Money laundering is a worldwide issue. The reason for criminals to launder their illegal funds is that they can later use this money in the markets without any hindrance and without the fear of it being tracked. Laundering prevents the funds from being confiscated by the police. In money laundering, once the funds are deposited in a foreign bank, they can be moved through accounts of shell corporations that exist mainly for laundering purposes. The high volume of wire transfers daily makes it difficult for law enforcement agencies to trace these transactions.

Automotive leaf spring suspension is an arc-shaped spring steel mainly used in heavy commercial vehicles. It can be attached either at the rear or front of the vehicles to provide suspension.Based on application, the automotive leaf spring suspension market is segmented into LCVs, M&HCV trucks, and M&HCV buses.The automotive leaf spring suspension market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.53% during the forecast period. APAC is the biggest market for leaf spring suspension systems mainly due to the high penetration of these devices in the M&HCVs segment in countries such as China and India.

Intelligent tire technology consists of a feedback microchip which sends data about the road, weather, tire pressure, tire tread wear, and a host of other parameters to the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU). This data enables the ECU to automatically refine the vehicle’s longitudinal and lateral control algorithms to deliver an enhanced driving performance.The intelligent tire technology improves the overall performance of a car. This includes reducing the stopping distances when the anti-lock braking system (ABS)

kicks in. It also provides greater stability due to a more informed electronic stability control (ESC) system.

The automotive glass market comprises glasses used in windshields and in the side and rear windows of a vehicle. Laminated glass is used for the manufacturing of windshields whereas tempered glass is used for the manufacturing of side and rear windows.Based on application type, the market is segmented into passenger cars, LCVs, and M&HCVs.The global automotive glass market is growing proportionally to the sales of vehicles sold each year. The report focuses on the current scenario and the future prospects of the global automotive glass market for the period 2017-2021. To calculate the market size, the report considers the number of original equipment (OE) vehicles sold in different regions. The aftermarket sales volume of automotive glass units has not been considered in this report.

A fuel tank refers to a storage tank containing inflammable fluids. The fuel is stored and released in the form of pressurized gas into the engine.The global automotive fuel tank market is categorized according to the type of vehicles. The market is primarily divided into passenger cars (PCs), light commercial vehicles (LCVs), and medium and heavy commercial vehicles (M&HCVs) segments.The global automotive fuel tank market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.04% during the forecast period. The increasing demand for SUVs and crossovers in China and Europe will increase the sales of passenger cars and drive the global automotive fuel tank market during the forecast period. Lightweighting of passenger cars to achieve better fuel economy will lead to an increase in adoption of plastic fuel tanks, which will

help in reducing vehicle weight.

To calculate the market size,the report considers the global sales volume of commercial vehicles and passenger cars. Geographically, the market is divided into APAC, the Americas, and EMEA. In addition, the report discusses the major drivers that influence the growth of the market.It also outlines the challenges faced by the operators and the market at large, as well as the emerging trends. The aftermarket sales of disc brake units have not been considered in the report.

Collapsible steering column consists of two hollow shafts with the smaller shaft placed inside the other. The two shafts are fitted into each other with the help of bearings and sealing. This design structure allows the steering column to collapse during a frontal impact and absorbs the energy of impact.The collapsible steering column is a part of vehicle’s passive safety system and is developed to reduce the risk of injuries to the driver during front collisions. The general principle of the collapsible steering column is similar to that of a traditional steering column, transferring the motion of steering wheels to ground wheels through steering gearbox, with an exception of the structural design.

LFPs (also known as wide-format printers) are printers that support maximum print roll width of 18 inches to 100 inches. The major areas where LFPs find application include print banners, posters, backdrop for theaters, constructional designs, and different other large-format artworks. Most of the LFPs available currently are based on inkjet printing technology. Aqueous, solvent, dye sublimation, UV, and pen/plotters are the technologies used to transfer ink in LFPs. Advances in technology across different components of LFPs, such as ink and working mechanism, are the factors that have enhanced their efficiency and productivity. The global LFPs market is witnessing an increase in demand from application areas, such as advertising, textile, and vehicle wraps, and these are expected to be the key factors driving the market growth during the forecast period.

Adaptive optics technology helps improve the performance of optical systems by decreasing the effect of wavefront distortions. The deformations in the incoming wavefront are corrected by adaptive optics by deforming a mirror to compensate the distortion. 

Acoustic devices have been in commercial use for more than 60 years. The telecom industry is the largest consumer of acoustic devices, accounting for 3 billion filters of acoustic sensors annually. These acoustic sensors are used primarily in mobile phones and base stations.
