Coatings are products used to protect a surface and enhance its appearance. Nanocoatings are applied to infrastructure and buildings both residential and nonresidential. They protect buildings from elements such as moisture, UV radiation, and microbes. The acceptance of nanotechnology for different applications is expected to increase during the forecast period. This is because the technology can be used to address various performance and quality-based challenges that could not be resolved through other coatings. Nanocoating finds its applications for interior and exterior residential paintings, interior house furnishings, glass and facade coatings of tall buildings, coatings of automobile exterior and interior parts, and coating of various industrial buildings. Nanocoatings are also used for small applications in other industries such as electronics, consumer goods, and medical products.

The global motorcycle industry is two faced, where one segment is of highperformance motorcycles (considered as a luxury) and the other segment consist of two-wheelers used for commuting. Both these segments operate under contrast market dynamics with different customer behavior and value chain. The premium segment is witnessing a steady growth owing to growing culture of touring motorcycling in mature markets such as the US, Japan, and Western Europe.

The global manufacturing industry today has become intensely competitive. Reduction in manufacturing cost and in-process times have become the need of the hour. Multitasking machine tools were developed owing to the growing competition and the emphasis on cost reduction, which made it necessary to develop a production system that could produce a wide variety of components to cater to the fluctuations in demand while requiring smaller floor areas.

Movie theaters use digital technology to distribute or project motion pictures. They use digital projectors instead of conventional film projectors to project digital movies. Movie theaters are also being used for cinema advertising and promotional activities. The growth of the global movie theater market is mainly driven by the rising demand for high-quality movies.

Mobility scooters are electrically operated vehicles, which in recent times, are widely substituting the traditionally used mobility aids for older consumers and people with disabilities or medical conditions. Traditionally used mobility aids include manual and powered wheelchairs, rehab chairs, and rollators. Mobility scooters are primarily battery powered and come in 3-wheel or 4-wheel layouts. New generation mobility scooters are now also available in a 5-wheel layout. The fifth wheel in these vehicles is placed between the two front wheels and helps improve kerb handling. These scooters are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The term mobility scooter in this report refers to those mobility scooters that are powered by electricity via battery packs.

The global molecular spectroscopy market will grow at a rate of 6.25% during the forecast period, primarily due to an increase in the number of chronic diseases globally, which is driving the need for faster detection and drug development using molecular spectroscopy technologies such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Raman. Molecular spectroscopy technologies are increasingly being used in drug discovery and clinical testing processes owing to the rise of the global pharmaceutical industry.

Mobile value-added services (VAS) are user-friendly and convenient to use. These services help users save much time and effort. For instance, users can download music or videos, read news headlines, and book tickets at their convenience without the constraints of time and place. It becomes easier for end-users to search for a location, find directions, avail location-based advertising for their requirements, and find friends using location-enabled VAS.

Mobile tracking is the process of finding the position or location of a mobile device by GPS, Wi-Fi, or cellphone network. Mobile tracking software can track, monitor, and access location and information of a mobile device. The software also helps in monitoring the information exchanged between the applications in a cellphone. Cellphones provide an ideal platform for the creation, storage, and management of digital identity. They are a universal telecommunication medium. It is estimated that there will be 11.5 billion mobile connected devices by 2020.

Through mobile ticketing, customers purchase tickets using their smartphones or other mobile devices. There are a number of applications for mobile ticketing in the transportation sector including airline ticketing, transit ticketing, and metro/train ticketing. Mobile ticketing is an initiative to enhance the role of mobile phones in ticketing services. The use of mobile phones enables consumers to buy tickets and carry the tickets within the phone’s secure universal integrated circuit card.

Signal boosters are devices that provide strength to a weak signal by amplifying the carrier frequency signal. Due to the presence of numerous dead spots where there is no signal or very poor signal, there is a significant opportunity for the global mobile signal booster market as mobile signal boosters help wireless network providers to improve coverage in such areas and hence improve the quality of service.
