The shelf-life of tomato seeds is up to four years, if stored in suitable conditions. The absence of proper storage conditions and treatments make the seed highly perishable. Tomato seeds need controlled atmospheric conditions, which should be moisture proof as seeds become dormant and fail to germinate. Developing countries are expected to face a severe problem, where infrastructure for storage and transportation of seeds is not efficient.

Thin-film photovoltaic module is considered to be a breakthrough in solar technology, and is rapidly increasing its share in the solar power sector. The thin-film (TF) solar panels consist of solar cells with light absorbing layers, which are more than 350 times smaller than a standard silicon panel. They are considered to be the lightest PV cells, owing to their narrow design and efficient semiconductor built into the cells.

In the market studied, major raw materials include fluoropolymers and silicone resins. These materials are essentially dispersed in binders, including fluoropolymer and urethane. Furthermore, nanoparticles, such as titanium dioxide, cerium oxide, and silicon dioxide, are a part of the process. The techniques used for manufacturing coatings are conventional, with no special equipment or process. However, the production process of raw materials is complex, and requires highly sophisticated equipment and process technology. This increases the cost of raw materials. Sourcing of raw materials is easier, owing to the abundant availability of petrochemical industries. Additionally, in the market studied, various research activities are in progress, primarily to develop superhydrophobic coatings from natural sources, such as plant-based filler materials, like lycopodium and cellulose. These plant-based filler materials are free from silanes and fluorine.

As of 2019, brands, such as Paula’s choice, Colorescience’s, and Brush On Block have introduced a set of shielding powdered sunscreen, with an SPF content of 30 and 50. Powdered sun screens are a relatively new innovation, and they offer a convenient, less messy alternative to the standard liquid sun protection. This sunscreen gives a light-feel, and has the ability to replace the current set of available sun care products.

Spirulina consists of a diverse group of plant containing chloroplast eukaryotes, which can grow in the sea and also in fresh water. Various factors are considered while cultivating spirulina, as different species of spirulina constitute of different composition of essential molecules and this species of spirulina are selected depending upon end application requirement. Spirulina is a source of various essential ingredients, such as omega3 fatty acid, fibers, flavonoid, polyunsaturated fatty acids, minerals, and others. The subspecies of spirulina such as Arthrospira platensis and Arthrospira maxima are used as an ingredient or formulated product. Whereas, beta carotene, astaxanthin, and others are present in the form of molecules in parent species. The scope of the study is intended to discuss the upcoming and present market trends of spirulina products. In addition, this report details current market trends, drivers, restraints, and opportunities and determines the future growth potential of the global spirulina products market.

The smart grid provides technologies that improve fault detection and enables self-healing of the network automatically after the power disturbances. It thus provides an extraordinary opportunity for the economy as well as the environment by providing reliable and efficient power supply through various smart grid applications and technologies. Smart grids are useful in power grid modernization process as they result in reduced transmission and distribution losses. Meter data management systems (MDMS), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), demand response management (DRM), distribution management system (DMS) and several other such software support smart grid technology. This technology manages the demand and supply for electricity along with continuous data exchange through networking, data storage, information analytics and data & information management. This system opens wide-ranging opportunities for energy conservation and efficient operations.
