By product, styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) dominates the global styrenic block copolymers (SBC) and its derivatives market, accounting for three-fourths of the market share during the forecast period. These compounds are cheaper and therefore accepted in many end-user applications such as food and automotive dashboards and interiors, specialty polymers, coated fabrics in contract furnishing, and in hot melt adhesives.

Rice bran oil is extracted from the outer brown layer of rice (known as rice bran). It is an edible vegetable oil. It contains 15%-20% oil by weight and consists of three major constituents: gamma-oryzanol, tocotrienols, and tocopherols, which have potential significance in human health and diet.Currently, rice bran oil is a niche market, and there is still an untapped market of 2.1 million metric tons. This provides an opportunity for countries like India, where there is high production of rice. Rice bran oil is expected to gain popularity among consumers as the oil is recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) and American Heart Association, mainly for its balanced fatty acid profile. As consumers are increasingly looking out for edible oils that are nutritious and have antioxidant content, the rice bran oil market has a potential for overall market growth both in terms of volume and value.

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.
