The need to automate the management of day-to-day information related to students is driving educational institutions to implement student information systems (SISs). Students use these systems for daily tasks such as registering for courses and classes, viewing their grades, and accessing transcripts. Faculty uses these systems to view their teaching schedules, submit final grades, and access academic information related to students. Administrators use SIS to automate various manual processes such as data entry. Educational institutions can enhance their strategic initiatives by using data drawn from built-in analytics of SIS. Key vendors in the global SIS market for higher education, such Jenzabar,Ellucian, Unit4, and Oracle, are working with educational institutions to improve their product offerings. Some of the prominent M&A include Unit4 acquisition of Three Rivers Systems to strengthen its presence in the global SIS market for higher education. Similarly, Jenzabar acquired RJM Systems in 2015. Following the acquisition, Jenzabar invested in RJM's SONISWEB SIS, a web-based SIS, to attract a larger consumer base. Vendors such as Workday that typically offer enterprise solutions have also entered the market to capitalize on the demand for software solutions in higher educational institutions.

Aged premium single malt whiskies are short in demand and players in the market are resorting to other methods such as releasing no age statement whiskies to meet the demand.European Union (EU) is the largest export market for single malt Scotch whisky and the exit of the UK from EU will affect the exports from UK.Emergence of no age statement whiskey products is the main trend in the global single malt whiskey market. Whiskey-based tourism is increasing in countries such as Scotland, India, and others, and this trend is expected to increase during the forecast period.

The growing development of short-range air-defense (SHORAD) missile systems in the US, China, North Korea, India, Germany, Poland, Italy, and Russia is a prime driver of the market. Asia-Pacific (APAC) is expected to have the highest growth rate (4.55%) during the forecast period. The growing investments in R&D programs is a key factor propelling the development of SHORAD missile systems.

5-axis Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) machining had already made a significant difference in the metal processing industry by reducing the cycle time,increasing efficiency, and decreasing the wastage of material. With an everincreasing demand from end-user industries, the 6-axis CNC machine has been introduced. This innovation is expected to redefine machining operations. Reduced CAPEX spending by manufacturers has compelled industries to scout for low-cost options. This trend has contributed to the easy reach of refurbished machines for consumers. In addition, the rising demand for these machines is attributed to their cost differential of 50%-75%. This, coupled with the highly fragmented industry scenario, has provided a threat to established players with a possibility of subdued sales. Low-cost manufacturing opportunities in APAC have compelled manufacturers across all industries to move their manufacturing bases to this region. Rising automotive production in Thailand and initiatives such as Make in India have made this region the focal point of global manufacturing. Therefore, Technavio expects this region to lead in the manufacturing market, and in turn, prove to be a major market for sheet metal equipment.

In 2015, the global semiconductor process control equipment market was dominated by KLA-Tencor accounting for 48.49% of the global market in 2015. This is because most of the end-users (semiconductor device manufacturers) share a mutual understanding with KLA-Tencor and order new semiconductor process control equipment from it. In addition, it has the necessary resources to constantly update its production line to the latest technology requirements of the semiconductor industry.The major end-users for semiconductor process control equipment are foundries,
integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), and memory manufacturers. Foundries account for 62.35% of the global market, while memory manufactures and IDMs make up for the remaining 37.65% of the market. Memory manufactures account for a share of 23.75% and IDMs 13.9%. The number of IDMs has reduced drastically due to cost-saving efforts by semiconductor manufacturers, the majority of whom are migrating to the fabless model. Similarly, the memory manufacturing industry has also observed a lot of consolidation, leaving behind only a few. The
major end-users of semiconductor process control equipment are foundries.

Semiconductor IP is generated from multiple data sources, file systems, and internal databases. Currently around 60% of IP is internally developed, 20% from the foundry portfolio library, and another 20% from third-party IP vendor licenses.The leading MNCs such as IBM, Apple, Qualcomm, Intel, Texas Instruments, and Samsung along with the semiconductor foundries will be integrating system on chip (SOC) and 3D/TSV designs into high level and highly complex custom applications, during the forecast period. To make this happen, these foundry vendors and
companies will be using different types of internal and third-party IP solutions for major applications.This report considers 2015 as the base year. The values presented in the report are the actual values for 2015 and have been estimated for the period 2016-2020 on the basis of primary and secondary research.

For generations, the only way to train teenagers and young drivers to drive properly was to use scare tactics. Parents have been known to use the jail or some authority figure to put fear into the minds of impressionable teens — should they over speed, they would be hauled in by the police; drunken driving would attract fines and jail terms — the works. With the advent of PCS; however, the parents need not scare their kids anymore. They can rest assured that the PCS would take care of their young drivers on the road. Moreover, the PCS would also keep the parents informed about the driving behavior of the teen driver, and put up alerts if the young driver is about to cross (or has crossed) a pre-set boundary or speed limit.

Automotive camera modules are devices that are installed in the front, rear, and side of the automobiles to provide maximum information about the surroundings and help in preventing and minimizing the impact of accidents, in turn protecting both passengers and pedestrians. These camera modules warn the driver by providing a clear image of the rear and side blind zones, consequently improving the comfort of drivers by reducing their workload.

Several structural changes have affected the automotive industry since the past decade in the form of engine downsizing, electrification of automotive mechanism, emission regulations, connectivity, and safety. The industry is directly correlated with the economic and regulatory environment and consumer confidence.
