With increasingly stringent environmental concerns, governments and environment agencies across the world have been continually working toward reducing exhaust emissions. They have also been focusing on improving fuel economy, which, in turn, is expected to aid in reducing exhaust emissions. As a result, automobile manufacturers have been working toward reducing the overall weight of vehicles, as it can ensure prominent reduction in CO2 emissions. Weight reduction of 10 kg is estimated to save 1 g of CO2 emission per kilometer. In this regard, the focus on the adoption of subsystems, like EPS, has increased, as the incorporation of the EPS results in significant weight savings. In EPS, an electric steering system replaces the hydraulic piston and pump with an electric motor. The motor draws electricity from the battery, only when the vehicle is turning. There is no power loss in such systems, which decreases the fuel consumption of the vehicle. In addition, the aforementioned developments aid in weight reduction, in turn resulting in fuel efficiency of up to 3% and less carbon emissions. When compared to the hydraulic power steering systems, increased fuel efficiency is one of the most deserving advantages of the EPS systems. Furthermore, the automotive industr y’s paradigm shift toward electric mobility is projected to shift the focus of the manufacturers toward electric vehicle (EV) production, over the coming years.

The nature of air-based warfare has changed in the recent years with the advent of more lethal, agile and untraceable threats having autonomous capabilities. As threats increase, the countries are compelled to safeguard their territories from potential adversaries at any cost, due to which the emphasis on enhancing the air defense capabilities increased. Major defense exporters, like the United States, Russia, and Israel, are looking at Asia-Pacific as the region with the highest growth potential and are pitching their air defense systems to various countries in the region. The growing territorial disputes in the region are propelling the countries to develop their own air defense systems to reduce dependency. Rapidly emerging technologies have substantially altered the balance of power in recent years. The market is expected to grow primarily due to the growth in air-based threats and the increasing defense expenditures that facilitate both procurement and R&D in newer technologies. However, this growth is subjective to several associative factors, such as allocation of funds, which can be adversely affected due to the projected onset of an economic turndown and various technical factors that may eventually lead to the program delays and cancellations.

Growing technological advancements and innovation has evolved the automobile industry since its origin in the nineteenth century. Since the past two centuries, the automotive industry has shaped the world’s economy and the lifestyle of billions of people. The convergence of various emerging technologies in the industries within the automotive ecosystem, such as driverless vehicles, advanced vehicle sensors, and connected vehicle technologies, among others are various factors changing the paradigm of the automotive industry. Though still in its initial stages, self-driving technology is becoming increasingly common and could drastically change the landscape of our transportation system. Numerous self-driving technologies have been developed by key players in the industry, such as Google, Uber, Tesla, and Nissan, among others. While design details may vary, most self-driving systems create and maintain an internal map of their surroundings, depending on a wide array of sensors, such as radar, cameras, LiDARs, and ultrasonic sensors. The self-driving prototypes developed by Uber use sixty-four laser beams, along with other sensors, to design their internal map. The prototypes created by Google are at various stages, and are using lasers, radar, high-powered cameras, and sonar. Various software providers are integrating with autonomous car developers to deliver software platforms and solutions to processes inputs, plot paths, and deliver instructions to the vehicle’s actuators, which control acceleration, braking, and steering.

With 5G networks soon to be rolled out, smartphone OEMs telecom players are rapidly gearing towards the shift. Telecom service providers across the globe are upgrading to 5G networks, which rely on denser arrays of small antennas to offer ultra-high data speeds. At the same time, smart phone manufacturers are working towards equipping handsets with built-in 5G radios, to exploit complete potential of 5G networks. Such efforts are increasing the demand for 5G modem chipsets, which are considered to be the keys that allow devices to support 5G technologies. These 5G modem chipsets, in combination with service providers, largely serve and enhance the capabilities of three major applications: enhanced mobile broadband, ultra-reliable and low latency communications, and massive machine type communications. 5G technology is not yet commercialized, and some countries still face several regulatory constraints. A few pilot countries, however, such as the United States, Japan, South Korea, and China, have reportedly started licensing mmWave spectrums for research and testing purposes.

Multi-layer ceramic capacitors were first developed in the 1970s and 1980s, but their widespread adoption was possible in the last decade with the development of new dielectric materials and fabrication methods. The MLCC (Multilayer ceramic capacitors) possess unique characteristics like flexibility in size or shape, low cost, ability to withstand high voltages and are considered to most reliable. However, the most crucial characteristic that resulted in their widespread adoption was their ability to pack multiple components into a single package. Each MLCC has hundreds of layers and each layer acts as a separate component. This eliminated the use of additional components in the circuitry. MLCC were at the center of all the technological innovations that happened in the last decade, and they can be considered to be one of the enablers of new innovations in consumer electronics, telecommunications, and energy storage. The impact of MLCC has been such that the new technologies, like IoT, 5G, and EVs, are highly dependent on the availability of MLCCs. This has driven the manufacturer to align the product line and production capacities, to serve the requirements of the technologies.
