The global PPE market is primarily driven by an increase in the demand from APAC, where international companies are initiating stringent safety programs in their countries of operation. Certain countries in this region, such as Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, have well-defined government regulations on worker safety, which contribute to market growth. The manufacturing and construction industry in APAC is outperforming the global manufacturing and construction industry and will drive the demand for PPE over the forecast period. Stringent government regulations on worker health and safety also play a key role in the growth of this market.

In the past century, fossil fuels were the chief source of energy worldwide. Among fossil fuels, crude oil has controlled almost all the aspects of the energy business. Crude oil is defined as a mixture of compounds composed primarily of carbon and hydrogen in varying proportions. It also has inorganic compounds such as nitrogen and sulfur and metals like vanadium and mercury. Crude oil is found in specific rock formations, called reservoirs, in the earth's crust. The depth at which petroleum reservoirs are found can vary from oil seeps that flow up to the surface to almost 15,000-meter underground. To reach these reservoirs of crude oil, the surface needs to be drilled until the pre-defined depth is reached.

A normal form of a capacitor is a one that preserves and discharges electrical energy without any loss of energy. A discrete capacitor, on the other hand, can have losses of electric current due to the nature of its capacitor components. Discrete capacitors can be made of different materials such as ceramic or plastic dielectric and also have different types of build-up depending on the applications. These capacitors have varied capacitance fluctuation due to a higher level of frequencies.

The term cyber deception was coined in 1989 by Gene Spafford. He sourced active defenses to identify attacks in the network, slow down attackers while they attempt to infuse virus attacks, learn their techniques, and feed them with fake data. In 1999, the Honeynet Project was launched, with innovation to the deception techniques and ways to understand and learn the behavior and competency of attackers. In 2003, honeypots such as honeyd were introduced that had basic network emulation tools, which waited for inbound network connections and provided limited service emulations. Over a period, the honeypots improved and providers designed honeypots to actively crawl and evaluate potential harmful links.

Carbon brakes were originally used in military aircraft applications due to their low weight and high energy absorption capability. These were made widely available for commercial and civil aircraft in 1980. Historically, the cost association of carbon brakes was much higher than the conventional steel brakes, and their use was restricted to only large long-haul commercial aircraft.

Anti-ship missiles are guided missile systems, which are designed to be deployed against combat ships and large naval boats. To counter these missiles, anti-ship missile defense systems come into play. They consist of the following types: Missile interceptors, Close-in weapon systems (CIWS), Decoy systems, Electronic warfare (EW) equipment, Anti-aircraft guns.

The light sensor market continually experiences changes with the introduction of different types of sensors, which offer different applications such as ambient light sensing, RGB color sensing, gesture recognition, and proximity detection. These sensors are mostly embedded in mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, to control the brightness of the screen and save battery by reducing power consumption. They are also being integrated into televisions, home automation devices, and intelligent lighting for both energy-saving and security purposes.

Pressure sensitive labels in product packaging act as sources of information on pack contents, help in locating products through barcodes, tracking, tracing and authentication of devices and are also useful for promotion and decoration. Pressure sensitive labels are a valuable and easily accessible marketing tool that helps manufacturers to apply labels directly on products.

Financial services are the services offered by the financial sector to help credit companies, insurance companies, account companies, banks, investment fund firms, and finance firms to manage capital. Advances in technology have led to the growth of the financial services industry. Ongoing operational costs in the industry can be significantly reduced with the adoption of cloud computing. It helps financial industries expand their geographical reach and increase customers base.

Smart grid cyber security involves protection against serious cyber threats that affect the users of smart grid technology globally. Security of the smart grid network has been an area of concern for the power utility sector, given the frequent exchange of sensitive information that takes place via communication networks such as the internet, intranets, corporate networks, and extranets. The power utility sector needs various controlling techniques to moderate the adverse effects of unauthorized access of smart grid data. For instance, hackers could assume control of smart grid applications and servers and access confidential information. Hence, the smart grids require security measures that not only administer these systems and equipment efficiently but also ensure a secure exchange of information between these systems.
