Product innovation leads the manufacturers of home appliance products to invest a large amount in R&D. For instance, in 2015, Philips’ R&D efforts and marketing dollars put into its Philips Smart Purifier brand helped it to win back the millennial(age group 16-34 years) American consumers who had moved away from the category. The manufacturer also hopes innovations with activated carbon technology will pull in even more young consumers.Developed countries such as the US and the UK present relatively mature markets for home appliances. While these markets are subject to product innovation and subsequent product launches to gain a competitive edge, developing countries like China, Brazil, Russia, and India also now have a significant share in the global market. Therefore, the key vendors are increasingly focusing their attention on these countries. For instance, Philips expanded its business in the markets of both Brazil and China in 2015.Adoption of awareness programs and marketing campaigns are the major strategies for the global manufacturers of air purifiers to cater to the developing

markets such as China, Brazil, India, South Africa, Turkey, and Malaysia. For instance, in 2014, Philips launched a digital awareness campaign for its air purifier lines through a dedicated website, Facebook app, and social media such as YouTube, to spread the awareness of indoor air pollution and need for residential air purifiers in China and India.

In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the global remote input/output (I/O) modules market for 2017-2021. The report also presents the vendor landscape and a corresponding detailed analysis of the top four vendors operating in the market. To calculate the market size, we consider revenue generated from sales and aftermarket services of remote I/O modules.I/O modules connect field devices, such as sensors and actuators, to controllers. Local I/O modules are generally hardwired to devices. Remote I/O modules are connected to I/O devices through a bus/network.

The innovation in dispensing systems in terms of aesthetic design as well as technology is augmenting the global kegerators market’s growth. Technology enables manufacturers to launch travel-size kegerators that are portable and work with same efficiency level as a regular kegerator does. ManCan is a popular brand of travel-size kegerators that are available in two different capacities: one gallon

(128 oz.) and half a gallon (64 oz.).To be competent enough and increase brand value, beer manufacturers are also coming up with beer dispensing systems or kegerators. They are partnering with beer dispenser manufacturers to produce such products for both residential and commercial use. For instance, global leading beer manufacturer Heineken has launched beer kegerator KRUPS and HEINEKEN B100 BeerTender with Heineken draught keg technology, by partnering with beer dispenser manufacturer Krups.Developed countries such as the US and the UK present relatively mature markets for beverage dispensing systems as a whole. While these markets are subject to product innovation and subsequent product launches to gain a competitive edge,developing countries like China, Brazil, Russia, Turkey, South Africa, the UAE, and India also now have a significant share in the global market. Also, key vendors are increasingly focusing their attention on these countries. For instance, Haier expanded its business in both South Africa and the UAE in 2015.

The IT spending in the energy sector market is growing at a significant rate. The energy sector IT spending is driven by advanced IT solutions such as analytics,smart grids, Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing. The IT modernization projects in the public sector are revamping the ICT infrastructure in the energy sector. They have attracted investments in IT solutions and services.The Americas are the leading region where firms are implementing IT solutions in the energy sector. However, the demand for cloud-based services is increasing significantly in the developing regions of EMEA and APAC to boost the ICT infrastructure at minimal upfront investments.We expect the oil and gas companies to adopt the use of new technologies (such as cloud, geo-location, near-field communications, and analytics) to enhance the operational efficiency. Mobile and web services are some of the major IT investment areas that should be targeted by the oil and gas vendors during the forecast period. In addition, the solar companies are implementing analytics and cloud-based services to market solar power energy solutions in the consumer market.

IR emitter and receiver are electronic components that function in the IR range of light. IR emitter is an LED that emits light in IR spectrum, while IR receiver is that device which detects and decodes the light emitted from the IR emitter.The report focuses on IR emitters and receivers used for security, sensing, test and measurement, and other (data transmission and imaging) applications. Also, the IR spectral range considered in this report includes near infrared, SWIR, MWIR, LWIR,and far infrared.
