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. They are commonly made of nylon, polypropylene, polyester,wool, cotton, jute, silk, sisal, and seagrass. They are available in different shapes,styles, sizes, and colors. The rising consumer confidence across the world, the

booming housing industry, and growing demand for luxury area rugs are among the factors contributing to the growth the market worldwide.

The global area rugs market is driven by several factors. One of the main drivers is a rise in globalization, which has led to the easy and wider availability of different area rug products in various designs. Globalization has also resulted in lowering of trade.The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global area rugs market for 2017-2021. It includes the segmentation of the global area rugs market by product, application, distribution channel, and geography. 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.

Welding technology is widely adopted in all small and large-scale industries, which deal with fabrication processes. It is also used for repairing and refurbishing metal products. Welding can be executed in all possible media, viz. air, space, and underwater. The process finds significant applications in automotive manufacturing,construction of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, construction of bridges and other infrastructure, aerospace and defense, heavy machinery manufacturing, and all other fabrication industries or applications that require metal repairing.The global welding equipment market is expected to grow steadily during the forecast period and hence drive the arc welding market as well. The welding industry is witnessing a series of technological developments in the welding process.

AMS refer to the services such as day-to-day support, operations, and maintenance for management of enterprise applications. Major players, such as Accenture, IBM,Infosys, and TCS, provide the application management solutions.AMS include all on-going services related to application development, integration,implementation, maintenance and support, testing, and help desk services. However,first-time application development and integration services, business and IT consulting services, and infrastructure services are not considered in this report. Infrastructure services include providing, securing, maintaining, recovering, backing up, supporting,and scheduling of application computing environments.In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the global AMS market during 2017-2021. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the sales of AMS solutions. The report

considers 2016 as the base year. All the calculations involving quantitative data are based on the four quarters of the base year. The values represented in the report are the actual values for 2016, while the values for 2017-2021 have been estimated.

Antifungal drugs are chemical compounds used to kill or inhibit the growth of fungi.These drugs act by various mechanisms such as the inhibition of cell division, the inhibition of cell wall formation, and cell membrane disruption.In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global antifungal drugs market for 2017-2021. To calculate the market size, the

report considers the revenue generated from the sales of branded, generics and OTC drugs used for the treatment and prevention of various fungal infections. The report also considers the revenue to be generated from the sales of drugs that are expected to be launched in the market along with the decline in revenue from the patent expiries of the marketed drugs during the forecast period.
