The Hadoop as a Service (HaaS) platform enables organizations to use Hadoop technology in a highly cost-effective manner, along with ensuring minimal consumption of time. Hadoop is mainly a software framework which is used to manage data and storage for big data applications in clustered systems. It gives users the ability to collect, process, and analyze data. Despite Hadoop being the leader, not all organizations are capable of installing as well as maintaining in-house Hadoop environment. Users do not have to invest in or install additional infrastructure on premises when using the technology, as it is provided and managed by a third-party vendor. Customers using HaaS, do not need to invest in or install additional infrastructure on their premises. This helps them to concentrate on their core businesses.

Silicate paint is prepared from a mixture of silica and resinous substances. Owing to the properties of silicate, such as environmentally friendly, non-toxic applications, good adhesion, hardness, acid rain resistance, antifungal properties, reducing carbonation of cement-based materials, heat resistance, and being chemically unreactive with metals, among others, silicate coatings are widely used in the building and construction industry. Silicate coatings are commonly used in metal structures; hence, this type of paint can be used in hot conditions and for metal structures. Moreover, silica provides good adhesion to the paint, which forms a hard surface after it dries. This surface can resist extreme heat with a high level of resistance. The construction industry is the largest end-user segment of the market studied. Moreover, the ongoing trend of smar t city projects is also anticipated to drive the demand for silicate coatings. The construction sector of the Asia-Pacific region has been witnessing a steady growth over the recent past, owing to the presence of fast-growing economies, rapid urbanization, and rising infrastructural spending.
