Evolution in technology and increased R&D for technological innovations by vendors in the healthcare robotics sector have paved the way to introduce patient monitoring and assistance robots. There are two major dynamics that have impacted the healthcare robotics and the adoption over the years. One is the aging population across the globe, which will not only increase the number of patients but also lead to the retirement of the current care staff and nursing professional in hospitals and other healthcare facilities like nursing homes. The other factor is the globalization of healthcare. Healthcare professionals are increasingly using technologies like telepresence robots to consult physicians and specialists in other countries to deliver efficient and speedy healthcare services. This implies that the market for patient monitoring and assistance robots will see a surge during the forecast period.

The need to reduce the operational costs in IT departments is driving the market for output management software, globally. The market will grow at a CAGR of 2.56% during the forecast period. The increased demand for printer management and documentation in the BFSI and healthcare sectors will drive the demand.

Earlier, debating feminine matters was taboo in the social community, and, as a result, women suffered from a lack of knowledge and literature on the subject. However, the situation has changed significantly and women have become more concerned about their health, including feminine issues. With the evolving perceptions of women, vendors are trying to fulfil the demand by providing high-quality products. Currently, sanitary pads are the most commonly used products for feminine hygiene by women. Historically, handmade or cotton-based sanitary pads were used as they were easy to make and were less expensive. However, nowadays, pads are usually made of synthetic and bleached materials, which can cause irritation if worn for a long time.

The demand for absorbent hygiene products such as sanitary napkins, tampons, and menstrual cups is significantly increasing among individual users. Sanitary napkins are contributing majority of the market share followed by menstrual cup and tampons. However, menstrual cups are observed to be one of the fastest growing feminine hygiene products, which is used for menstrual protection and can be used as a substitute for sanitary pads and tampons. Due to lack of proper awareness and other legal issues, menstrual cup usage has become restricted to a few developed countries.

The blood bank refrigerators market in the US is expected to grow steadily at the rate of 5.79% owing to an increase in the requirement of blood transfusions, which require proper storage facilities. The demand for blood products is likely to grow during the forecast period due to an increase in the incidence of diseases in the US, which is home to the fastest growing elderly population. This might escalate the number of chronic and age-related diseases, necessitating an increase in blood transfusion as a part of treatment. This

has made it indispensable for hospitals and diagnostic centers to employ highly specialized refrigeration equipment to ensure the proper preservation and storage of blood units, which can be made immediately available for transfusion or research purposes. Considering the lack of an adequate supply of blood in the US,organizations such as the American Association of Blood Banks have set stringent guidelines to ensure appropriate storage and supply, thereby forcing endusers such as blood banks and hospitals to use highly efficient cold storage systems to store blood units.

The demand for craft beer is increasing in Europe, and this will influence the growth of the market positively during the forecast period. Due to the increasing demand for craft beer, the number of craft breweries is also increasing in Europe.The exit of the UK from the European Union will affect the growth of the market due to the devaluation of pound. The players in the market will have to rely more on local beer production as imports could be costly.More number of consumers now prefer having beer in the confines of their homes.

This is increasing the sales of beer through off-trade channels. This trend is expected to continue during the forecast period.The demand for low/non-alcoholic beer is growing due to increasing health consciousness among consumers. This factor will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Aluminum wire rod is continuously cast from liquid aluminum. The diameter of the rod is reduced by extruding it through a series of dies to obtain a rod with a diameter of 9.5 mm up to 32 mm by roller and drawing processes. Aluminum wire rods are used in various applications, such as in cables and conductors due to their high electrical conductivity, lightweight, and resistance to corrosion.

The aluminum wire rods market in Europe is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.4% during 2016-2021. These wire rods are mainly used in the electric utility segment for power transmission and distribution (T&D) purposes.Aluminum wire rods do not face any major competition from other metals for T&D purposes owing to their cost advantages. The adoption of high-conductivity conductors such as Al-59, which offer enhanced performance, is expected to increase in the market during the forecast period.

Aluminum welding wire is manufactured using a continuous casting process. Prior to this, the alloy is refined to minimize hydrogen, alkali metals, and inclusions. The wire is then drawn where internal soundness is ensured. The wire is tested to ensure surface

quality, feedability, and welding performance.The aluminum welding wires market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% during the

forecast period. The market is driven by the growth in the automotive and transportation segments. Welding wires are required for various applications, such as welding cast components, driveshaft, body frames, and others. In addition, the increase in the demand for aluminum welding wires for repair and maintenance activities across all end-user industries due to the support of various initiatives is also boosting the demand of aluminum wire rods.
