Avionics are electronic systems used in aircraft to communicate, navigate, and support various complex flight applications. They are the most expensive and critical components in a modern aircraft. Modern avionic systems also aid in improved navigation and routing, provide enhanced situational awareness to pilots, and improve the air traffic management (ATM) process. There is an increasing demand for advanced high-performance avionics in the military sector.

Military aircraft either consist of rotary-wing or fixed-wing aircraft that are used for combat missions or for the transportation of military personnel and military supplies. Many of the global military aircraft fleets are in service for decades. This aging fleet of aircraft needs to be upgraded and retrofitted with modern aircraft systems and components to extend their service life for modern combat and strategic missions.

Over the last decade, there has been an increase in the number of insurgent and criminal activities and attacks across the globe. This has prompted the governments of a majority of the countries to invest considerably in enhancing the surveillance and monitoring systems through the purchase of new biometric equipment and related technologies. In addition, the growing instability in certain regions has led to high migration of people from Middle Eastern countries like Syria and Iraq to EMEA and North American regions. To address the issue, defense and homeland security ministries of countries are improving their border security systems by installing new fingerprint, facial, and iris recognition systems to help identify any suspect or terrorist entering the country.

An enterprise storage center is a repository for storing business information or data for a period of time depending on the needs of end-users. Enterprise users can fetch these data and share them through interconnected networks or online. Enterprise storage comprises SSD and HDD devices that are commonly used in SAN, NAS, and DAS environments. Data stored can also be backed up or archived and can be used in case of system failure or disaster. Compared to traditional storage, enterprise storage is highly reliable, fault tolerant, and a scalable storage option, which makes it suitable for enterprises dealing with huge amounts of data.

Embedded software is a computer program or code running on hardware, guiding and controlling the actions of the device. It acts as an interface between underlying hardware and end-users. It is built into hardware systems, written on computer chips, and applied in real-time systems such as ATMs, missiles, and airplanes. Examples of embedded software in our daily life include pacemakers, cell phones, home appliances, energy generation and distribution systems, satellites, and automotive components such as anti-lock brakes. It is designed to perform a specific task as well as to be used in digital clocks, mobile phones, and calculators.

Military satellites are primarily used for reconnaissance and surveillance, communications, signals intelligence, navigation, and meteorology. However, as of December 2015, only the US and Russia operated satellites for all the five aforementioned areas. Most countries either use a small number of military satellites or rely completely on commercial satellites for their military requirements.

VTOL aircraft are capable of vertical take-off, landing, and hovering in the air. These can be classified as fixed-wing, rotorcraft, powered-lift aircraft that use powered rotors such as tiltrotor, cyclocopter, tail-sitter, tiltwing, and fan-wing. VTOL aircraft are also capable of short take-off and landing (STOL), conventional take-off and landing (CTOL), and short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL). Apart from VTOL helicopters, the other two types of VTOL aircraft that are being used are

Area rugs are used to cover residential and commercial floors and to decorate and enhance the appearance of homes. They are of two types: machine-made and handmade area rugs.

To calculate the market size, we have considered the revenue generated through the sales of area rugs to individual consumers across the globe in 2016.

Architectural engineering and construction (AEC) software is used throughout the designing process of a building. The software helps improve the efficiency of construction as well as provides 2D and 3D simulation models to end-users for indepth analysis. AEC helps reduce the capital cost and construction time of buildings. It includes both software and services for the construction of large and complex residential, industrial, and commercial buildings. The major users of this software include architects, contractors, engineers, and owners.In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario and future prospects of the global AEC market for 2017-2021.
