Gaming simulators are considered the super-category of video games. The main purpose of these simulators is to simulate various aspects of the virtual world through real-world motions. This would require the optimal use of software and hardware platforms. The software platform ensures an accurate mapping between the gaming movement inside the virtual world and the gamer input in the real world. The hardware platform ensures a swift interface that can attract the crowd. The addition of motion detection in simulators is one of the biggest innovations, especially in the hardware segment. The feedback received from virtual world obstacles should accurately be converted into physical movements of the simulator. The quality of hardware will depend on the same.

Demographic trends such as population growth and greater urbanization and economic factors such as steady growth in manufacturing activity and rising consumer disposable incomes mainly in APAC will influence the global flexible protective packaging market during the forecast period. The global flexible protective packaging market is expected to witness moderate growth and grow at a CAGR of 6.25% during the forecast period. The market was dominated by Europe in 2015, followed by the Americas and APAC.

FSM software enables the scheduling, allocating, and dispatching technicians for field work, and remotely locating, tracking, and managing the staff and processes. The high management visibility in field operations allows enterprises to quickly recognize and address revenue-generating opportunities. It also helps in prioritizing the allotted work, matching technician skills, and reducing the time for solving the problems. FSM solutions can be deployed on-premises, hosted through a web browser as Softwareas- a-Service (SaaS), and a hybrid of the two. It offers enterprises with a number of benefits including cost savings, enhanced productivity, and customer satisfaction.

Electronic adhesives are used for making interconnections between wires or other electronic components on a printed circuit board (PCB). They are extensively used in the manufacture and assembly of electronic circuits and products. These adhesives are used in the assembly and packaging of the electronic devices. The electronics market caters to various industries including telecommunications, defense, computer, consumer goods, and automotive products.

The global two-wheeler industry is two-faced; one segment is of heavyweight motorcycles considered for riding pleasure, and the other is of low-powered motorcycles that are used for daily commuting. Both the segments operate under contrast market dynamics with different customer behavior and value chain. The premium segment is witnessing a steady growth owing to growing culture of touring motorcycling in mature markets such as the US, Japan, and Western Europe.

The latest modification in the payment industry is mobile card readers. Earlier, enterprises were reluctant to accept card payments due to high processing fees and other hardware drawbacks. The development of these devices has encouraged a number of enterprises to accept card payments as they have reduced the hassles surrounding traditional mPOS terminals. Hardware components form the main differentiating factor between traditional point-of-sale (POS) payment terminals and mobile card readers in the market.

AR technology offers an experience of reality enhanced with virtual images and a virtual environment. AR technology blends digital content with the physical world. AR technology, with the help of a mobile app, displays computer-generated images in the user's field of vision, offering relevant information about real-world objects. It allows users to scan the physical environment while providing an enhanced, or augmented, experience by adding virtual computer-generated information. End-users can use this technology through mobile apps.

The hospitality industry comprises of hotels and other accommodations, including restaurants and catering establishments. There is a need for management software to manage the revenues, guest check-in, and check-out to improve and enhance a customer's experience during the stay.

The past century has seen the dominance of fossil fuels as the chief source of energy for the sustenance of the global economic machinery. Among these fuels, crude oil is one commodity that has controlled almost all the aspects of the energy business. It is defined as a mixture of compounds composed of carbon and hydrogen in varying proportion with the presence of inorganic compounds such as nitrogen and sulfur and metals like vanadium and mercury. The crude oil is found in specific rock formations called reservoirs in the earth's crust. The depth at which these reservoirs occur can vary significantly from pools that flow up to the surface to almost 15,000 meters underground. The method is employed to get to these reservoirs of black gold through drilling the surface until we reach the pre-defined depth.

In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario (considering the base year to be 2016) and the growth prospects of the global airport passenger screening systems market for 2017-2021. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated in the overall market from the procurement of passenger screening systems (i.e., hand-held metal detectors, walk-through metal detectors, walk-through explosive trace detection systems, and whole body imaging systems). However, both the funded and non-funded R&D investments in the development of next-generation passenger screening systems as well as passenger baggage screening systems, have not been

considered while deriving the market size for the base and projected years.
