It has led to a sharp increase in the implementation of hand hygiene precautionary measures among end-users worldwide.

The value chain of farm tires market is characterized by the presence of raw material manufacturers/suppliers, tire manufacturers, suppliers/distributors, and end users. The major raw material used in tire manufacturing is rubber – natural as well as synthetic. Liquid latex is mixed with acids which causes the raw rubber to solidify. Other raw materials involved in manufacturing tires include carbon black, which is obtained from crude oil or natural gas; sulfur; and several other chemicals. Rubber and carbon black providers form the first stage of the value chain. Rubber suppliers are mainly companies involved in the production of tire and other rubber products. Some of these raw material suppliers include Sinopec Corporation, SIBUR, JSR Corporation, and Cabot Corporation. Suppliers sign long-term contracts with those involved in the manufacturing of tires to ensure constant demand while tire manufacturers sign long-term contracts with raw materials suppliers to ensure a constant supply.

Changes in technology transform the customer's experience and human interactions. As customers are increasingly relying on smartphones and the convenience of information available to them through a large number of websites, their needs along with their expectations have altered. People much connected to their smart devices compared to any being. Thus, there is always a sense fear of phone becoming dead or drying up of the battery. In addition, carrying of the wired charger and always looking for a charging point is also very cumbersome and embarrassing at the time. According to a famous phrase.” Necessity is the mother of invention”, wireless technology was developed. Though the technology is very old but has become very popular in the last decade.

The global next generation refrigerant market is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period (2018-2023). Refrigerants are a major product used for the proper functioning of various applications, such as air conditioning systems, refrigeration, and heat pumps, which are a necessity for consumers. The next generation refrigerants are defined as the refrigerants that do not affect the environment negatively and have minimal or zero ODP and GWP. According to American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) code, R-717, R-744, R-600a, R-1270, R-1234yf, and R-1234ze, among others, are considered next generation refrigerants.

Many telecom operators around the world have maintained their core businesses while exploring other opportunities either through geographic expansion or exploring new technologies, applications or service offerings. These changing business models were first adopted by many of the telecoms operators out of necessity - whether because of dwindling revenues; saturated markets; rising competition from OTT players or due to a need to keep pace with the staggering amount of change occurring in our ICT sector. Some of these new ventures have been more successful than others. For example, we see that some of the large telecoms operators have been withdrawing from operating their own data centres in recent years due to the high costs and time required to run them. There has been mixed success with e-health initiatives as well. The telecoms operators need to remember their core business is supplying infrastructure and there are still many opportunities available in this regard.

The Asia Pacific regional market is expected to witness a strong growth over the forecast period, owing to the increasing demand for voice technology in the Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
