VLC is a wireless technology that uses light emanated from LED bulbs in order to provide a network for high-speed communication parallel to Wi-Fi. This has led to it also being known as Li-Fi. Visible light spectrum is 10,000 times larger than radio frequency spectrum, and it is considered as an answer to the bandwidth limitations of radio frequency.The growth of the global VLC market is driven by several factors. One of the major drivers is the availability of high bandwidth, which ensures high data rate and data transfer. The congestion of RF spectrum is creating a demand for alternative sources of wireless technology such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and ZigBee. The other drivers in the market are the efficiency and security offered by VLC systems, the visible light spectrum offering unlicensed use and high speed, and the fact that it is safe and applicable in almost all environments.

VR is a computer generated 3D environment, which engages the user in the virtual world by interacting with it. The user will be completely engaged in the environment and will be able to play around with virtual objects and also execute a series of actions.

Augmented reality (AR) AR technology helps in blending the digital content with the physical world. Computer generated images are displayed by it in the user's field of vision, and relevant information about the objects is provided in the real world. The user can scan the physical real world environment and get an enhanced or augmented experience by adding virtual computer-generated information.

Virtual events are online exhibitions that include breakout sessions, video conferencing, web conferencing, collaboration tools, communication,and social networking. They are used in various sectors such as education, healthcare,hospitality, and finance and banking. Virtual events can be enabled on smartphones,desktops, laptops, and tablets. They can be used to announce the launch of new

products, provide additional information to people, and obtain new vendors. The exhibit below represents the differences between physical events and virtual events.The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global virtual events market for the period 2017-2021. 

Virgin coconut oil is different from normal coconut oil primarily in terms of the extraction process. Virgin coconut oil is extracted from coconut milk obtained from fresh coconut while normal coconut oil is extracted by cold compression with a moisture content of

around 6%. The extraction of virgin coconut oil does not involve heat treatment. Virgin coconut oil tastes and smells like fresh coconuts and is not refined. Virgin coconut oil is effective as a moisturizing agent as its antioxidant properties are far better than those of normal coconut oil.Virgin coconut oil has higher vitamin content, antioxidants, minerals, medium chain fatty acids, and protein content than normal coconut oil. The shelf life of virgin coconut oil is also longer than any other edible oil and it also does not go rancid easily. Owing to the presence of high amounts of lauric acid and capric acid, virgin coconut oil is also being considered for the treatment of AIDS.In this Technavio report, we have covered the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global virgin coconut oil market for 2016-2020.

Video surveillance is the process of monitoring or observing the activities, behavior, or movements of an individual or a group to provide enhanced security. It is used by retail stores, government departments, hospitals, transportation and logistics companies,

and law enforcement agencies to prevent criminal activities. Integration of the video surveillance solutions gives a centralized method for the enterprises to enhance their surveillance capabilities.During the past ten years, video surveillance solutions have changed in line with the advances in technology. The biggest development during the period was the shift from video home system (VHS) to DVD and high-resolution video. With the increased adoption of high-resolution video standards, there has been a huge demand for data storage.

The existing pharmacological treatment options for chronic pain, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease (PD), and depression may not be effective for people at different stages of treatment. In the US alone, about 5.1 million people were diagnosed with epilepsy or seizure disorder in 2013. Though the existing options like drug therapy, physiotherapy,and surgeries are effective in treating these disorders, but they do not suit for the entire patient population. Neurostimulation is a potential alternative for individuals who do not respond to drug therapy or surgeries.In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the global VNS market for 2016-2021 (base year: 2016; forecast end year: 2021).

Vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) are high-performing, ultra-thin insulants. They enhance energy efficiency and space benefits for home appliances, refrigerated transportation systems, temperature-controlled packaging, and other applications.The global VIPs market is segmented based on core materials into silica, fiberglass,and others (powder based, recycled material, polyurethanes, and other polymers);by end-user into construction, logistics (transportation and packaging), cooling and freezing devices, and others (other end-users include appliances, industrial and automotive applications); and by region into APAC, North America, Europe, and ROW.

The global vacuum generators market for industrial robots will be significantly impacted by the growth dynamics in the industrial robot market as well as the developments in the overall manufacturing sector. The market is expected to witness a CAGR of 8.35% during the forecast period.
