The growing focus on epidemiology and translational science, along with the generation and preservation of biological samples (which includes variants of blood) for studies and experimentation, has increased the need for storage solutions that can extend the shelf life of blood.Approximately 50% blood donations happen in high-income countries, which have only 20% of the global population. There is an emphasis on proper storage facilities to store, track, and monitor blood that is supplied or transported to countries that face a shortage of blood units, thereby requiring advanced refrigerating systems.Endorsement of blood banks regarding blood monitoring and storage systems (which includes refrigerators and freezers) using radio frequency identification (RFID) will increase the penetration rate of storage solutions. For instance, in March 2016, Australia’s National Blood Bank endorsed the usage of SpaceCode’s

RFID system at Liverpool Hospital in Sydney.Awareness programs such as Blood and Transfusion Safety program by WHO support the development of national blood systems (starting from collection to storage to supply) throughout the world to ensure timely access to safe and adequate supplies of blood and blood-related products, thereby driving the demand for technologically advanced storage solutions.

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.
