The global emergency light sticks market is driven by a growing demand from the military and law enforcement sectors. Outdoor recreation is another key end-user segment that demands emergency light sticks for various activities. Strong demand in countries in North America and Europe will contribute significantly to market growth.

Gamification is the process of implementing game mechanics into non-gaming contexts to drive user engagement and to enhance problem-solving. Points, badges, leaderboards, challenges, and rewards are some examples of game mechanics. Gamification does not create real games but uses game techniques to engage students in comprehensive learning mechanisms.

Deep learning is the subset of machine learning and a method of training a system by itself. Machine learning is a software or technique that improves the performance of the system over time when determined against a specified task. It stems from artificial neural networks (ANNs). A neural network is a massively parallel distributed mainframe made up of simple processing units and has a natural tendency for storing observed knowledge and making it available to the user. The following diagram shows the subsets AI to provide a clear picture of the relationship between deep learning and machine learning.

The global connected logistics market is experiencing significant growth. The use of advanced IT solutions such as internet of things (IoT), Big Data analytics, cloud computing, and remote temperature monitoring systems have revamped logistics services. Third-party logistics (3PL) service providers such as DHL have implemented advanced IT solutions for their connected logistics solutions.Cloud-based software solutions have been widely adopted by the logistics service providers. In 2015, the cloud-based software solutions grew by an approximate 34% in the logistics market. Software solutions that reduce the cost of the supply chain systems gathered traction in the market. Smart connected devices, smart sensors, the radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, and other advanced wireless technologies registered high demand in 2015.

The paperboard packaging market is making rapid strides in the global packaging market. The major consumers of paperboard packaging are distributed across various industries, including the chemicals, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, and other industries. Paperboard products are preferred because of the non-reactive nature of paper, and paperboard protects the products enclosed in it from getting damaged. Paper, timber, pulp, and other similar forest materials, which can be easily recycled, are used as basic raw materials in paper packaging. Paper and paperboard packaging materials are also used for blocking, bracing, cushioning, and preserving products.

The lifestyle of working class population worldwide is increasingly becoming hectic and fast-paced. These conditions have created a demand for devices and services that will enable people to do their daily chores faster. This trend has, among other things, created a demand for commercial on-demand laundry services and increased the demand for commercial laundry washing machines globally; laundromats, on-demand laundry services, and other commercial laundry services are in high demand among because of an increase in disposable income and rise in dual-income families.

Over the past decade, the automotive industry has been undergoing structural changes in terms of electrification of automotive mechanism, engine downsizing, emission regulations, enhancing safety features, and vehicle connectivity to produce vehicles that are safer and more efficient. Despite significant progress made in terms of safety, on-road accidents and collision rates remain high. This has led to the R&D of some of the most advanced life-saving systems and technologies such as driver state monitoring systems in the automotive industry.

While driving a vehicle, braking is a mandatory operation that is needed to control the vehicle. Whenever an emergency road situation is encountered, braking is one of the foremost and primary operations that the driver needs to perform. How soon the vehicle can be stopped or how soon it responds to the application of the brakes will depend on the intensity of the pressure applied on the brakes. Mere pressing of the brake pedals may not prevent the entire accident. This is so because, as in many cases, the driver may not press the brakes hard enough to stop the vehicle or even not brake at all as in some cases. There are different road-side driving conditions such as off-highway conditions, city traffic among others that have led to the evolution of the different automotive braking systems. This has led to the development of anti-lock braking systems, autonomous braking systems, and advanced emergency braking systems among others.

Refrigeration is used to preserve perishable food items and ensure food safety. The products offered in the global commercial refrigeration market find application in the commercial, industrial, and residential sectors. The market for commercial registration equipment is driven by regulatory standards on labeling, energy performance, refrigerants, and others. The global commercial refrigeration market offers various types of commercial refrigerators such as refrigerated storage cabinets or display cases, ice-making machinery, and walk-in coolers.

The worldwide changes in work conditions and lifestyle have created a demand for commercial on-demand laundry services as consumers have limited time to do chores like laundry. This, in turn, has increased the demand for commercial laundry equipment. An increase in the disposable income and rise in the number of dualincome families across the globe has also increased the demand for laundromats, ondemand laundry services, and other commercial laundry services.
