The global controlled release fertilizers market was valued at USD 3,328.4 million in 2018 and it is expected to reach USD 5137.4 million by 2024 at an expected CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period. Rise in the demand for food and crops along with reducing per capita share of fertile land across the world will increase the demand for various controlled release fertilizers in upcoming years. Sharp rise in the population has been observed since the last few years. The high population growth coupled with a rapid pace of urbanization has significantly decreased the share of agricultural land per person. According to a study conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), per capita availability of arable land in the world dropped to around 0.2 hectare. There is a constant need to boost the agricultural productivity across the globe and this will gradually shift focus towards good quality-controlled release fertilizers. Depleting soil quality, increased application of the growth of turf grass, low nitrogen leaching property, less leaching facility, etc. are the prime drivers of the controlled release fertilizer market. High cost of controlled release fertilizers, lack of awareness among the market and fixed rate of nutrient release are some of the market restrainers.

In asymmetric warfare, the opposing sides have unequal military resources. Generally, in these types of warfare, the weaker opponent uses unconventional methods and tactics, to exploit the vulnerabilities of the enemy. The use of remote weapon stations is one such tactic, where the operator firing the weapon is in a safe area, away from the weapon. Remote weapons allocate risk asymmetrically, allowing those who use these weapons to minimize their exposure to risk, while their opponents can be easily attacked. The growth in insurgent groups, with better awareness of the local battlefields, has necessitated the demand for methods and techniques for mitigating these threats, especially in counterinsurgency operations. Non-state actors have started employing the techniques and tactics of asymmetric warfare, and conventional forces require new capabilities to become successful in modern combat situations and post-conflict scenarios. In this regard, the use of remote weapon systems is becoming widespread in several anti-terrorist and counter- insurgency operations.

The increase in road congestion, due to the growing population, and lower emissions from rail transportation, when compared to that of trucks, are leading to the shift of freight transport from roads to railways. For instance, the fuel efficiency of rail transport is three to six times better than that of trucks. The movement of freight through rail produces almost 30%-70% lesser emissions than that of heavy goods vehicle (HGV). Moreover, the transport of goods through rail is economical over the road, as they can be transported over long distance and a large amount of freight can be carried at the same time.

Mobile virtualization is a technology that is used by organizations for installing multiple virtual machines on a single mobile device or smartphone. It helps organization and companies to reduce the operating costs, eliminated downtime failures, and increased IT productivity; thereby, boosting the market growth. It is considered a type of mobile-server computing model in which virtualized apps and desktop applications are stored on a centralized server and not the physical machine. Rise in various cyber-attacks, fraudulent attacks, and data theft on different businesses due to ongoing trend of digitization is one of the major factors that drives the growth of the mobile virtualization market. In addition, rise in need to increase employee efficiency and increase in adoption of smartphones in various organizations at a faster pace boost the growth of the market. Furthermore, increased market for cloud-based virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions and emergence of workspace-as-a-service are anticipated to provide lucrative opportunity for the market expansion.

Power electronics is an engineering study of converting electrical power from one form to another. The world- wide average rate of 12 billion kilowatts every hour of every day of every year, more than 80% of the power generated is being reprocessed or recycled through some form of power electronic systems. A lot of energy is wasted during this power conversion process due to low power conversion efficiency. It is therefore very important to improve the efficiency of these power conversion systems. With the extensive use of efficient and cost-effective power electronics technology across the globe, the energy consumption is expected to reduce up to 35% during the forecast period. The scope of the report discusses the potential opportunities for the market players to enter the global power electronics for electric vehicle market. Furthermore, it provides an in-depth analysis of the market, outlining current trends, key driving factors, and key area of investment. The report includes Porter’s five forces analysis to understand the competitive scenario of the industry and role of each stakeholder in the value chain. Moreover, it features the strategies adopted by key market players to maintain their foothold in the market.

Rise in the automation of complex production systems led to an increase in the demand for components, which are proficient in providing important data regarding the production process. The ability of proximity sensors to work in hazardous conditions, such as extreme humidity and temperature, as well as in chemical processing applications, aided the growth of the proximity sensors market. Rising significance of no-contact sensing applications, along with the interest of automobile and aerospace manufacturers toward the integration of sensor technology in security and infotainment systems, is expected to boost the market opportunities for proximity sensors. Currently, in the automotive industry, there is an increasing demanding for lighter automobiles, especially for usage in electric vehicles. This is encouraging material change in automotive components from iron to aluminum. This, turn, is increasing mixed production lines containing iron and aluminium.

Mortars are infantry weapon platforms used by the defense forces to target hostile ground infantry troops. While mortars with a caliber size of more than 120mm need to be towed on wheels, smaller caliber mortars are generally man-portable. While the high explosive power of mortars render it highly effective against ground targets, the low firing rate and limited range of mortars render them susceptible to aerial threats and render them ineffective in long-range combat scenarios. Several countries are expending significant resources toward augmenting their current military prowess by procuring new weapon systems or modernizing their existing deployed systems with advanced ammunition rounds.

Plant-based beverages are natural and chemical-free milk products derived through grains, seeds, or nuts. They act as a substitute to dairy products for consumers who are allergic to dairy products.
