic-owned players.

There are several on-going projects in private sector companies, in the end-user segment, such as oil and gas, mining, and construction. As a result, the metal fabrication industry in Canada is not expected to witness a sudden surge, and remain stable over the next few years. The industry is highly fragmented due the presence of a large number of small- and medium-sized companies.  Metal fabrication is expected to have a large scope in end-user segments, such as oil and gas, mining, construction, aerospace, power generation, and ship building.  The reshoring of various manufacturing activities in Canada had a positive impact on the steel fabrication industry in the country. Automotive companies and other manufacturing companies that require fabricated steel products have been outsourcing majority of their businesses to low-cost countries, like China. Government initiatives and increasing labor cost in low-cost countries, in comparison to Canada, have attracted the manufacturers to shift production to Canada.  Majority of the metal fabrication companies in Canada have been adhering to the traditional manufacturing practices, and the adoption of advanced technologies in the industry has been very low.

Healthcare, retail, banking and insurance, mining, and public sectors are investing significantly in digitalization of their business operations. Digital transformation initiatives are likely to add over $100 billion to the Australian GDP by 2025 . Government agencies are taking initiative to digitize several sectors. For instance, the Australian government is investing around $30 billion on high-speed internet access in multiple cities across the continent. The Department of Health invested $1.4 billion to provide registries, biobanks, and linkage platforms to manage healthcare data.
