The market studied is largely driven by the increasing demand in topical analgesics, growth in the geriatric population resulting in the rising prevalence of various diseases, and the cost-efficiency of OTC analgesics drugs. The aged population is more likely to have arthritis, bone and joint disorders, cancer, and other chronic disorders associated with pain. Between 25% and 50% of community-dwelling elderly have several chronic problems. In recent years, the application of OTC analgesics has increased by leaps and bounds, providing great opportunities for improving the management of chronic pain, by improving the efficiency and efficacy of treatment. As per National Institute of Health (NIH), more than 30% of Americans are suffering from chronic pain. Additionally, data from CDC revealed that around 20.4% (50.0 million) of the US adults had chronic pain and 8.0% (19.6 million) had highimpact chronic pain, in 2016. This high prevalence rate denotes the importance of pain management drugs for treating chronic pain.

Non-destructive testing (NDT) involves inspection, testing, or evaluation of components, materials, or assemblies. NDT involves examination for disparities in characteristics or discontinuities, primarily without hampering the serviceability of the product or part. Re-usability of an object after inspection with little-to-no effect on operating performance, coupled with the right balance between quality control and cost-effectiveness, positioned NDT as a go-to solution across all end-user verticals. The factors significantly driving the growth of the market include stringent regulations mandating safety standards and rising focus on safety and maintenance of aging infrastructure. Non-destructive testing equipment emerged as an essential par t of every industrial toolbox. Building welded structures or industrial plants without NDT would be synonymous to building without cleaning or measuring or welding. Maintaining aircraft, refineries, or rotating equipment without NDT would be like maintaining without lubrication or checking for corrosion or tightness. In terms of technique, ultrasonic and radiography testing are witnessing incremental innovations aimed at filling gaps in the existing market product portfolio. Within ultrasonic testing, the market for phased array ultrasonic testing is witnessing saturation, while guided wave ultrasonic testing is being dubbed as one of the most significant techniques.

solution continues to be used, driven by low-end mobile phones, targeting emNAND flash memories are known for their uncomplicated structure, high capacity, and low cost. Their typical features are sequential reading, architecture, and high density. NAND flash memories are becoming more popular due to their usage as Solid-State Drives (SSDs) and USB flash drives, which are called flash storage devices. With the rise of PCs and smar tphones, NAND flash consumption is dramatically increasing, much of which is attributed to the growth of the average capacity in smartphones. This is expected to drive the demand for NAND flash packaging, thus influencing the demand for memory packaging. According to the Micron, in 2017, the average smartphone contained 43 GB of NAND flash storage, and it is expected to grow substantially over the next four years. By 2021, the company estimates that the average phone may have 142 GB of NAND flash storage, with flagship devices having one terabyte of flash storage. Within mobile phones, use of NAND flash for improved data storage has grown in areas, such as multi-chip packages (MCP) and package-on-package (POP), and high-density embedded storage, and MCPs/POPs and card slots in handsets.

The demand for micronutrients has been rising in the recent years, due to accelerated rates of nutrient removal in high-yielding crops. The increased encouragement from the government agencies over the use of micronutrients, in order to increase the agricultural productivity and build sustainable food systems globally, are expected to augment the growth of micronutrient fertilizers in the global market. The lack of awareness about the benefits of using micronutrient fertilizers among the farming community in developing countries and high cost associated toward the purchase of these fertilizers are some of the factors, which limit the growth for micronutrient fertilizers in the global market. There are concerns over the recent outbreak of Coronavirus, which may create further cutbacks in the micronutrient fertilizers production in countries, such as China. The grains and cereals segment of the market studied cornered the highest share of 44.2% in 2019, owing to high occupancy of cereal acreage in the global crop lands. High demand for enhancing the yields of maize, rice, and wheat, coupled with their soil micronutrient deficiencies, especially for zinc, manganese, boron, and iron, are anticipated to drive the micronutrient fertilizers for the cereals and grains segment, during the forecast period.

The massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) technology is the most recent iteration of antennas. With the wide range of advantages, such as increased range and 3D beamforming, it is expected that this technology will rapidly expand the adoption rates of this technology, especially in the advanced telecommunication markets, like North America and Europe. However, in the case of much higher demand zones of Asia-Pacific, this technology is still in the testing phase and is limited to the top-end commercial applications only. The ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 propelled the industries in all the sectors to either stop their manufacturing completely or grant work from homes to their employees. This boosted the usage of internet for browsing online media content, increased calling are some of the factors that are putting a burden on the existing networks. Therefore it has become imperative for the players in the telecom industry to look for solutions like MIMO in order to provide uninterrupted services to its consumers. In recent years, the increasing number of mobile devices for commercial use, coupled with the trend of ‘bringing your own device’ (BYOD) to work, created an enormous demand for high-speed internet connections, which is expected to further propel the growth of the market.
