The growing incidence of brain aneurysm and cerebral disorders is expected to drive the market growth. For instance, in 2014, approximately six million individuals were affected by an unruptured cerebral aneurysm in the US. Also, approximately 0.7 million strokes occur every year in the US.The rising demand for minimally invasive procedures is expected to fuel the adoption rates for neuroendovascular non-coils, owing to lesser complications.Therefore, neurosurgeons are shifting from their traditional approaches (surgical clipping) to advanced minimally invasive surgeries. Vendors are also focusing on developing minimally invasive devices. For instance, in February 2015, Medtronic received the US FDA approval for its flow diversion Pipeline Embolization Device,which is used for treating brain aneurysm. It is the first flow diversion device to receive approval from the US FDA.

Gas turbines are primarily used in gas-fired power plants; these plants include an internal combustion engine, wherein the fuel is mixed with air, causing ignition. The resultant hightemperature gas is directed toward a gas turbine through a nozzle, which causes the turbine to rotate.

Composites are a class of materials that are made of two or more materials with different properties that are combined to obtain unique characteristics. Advanced composites comprise two major components: a polymer matrix and a reinforcing fiber material. Carbon, glass, and aramid are the commonly used fibers. Epoxy, polyester, phenol, and polyacrylic acid are the major types of polymers used to manufacture advanced composites.

An ACH is a protective combat helmet used by military, homeland security, and law enforcement agencies to enhance a soldier's ballistic and impact protection. The design of an ACH has been derived from modular integrated communications helmets (MICH). An ACH can also be used as a platform to mount electronics such as communication and night vision devices. Although the structure of an ACH reduces the area of coverage, it still contributes to improving the field of vision and hearing, leading to better situational awareness over the current helmets used. An ACH has five basic components: helmet shell, pad suspension system, retention system (chin strap/nape strap), helmet cover, and eye strap.

Adult stores generally refer to retail outlets that are involved in the business of providing a wide range of products such as sex toys, personal lubricants, and erotic lingerie under broad categories such as clothing and pornography. These are sexual stimulation products available in different types, sizes, and colors and are used to augment pleasure.

Adhesives and sealants are differentiated by the type of bonding involved, especially by their physical and chemical mechanisms. Adhesives cover a broad segment, which includes materials such as glue, cement, mucilage, and others. It consists of polymers that help in hardening due to chemical or physical reactions. Sealants, on the other hand, are pliable, soft materials that change its state as soon as they are applied. These compounds are employed where noise, air, liquid, and dust have to be prevented. Sealants have lower strength than adhesives but are stronger than putties and caulks.

Though location-based service (LBS) is a major segment in the market in terms of revenue, the road segment is expected to show massive growth during the forecast period. Vendors such as Qualcomm, Broadcom, and SkyTraq are marketing their global navigation satellite system (GNSS) chipsets on the basis of connected cars,which will witness a significant growth during the forecast period.Miniaturization in GNSS-enabled devices is an emerging trend in the market. So,GNSS chipset vendors are trying to provide highly efficient and small form factor GNSS chipsets. SkyTraq is one such vendor that is marketing its new GNSS chipset, Venus828F, on the basis of small size.GNSS chipsets lead to radio-frequency (RF) noise, and hence, GNSS satellites are gaining popularity in the market. So, GNSS chipset manufacturers are now focusing on providing efficient GNSS chipsets, which can negate this RF noise.

Natural gas pipelines are an integral part of the global oil and gas industry. The development outlook of the market is highly dependent on the dynamics of the overall oil and gas industry. The market is expected to grow at CAGR of 0.205% during the forecast period.The global natural gas pipeline market is cyclical in nature and is experiencing a phase marked by low prices. However, the investments in the global natural gas pipeline market are not affected by short-term natural gas price fluctuations and conform to the larger market cycles.

The global nano and microsatellite market is expected to witness significant transformation due to the exponentially growing demand from the commercial segment. It is also anticipated that by 2025, the commercial nano and microsatellites segment will dominate the global nano and micro satellite market with a share of over 70%.The increased use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) microelectronics is expected to aid the vendors in reducing manufacturing costs, which will influence the growth of the market during the forecast period.

APAC is expected to experience the highest growth rate with a CAGR of 28.91% during the forecast period. The major countries in APAC are investing significantly in establishing a secure communication environment for their military troops.Simultaneously, there have been increasing collaborative efforts among governments and private entities for the development of small and low-cost satellites. These remain as two of the major drivers propelling the market during the forecast period in APAC. 

The global negative-AND (NAND) flash market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.69% during the forecast period. NAND flash is gaining more popularity over dynamic random access memory (DRAM) as it does not have to be powered continuously to retain data. In addition, NAND flash is now extensively used for solid state drives (SSDs), which is replacing hard disk drives (HDDs). This is a major factor for market growth.Vendors are shifting their focus from the production of 2D NAND to 3D NAND, as the latter stores more bits of data per layer of memory cells and lowers the cost per gigabyte.The smartphone and tablet segments are the two largest application segments for

NAND flash, accounting for 45.3% of the market. NAND flash is ideal for portable devices due to its non-volatile feature and hence it is widely used in smartphones and tablets. The smartphone market is growing at a CAGR of 7.61%, and the tablet market is growing at a CAGR of 8.32%, which provide an incentive for NAND flash vendors.
