NVM technologies are silicon-based structures that are used in electronics since the 1990s. Ferroelectric field-effect transistor was considered to be the most promising technology for memory storage in devices despite the presence of conventional flash memory technology, but it had issues related to physical scaling of memory density. Currently, negative-AND (NAND) flash has become the most preferred option as memory storage device in smartphones and music players. NAND flash has gained high popularity over the years due to the associated benefits such as scaling up the production volumes and increasing the memory density per chip.

An MFP is an integrated device that can perform multiple functions like printing, scanning, and photocopying. Some MFPs also have fax functionality. However, the fax functionality is not considered as a norm for MFPs, as it is no longer popular in the document solutions market. MFPs are used in homes and offices (small offices to large enterprises) due to their vast applications in the field of document solutions. These MFPs are available in different sizes typically based on the print or photocopying requirement. For businesses, MFPs help to reduce capital costs and provide flexibility, as they eliminate the need for multiple devices and peripherals such as copiers, printers, and scanners in business environments.

The spending on discretionary products is expected to increase with the growing disposable income of consumers and the rising millennial population base, an attractive target group for consumer goods. During the forecast period, a key growth factor will be the compatibility of consumers with social and digital platforms. In addition, services such as free shipping and product returns that enhance consumer experience will also play a key role.

Laboratory equipment are used for conducting routine or experimental processes, including advanced workflows in research, quality assurance, and diagnostics. The two types of equipment of utmost importance for these processes include laboratory ovens and freezers.

A number of structural changes such as engine downsizing, electrification of automotive mechanisms, emission regulations, connectivity, and safety features have influenced the automotive industry over the past decade. Economic and regulatory environments and consumer confidence levels have a high impact on this industry.

In recent years, fast-paced urbanization has led to major changes in the lifestyles of people in both developed and developing countries. The rise in disposable income has led to an increase in per capita expenditure, which has, in turn, increased consumers' purchasing power and improved their living standards. Thus, the growing urbanization and per capita expenditure are major drivers contributing to the growth of the global household cleaning tools and supplies market.

Ion implantation is a major process carried out to introduce dopants in a semiconductor. Implanters bombard wafers with foreign atoms to modify material properties such as conductivity or crystal structure. The main part of an implanter system is the beam path, wherein the ions are generated, concentrated, accelerated, and passed at high speed to the wafer. The conductivity of semiconductor devices such as silicon, germanium, and III-VI compounds (e.g., gallium arsenate) is altered by doping them with n or p type dopants. Out of the two methods used for doping semiconductors, diffusion and ion implantation, the diffusion was the most preferred method before the 1970s. However, doping processes by ion implantation are being preferred for IC fabrication currently.

The global hot plate stirrer market will grow steadily at a rate of 6.07% during the forecast period. This is primarily due to the expansion and increase in the number of research and testing facilities worldwide that use laboratory instruments like hot plate stirrers. Also, there is an increase in the number of applications where magnetic stirrers like hot plate stirrers are employed. Hot plate stirrers are widely used in the applications such as heating and stirring of samples in the pharmaceutical industry, and practical science demonstration and experimentation in schools and universities (academic research). These are also increasingly employed in quality control (QC) testing and sample preparation in a broad range of industrial applications. In addition, globally, end-users are upgrading to obtain benefits and advantages offered by the 2017-2021 latest hot plate stirrers or on the compulsion of governing bodies to use latest hot plate stirrers to meet the safety standards.

A memory module may be described as a printed circuit board, on which memory integrated circuits are mounted. These modules permit easy installation and replacement in electronic systems, especially computers such as PCs, workstations, and servers

Globally, lighting accounts for 10%-35% of the total energy bills, which are substantial. Need for energy efficiency in street lighting has been increasing due to rising energy prices and changing climate. This has led to increased adoption of energy-efficient technologies such as light-emitting diode (LED) to replace older street lighting models that use a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) or halogen. The typical cost of a street lighting system for a period of 25 years is approximately split as 85% for maintenance, which includes power supply and replacement cost, and 15% of installation cost. Power prices have continuously increased, and the trend is expected to continue owing to urbanization. The urbanization is leading to the development of new roads, requiring additional street light, thereby increasing the power consumption.
