Approximately 70% of global blood banks use radio-frequency identification (RFID) blood monitoring systems for individual safety.

The need to reduce blood transfusion errors will drive the adoption rate. In 2012,the Transfusion Medicine RFID Consortium stated that the use of RFID results in approximately 33% reduction in misplacement of products at blood donation points, as well as an 87% decrease in reconciliation issues or misplacement of products at hospitals.The increasing complications associated with blood transfusion errors will compel hospitals and blood banks to adopt RFID blood monitoring systems.The emergence of ultra-high-frequency tags will drive the market growth owing to their enhanced features such as increased speed and accuracy.The endorsements of RFID blood monitoring systems by blood banks will increase the penetration rate.

We expect increased investments in new generation energy frameworks such as sustainable low-carbon technologies and in clean energy systems in the interest of enhancing economic development. The short-term costs of shifting to low carbon are likely to amount to just a fraction of the finance required for infrastructure. Therefore, new sources of financing need to be mobilized, and a sharp focus should be placed on generating long term finance. We expect governments to support investments in greenhouse gas-intensive activities and

climate objectives into public procurement and official development assistance during the forecast period. Thus, it will help in catalyzing low carbon transitions during the forecast period.We expect huge innovation in low carbon technologies during the forecast

period, owing to government’s commitment to the core climate policy instruments. This will create new businesses and replace old technologies with new and advanced technologies. Such developments should also encompass mechanisms to address the potential skills gaps through training, education,and labor market policies.If we look at the present market scenario, international trade barriers can

undermine climate objectives like import tariffs that penalize trade in some technologies required for low carbon transition. Negotiations may help to reduce the costs of climate mitigation efforts. For instance, Environmental Goods Agreement, once ratified, will help in reducing overall investments and may boost the uptake of sustainable technologies during the forecast period.

ENERGY STAR ratings, energy efficiency programs, and government rebates are encouraging upgrade purchases of refrigerators. Although consumers are replacing their single-door conventional refrigerators and buying the latest multiple-featured refrigerators, they still maintain their distinct threshold for how much they are willing to spend. However, manufacturers and retailers continue to communicate the potential monetary savings from the purchase of more advanced and more energyefficient models.Considering the market environment for more energy-efficient refrigerators, players have been deploying inverter technologies to reduce high energy consumption by avoiding sudden inrush of current, which is typical in the conventional on-off mechanism refrigerators.Technological innovations in terms of energy efficiency are done by innovating compressors, motors, and insulation. However, for premium refrigerators (like smart connected refrigerators), additional focus is being given on design and features.Players are focusing on eco-friendly refrigerants, such as isobutane refrigerant, that lower the impact on global warming and have nearly zero potential to cause ozone depletion. Manufacturers are also showcasing green trends through the materials used in the refrigerator, such as toughened glass over plastic shelves. Technologies like convertible refrigerators and cooling even during power cuts are gaining traction among consumers as these novel technologies provide added convenience to the consumers.

Technavio analysis has shown that the global refrigerated cabinet market will grow at a steady CAGR of over 4.41% during 2015-2020. The global market has a positive outlook due to the growing demand from the emerging economies in Asia-Pacific (APAC). Emerging economies like China and India, along with Australia, will drive the demand for refrigerated cabinets in APAC, which contributed about 35%

of the global market's revenue. APAC is expected to be the next investment hub for the refrigerated cabinet market vendors.The new regulations introduced in the US and the EU member states on the use of refrigerants will be effective from June 2017. These regulations will negatively impact small-scale market players, and only big players are expected to survive in the market. These regulations will significantly increase product prices, which will,in turn, affect the end-users in the market.

A DNA microarray is a collection of microscopic DNA spots that are attached to a solid surface. DNA microarrays allow the simultaneous monitoring of expression of thousands of genes. They can be used for both determination of mRNA levels and for genotyping. Protein microarrays help in monitoring the level of translation of proteins and the testing of enzyme actions. The tool is widely used to ascertain whether a particular individual’s DNA contains a mutation in genes.

ADAS essentially consist of sub-systems and features that work independently or are combined together to provide assistance, which is not only restricted to safety but can also span comfort as well as a broad spectrum of convenience for drivers of modern day automobiles. ADAS are defined as those systems, which provide essential information, as well as automate difficult-to-perform or tiresome and repetitive tasks, with a goal that is not limited to enhancing the safety and security of everyone on the road, including pedestrians. This definition of ADAS is purposefully kept as fluid as possible keeping in mind the fact that the ADAS landscape is ever-changing. These constant changes are engendered by the advances in automotive as well as non-automotive electronics, besides the advent of better and smarter algorithms, which are constantly in search of near-human intelligence.
