Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a growing nuclear medicine imaging technique high adopted in applications such as oncology, neurology, cardiology, and infectious diseases. Standalone SPECT systems contribute the highest revenue in the market as they are one of the oldest imaging modalities available in the market. However, due to the advent of hybrid SPECT systems, the growth rate of standalone SPECT systems is expected to be moderate during the forecast period.

The first mirrors used by humans was water, collected in primitive vessels or simply dark pools of still water. Until the manufacture of the modern mirror, humans used mirrors made from polished obsidian and stones and polished metals. Despite the changes in the manufacturing of mirrors, their functionality has not changed much. They are simple reflective surfaces that are used for grooming, decoration, and in interrogation rooms.

Spectroscopy is the study of interactions between matter (atom or mass) and electromagnetic radiation. It involves the study of different spectrums of light like infrared, ultraviolet, and visible. A spectrometer is an apparatus that measures spectrum and then accordingly calculates the wavelength, frequency, energy, momentum, and mass of the material. The three main parameters that are measured by a spectrometer are:

Steel long products include several forms of long and heavy steel goods, which are made as per application requirements. The global steel long products market is growing at a stable rate and will experience a steady growth in the near future. The growing construction industry, with increasing number of construction projects, is propelling the market demand for steel long products. The increasing investment in the construction sector and infrastructure developments in developing countries will impact the global steel long products market positively.

Surge protection devices are used in electrical installation protection systems. This equipment is designed to prevent the flow of excess voltage into the circuit. Whenever there is a flow of overvoltage, the surge protection device transmits the excess current flow to the earth and thus protects the electrical appliance.

A system on chip (SoC) is a microchip with all the necessary electronic circuits and components that make a complete system. It is an integration of multiple cores like a microprocessor, digital signal processor, RAM, ROM, flash memory, oscillators, timers, external interfaces, power management circuits, and analog components onto a single chip.

The increasing consumer demand for branded toys and games, the growing willingness of parents to spend more on such products, and the rising per capita disposable income are some of the factors leading to an increase in the demand for toys and games globally.

The tunnel boring and rock drilling machines are used to excavate holes for tunnels through different kinds of soil and difficult rocky terrains as an alternative to conventional blasting methods. Machines operate effectively by reducing the disturbance to the ground while boring through any difficult terrain. Typically, a tunnel boring and rock drilling machine comprise a rotating cutting wheel, followed by the main bearing, trailing support mechanisms, and a thrust system. Based on the geographic terrain of the region, different types of tunnel boring and rock drilling machine are used. As the machine functions smoothly, it is majorly used in highly urbanized areas to complete drilling work in less time. However, the upfront cost involved to assemble the equipment and difficulties experienced while transporting them across different sites is one of the main drawbacks of the tunnel boring machine (TBM).

An EV is powered by an electric motor for propulsion. It uses a battery to store energy, which is supplied to the electric motor through a controller. The controller regulates the energy flow from the battery to the electric motor based on the power requirement. EVs can primarily be classified into battery electric vehicles (BEV) or plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) and extended-range electric vehicle (EREV). BEV/PEV are pure electric vehicles that are powered by batteries through an electric motor system. They can be charged by plugging into an external power source as well as through regenerative breaking.

The global visual content market is expected to experience a moderately high growth (CAGR of 7.86%) during the forecast period. The market was dominated by North America in 2016, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), and rest of the world (ROW).
