Baby changing stations provide a smooth surface that facilitates the changing of diapers. These stations are situated at a convenient position in public restrooms and home nurseries. Baby changing stations are of two types, which include horizontal baby changing stations and vertical baby changing stations. Baby changing stations are either made of steel or plastic. The global baby changing stations market is dominated by plastic baby changing stations due to their low price and effectiveness in comparison with steel baby changing stations

Advances in automotive technology have taken vehicle comfort and convenience to another level. Automotive seat systems now perform numerous functions such as giving the driver a massage, accurate and comfortable driving posture, and air or warmth during travel using different sensors and devices. Nowadays, automotive seats are a combination of electronically adjustable systems, intelligent seat configuration, and health and wellness systems. Hence, these seats provide closed-loop comfort systems to the driver while traveling long distances. With the development of these seats, seat manufacturers are now able to address safety as well as health concerns. The smart seats are available as standard fitment in most luxury cars in the form of multiple axes seat adjustment and predefined seat memory functionality.

The global automotive industry is highly competitive, and due to the nature of the competition, product life cycle, and consumer demand, it goes through dynamic growth phases. Presently, the industry is characterized by companies relocating their production centers from developed to developing regions. During the 2008 and 2009 global financial crisis, the industry experienced a considerable decline in demand. However, the markets have slowly stabilized primarily due to the relative economic stability in developing nations.

The global automotive market is evolving rapidly with the expansion of product portfolios, entry of new players, advanced system offerings, and advances in technology. The mindset and buying criteria of the consumers are changing rapidly, thereby changing the dynamics of the global automotive industry. The consumers are becoming more aware and informative, and are seeking various aspects, such as comfort, technology, and safety in an automobile.

Temperature sensors are widely used in powertrain applications and climate control functions in the automotive industry. The use of sensors in the powertrain allowed the rapid electrification of mechanical components such as the development of automatic transmission in passenger cars. As a result, the automotive industry is progressively witnessing the adoption of temperature sensors. In addition, the growth in the automobile market will be the main driver for the growth of the global temperature sensors market. The drive for the autonomous vehicle has increased the use of automotive sensors in the vehicle. This will be a crucial driver for the adoption of the temperature sensors in the automotive segment.

Automotive sunroofs may be fixed, vent, or sliding roofs that allow light and fresh air to enter the vehicle and also protects against the sun and wind. They can be operated manually or can be driven by motors. They are available in different sizes, shapes, and styles.The first company to come up with sunroof as a standard fitment was Nash Motors Company in 1937. In the subsequent decades, sunroofs became a premium feature among the ultra-luxury vehicles. During the 1990s, sunroofs gradually made way into premium and mid-segment cars as the large-scale investments by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and component manufacturers made it relatively affordable. Currently, many companies are coming up with sunroofs as a standard fitment, which can be operated manually or electronically. While manual sunroofs use levers for the sliding motion, electronically operated sunroofs use motor-driven cables. Most sunroofs that are currently available are electronically driven. Sunroof systems can be factory installed or can be installed aftermarket.

In this Technavio report, we have covered the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global figure skating equipment market for 2017-2021. To calculate the market's size, the report has taken into consideration the revenue generated from the retail sales of figure skating equipment to individual consumers and skating rinks.Forecasting is based on the projected demand for figure skating equipment, and average unit price estimations during the forecast period. Throughout this report, 2016 is considered as the base year. All calculations involving quantitative data are based on 2016, whereas for 2017-2021 the values are estimated.

An FPGA is a logic device, wherein the function can be changed while the device is in place within its working environment, allowing the hardware processing of a system to be altered by an external configuration loading process. Configuration bitstreams for FPGAs can be used to change the logical processing of input data, and so alter the functionality of a device. FPGAs are mainly used in automotive, medical, factory equipment, and defense equipment that require rapid concurrent processing.This report presents a detailed study of the present scenario and growth prospects of the global field-programmable gate array (FPGA) market for the period 2017-2021. It considers 2016 as the base year and forecasts the market value through to 2021.

FAC are small, fast, agile, and attack-capable warships, which are armed with anti-ship missiles, guns, or torpedoes. FAC are generally operated in the coastal regions as they lack the defensive capabilities to survive in the blue waters. The major benefit of such ships over other warships is their affordability and speed. These boats, when armed with guided missiles, are capable of posing threats to even large capital ships.Technavio expects the global FAC market to grow at a CAGR of 2.14% during the forecast period. In 2015, EMEA led the market with a share of 38%, followed by APAC with a share of 35.78%, and the Americas with a share of 26.22%. Over the forecast

period, the countries in APAC are expected to be the fastest growing market for the FAC with a major share of expenses from India, China, Japan, North Korea, and South Korea.
