Heat pumps are among the most energy-efficient substitutes for air conditioners and furnaces, especially in climates that require moderate cooling and heating needs. The pumps, like refrigerators, make warm space warmer and cool space cooler by using electricity to move heat. Considering that heat pumps only move heat instead of generating it, they enable almost 25% cost savings when compared with conventional methods.

The healthcare industry has observed a shift in preference from hospital care to home healthcare over the last decade. This is expected to lead to a significant growth in the demand for healthcare products during the forecast period. In addition, increased healthcare spending will drive the market. According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), healthcare expenditure in the US increased from 2.9% of the GDP in 2013 to 5.3% of the GDP in 2014 to reach $3 trillion or around $9,523 per person. Out of this, hospital care spending accounted for $971.8 billion in 2014 showing a growth of 4.1% over the previous year. Another factor that will also fuel the growth of the market is the significant rise in the number of hospitals and other medical institutions globally. According to the Central Bureau of Health Intelligence, the number of government hospitals in India have risen from 4,571 to 12,000 between 2000 and 2013. These factors have together increased the demand for healthcare packaging products.

The beauty industry can be divided into two broad segments: mass beauty care and premium beauty care, on the basis of the target market and product pricing. Mass category of products is targeted to the middle and lower-income class (C, C-/D+, and D/E class) population, whereas, the premium category of products is targeted to the upper-income class (A/B and C+) or affluent class of population. Based on the ingredients used and brand value, face oils are generally categorized under the premium segment.

Electrical equipment in the power industry is dependent on electric current or electromagnetic field involved in generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity. In the recent years, the transformation of the global power distribution sector through reforms and infrastructure upgrades has triggered the demand for electrical equipment. Rise in environmental concerns has led to significant growth of the renewable energy sector across utilities, residential, and commercial segments worldwide.

In the automotive industry, there is a constant revision and upgrading of technology to increase fuel efficiency in powertrains and reduce vehicular emissions to comply with stringent emission rules. The introduction of electric coolant pumps is a step in this direction. Conventional water pumps used for cooling IC engines are mechanical water pumps, which are belt-power driven and takes rotational energy from the engine. An impeller is installed in the engine, which sends the coolant to the various components of the engine to absorb the heat. Since the water pump is driven by the speed of the engine, it affects either the power of the vehicle or the fuel economy. Moreover, as soon as the engine stops, the flow of the coolant to the different heated components also stops and is no longer able to absorb the heat.

E-commerce or online retail refers to web-based buying and selling of products and services. Despite traditional retailing having a significant market share in the global retail market, e-commerce has gained considerable traction in last five years. Within the e-commerce space, the B2C space is the fastest growing segment, which is attracting the interests of global e-commerce sites like Amazon and Alibaba.

Dyes and pigments are both coloring substances but differ from the other in terms of their solubility. While dyes are easily soluble in water and are absorbed by the material to which they are applied, pigments are insoluble in water and in most solvents. Pigments require mixing with a liquid binder or a carrying base that acts as a glue, and in which the pigment particles remain suspended. Dyes and pigments are used extensively in a range of industries like textiles, paints, pharmaceuticals, coatings, and plastics.

Drying is the oldest method of food processing, which locks in the flavor and nutrients of the foods so that these foods can be enjoyed all year round. Through drying, the moisture from the food can be removed so that microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts, and molds will not be able to grow and the spoilage of food can be prevented. Thereby, the shelf life of food can be increased.

In April 2016, Leyard Optoelectronic and Planar Systems were together awarded the third annual Best of Show Award by NewBay Media publications (TV technology, video edge, digital video, government video, and sound and video contractor). The award was given in recognition of the launch of the enormous 8K Leyard TW series video wall that measured 9.5*5.5 meters and had a display of 1.2-millimeter pixel pitch, and a resolution of 7680*4320. This launch is likely to urge other vendors to come up with innovative products to stay competitive in the market.This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global video wall market for 2016-2020.
