The banking business deals with large numbers of customers including mass market customers, affluent customers, and small business customers. The dealings between the banks and customers happen over various delivery channels, thereby creating significant vulnerabilities across banking systems. The vulnerabilities refer to the fraudulent practices employed by customers and hackers, inadequate internal guidelines, non-adherence by staff, and inadequacy in the technology systems supplied by vendors. The banks have developed sufficient safeguards to deal with operational risk events that are associated with traditional banking delivery channels.

Many top banks are refusing to provide basic loans to entrepreneurs and SMBs as can be observed from different markets like the UK. This is hindering the growth of the technological start-ups online financing platform. The banks are refusing to deal with small businesses that are into digital currencies, payments, P2P lending, and crowd funding. Therefore, we expect the innovative technological models to

increase the capital base available to small businesses and large corporates. This will help businesses to utilize the real-time underwriting technology that is provided by technological platforms, thereby helping businesses to restructure their risk

patterns. As a result, they will be able to provide several flexible lines of credit products to customers.

The demand for MI surgical procedures is increasing rapidly due to its huge acceptance and clinical benefits over traditional/open surgery. The advances in medical facilities and services with faster-acting and more effective anesthesia and less invasive techniques have increased the number of procedures performed in ASCs. This widespread adoption is likely to change the market dynamics of the

ambulatory surgical centers market.The global ambulatory surgical centers market is highly fragmented with top four leading companies that have accounted for approximately 15%-16% of the overall market in 2015.The highly fragmented nature of the market has led to increased consolidation of the ASC industry over the last two to three years. This consolidation is attributed to reimbursement changes, changing regulatory environment, and cost pressures for ASCs providing various surgical options to end-users. For instance, Surgery

Partners is looking to consolidate in this market by acquiring small practices with small numbers of clinicians.

Sleeping pods: A sleeping pod is a comfortable seat or, sometimes, a luxury room that can be availed by passengers at airports at a certain cost.A sleeping pod can be offered as single occupancy or shared occupancy, depending on the size of the pod offered at airports. Currently, the single occupancy sleeping pod segment is driving the market as it is more flexible for airport operators to

deploy at any part of the terminal and overcome the terminal space constraint.

Elevators and escalators are installed in commercial, residential, and mixed-used buildings; IT parks; hotels and restaurants; and retail outlets. The global elevator and escalator market is likely to be driven by the growth of the global construction market. The global construction market is experiencing significant growth, especially in the emerging economies such as BRIC nations. A large number of new public infrastructure projects are currently underway across the globe, which is expected to drive the growth of the global elevator and escalator market.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are associated with high mortality rate all over the world. Strokes and heart attacks are two major types of CVD contributing to the growing mortality rate globally. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of CVD resulting in heart attack in the US. In the US, about 370,000 people die due to CHD every year. The EP diagnostics and treatment devices such as ablation catheters, pacemakers, and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are used extensively for the CVD treatment.

Intelligent all-wheel drive (IAWD) systems are upgraded AWD systems, which uses sensors to detect loss of traction of the wheels and directs torque for enabling a smoother and safer ride, especially on slippery roads. A normal AWD system engages all the wheels irrespective of the type of terrain it travels. However, an IAWD system primarily engages a two-wheel drive (2WD) system where only the front two wheels will be engaged. Upon detection of near loss of traction from the wheels, torque will be distributed to compensate for traction loss transforming the vehicle to an AWD. This system results in higher fuel efficiency compared with the traditional AWD system as apart from few instances of poor road conditions, the vehicle primarily runs on 2WD, reducing engine stress.
