SiC fibers are manufactured with the help of pyrolysis of organosilicon polymers, such as polycarbosilane. Another method for the production of SiC fibers is the use of the CVD (chemical vapor deposition) method. High strength along with a lightweight, stability over high temperature, and resistance from oxidation and corrosion make it an ideal material to be across various ends use industries such as aerospace and defense, power and energy, chemical, automotive, and others. The rising focus towards the advancement of the performance of commercial and military aircraft is continuously driving the demand for high performance structural materials in the aerospace industry. Composite materials have gained acceptance for aviation and aerospace applications owing to exceptional strength coupled with superior physical properties and stiffness-to-density ratios. The aerospace industry is considered as the prime user of SiC fibers. The use of SiC fibers is important for application dealing in extreme mechanical loads at high temperatures (up to 1900 K in the air) and cannot be met out with any metallic material or intermetallic materials. Another most significant application field of silicon carbide composites relates to the manufacturing of such materials in spacecraft, which could possess lightweight and thermo-mechanical properties at the same time and could bear high temperatures. They are also used to manufacture thruster nozzles, reusable rocket nozzles, thermal protection systems, and turbo pump components for space vehicles. The growing application of silicon carbide fibers reinforced composites is motivating the manufacturers to replace the metal parts in aircraft with the fibers so as to boost the fuel efficiency of aircraft engines and used in the manufacturing of engines, thermal protection systems, and turbopumps. Companies are looking forward to expanding the application base of SiC fibers in the aerospace industry. For instance, in March 2017, it was reported that General Electric had adopted SiC fibers-based CMCs to produce its newgeneration jetliner engines so as to improve fuel efficiency. Furthermore, SiC fibers is also being demanded by the power generation industry. They are used to manufacture land-based gas turbine engines, radiation blankets, furnaces, and components, and other materials in the power and energy generation industry.

These are heydays for the commercial aviation industry as well as businesses supporting it from the maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) sector. For the first time in airline history, carriers recorded three consecutive years of record or near record profits, thanks to constrained fuel prices and operational efficiencies. Rising demand for air travel is keeping production lines at aircraft, engine, and component manufacturers busy and setting records. Lower oil prices, along with the willingness of airlines to spend on upkeep, are resulting in delayed retirements of older jets, which in turn provide more business for the MRO industry because of their additional servicing needs. And despite recent political instability and rising global tensions, aviation seems headed for more of the same—at least over the short term.

With 4.6 billion LTE subscribers expected by the end of 2022 (according to Enensys), Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) still face challenges to retain customers and reduce the churn rate. LTE broadcast serves the purpose for MNOs by providing decent customer experience and satisfaction, thus, allowing the operators to broadcast the most popular content to its subscribers. LTE Broadcasting ensures the quality of the transmitted data, and therefore, the customer experience and satisfaction. The used cases are spread across Broadcasters, Public Safety Services, and Mobile Network Operators. At present, a limited number of telcos have adopted LTE broadcasting and are offering seamless video delivery for its subscribers, with the recent ones to join the list, including Telstra in Australia and Reliance Jio in India. While Telstra launched a nationwide eMBMS service in Australia, Reliance Jio appeared to be using eMBMS, to deliver content to selected users through its JioTV and JioBroadcast apps. Content providers also have been actively participating in the trial of LTE broadcasting. For instance, LTE Broadcast for terrestrial and mobile TV content delivery has been recently demonstrated by MTV, Elisa, Yle in Finland, and IRT and Bayerischer Rundfunk in Germany.

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) refers to all transport systems that are capable of performing driverless operations and functions. The term "driverless" in the automated guided vehicles is used to describe industrial trucks that are used mainly in the distribution and manufacturing settings, which in a traditional scenario would have been driver operated. AGVs are used in different types of industries, and their end-users are mainly technically feasible. However, the purchase as well as the implementation of these systems are based on the economic considerations.

Air emission regulations and legislations, globally, have lasting effects on various markets of the world. The markets that predominantly use fossil fuels were the worst affected with these regulations, and these markets have started to adopt alternative fuel sources that show lesser environment impact. In such a context (with LNG being a relatively cleaner fuel), the market studied was valued USD 250.47 million in 2018, and it is projected to reach USD 760.31 million by 2024, at a CAGR of 15.91% over 2019-2024 (henceforth referred as ‘the forecast period’). The market studied has evolved over the past decade, driven by the growth in the global LNG usage, clean energy demand, and its ability to reduce greenhouse gases emissions. The order and delivery of LNG-powered vessels are growing and the reduced natural gas prices in 2014 have marked the beginning of expanding opportunities for such vessels. A gradual shift to LNG for propulsion is more advantageous, as compared to the traditional methods of fuelling ships with heavy fuel oil, marine gas oil, marine diesel oil, and others. LNG-based propulsion reduces carbon footprint significantly and increases the ship’s operational efficiency.
