Submarine-launched missiles are classified into two categories: ballistic missiles (SLBMs) and cruise missiles (SLCMs). While SLBMs are launched vertically, SLCMs are launched in a low-altitude trajectory. Submarines equipped with these missiles enhance undersea operations and are capable of countering enemy attacks.The global submarine-launched missile market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.74% during the forecast period. In 2016, the Americas led the market with a share of 38.62%, followed by APAC with a share of 30.96%, and EMEA with a share of 30.42%.APAC countries are expected to be the fastest-growing markets for submarine-launched missiles with a major share of expenses stemming from India, China, Japan,and South Korea over the next five years.

Stun guns or conducted electrical weapons (CEWs) are used for incapacitating a potential suspect. Such weapons deliver electric shocks with the purpose of disrupting the muscle functions without causing substantial damage to the suspect who could be a threat to law and order. These stun guns are used to control violent situations involving civilians, as well as in scenarios where the use of lethal weapons is

discouraged, or where policy limits employment of conventional force.In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario (with the base year being 2016) and the growth prospects of the global stun gun market for 2017-2021.

The global education environment is changing dynamically, owing to the evolution of various forms of learning methods in traditional and online classrooms. The Internet technologies and the advent of e-learning solutions have changed the way institutions impart education. This has resulted in educational institutions having comprehensive information about students, course materials, and services, which, if effectively used,can help them gain a competitive advantage over other institutions. With essential software and solutions, institutions can streamline functionalities and eliminate siloed activities and integrate them efficiently with learning and administrative processes.

Stem cell therapy is the use of stem cells for the treatment or prevention of a disease or condition. Bone marrow transplant is the widely used stem cell therapy, followed by therapies derived from umbilical cord blood. Research is being undertaken to develop various sources (such as cord blood cells, bone marrow, and skin) for stem cells, and to apply them to various disorders like neurodegenerative diseases and conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions.Stem cell therapy has become controversial after development in isolating and culturing of embryonic stem cells. This technique is used to create stem cells using somatic cell nuclear transfer and to create induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This controversy is related to abortion politics and human cloning. However, the changing regulatory landscape in several countries such as the US and Japan may help accelerate the clinical trials.

Start-stop batteries are rechargeable vehicle batteries that work on a start-stop mechanism, and automatically shut off the engine when the car is idle, for instance,when the car has stopped at a red light. It automatically stops the engine when the car comes to a halt, and the battery powers all the electrical systems and devices such as air conditioning and the radio until the engine starts again. It starts the engine within a fraction of a second when the driver releases the brake. The advanced battery management system then decouples the alternator to charge the battery. The brake recuperation converts brake energy into electrical energy, which further charges the battery.

In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the global start-stop battery market for 2017-2021.

An automatic mechanical equipment that is used to apply plaster on a dry wall is known as a spraying and plastering machine. The global spraying and plastering machines market will see a CAGR of 6.98% during the forecast period 2017-2021, with market revenue increasing from $1.52 billion in 2016 to $2.13 billion in 2021. The market will be driven by many growth factors such as the rise in residential constructions and infrastructure development. The evolution of construction practices and the use of technology that ensures better productivity will drive the global spraying and plastering machines market.The working principle of a spraying and plastering machine is very simple. The plastering machine is composed of a machine body, a plastering trowel, and two uprights that support the machine's upward and downward movements. These uprights are fixed between the roof and the floor and the machine is filled with the premixed material, which reaches the plastering trowel through a conveyor belt. The machine goes up and down against the wall, thus plastering the wall in an efficient manner.

The growth of SUVs has been sudden; wherein the global automotive industry has witnessed a dramatic increase in the volume sales of SUVs. According to an estimate,SUVs accounted for just 4% of the global automotive sales in 2000. The global SUV market was niche during initial years of the 21st century with America being the major contributor. However, in the last decade, the demand for SUVs has grown substantially

with high volume sales in the European and Asian automotive markets as well. SUVs accounted for almost 15% of the global new car registration in 2014.
