The rising demand for automation combined with the growing application of IoT devices across various end-user ver ticals, such as heal thcare, consumer electronics, industrial, automotive, BFSI, and retail, are further witnessing growth in the adoption of IoT devices. According to the Internet & Television Association's estimates, by 2020, the number of IoT connected devices is expected to reach 50.1 billion from 34.8 billion in 2018. The growth can majorly be attributed to the integration of connectivity competence in a large number of devices and applications, along with the development of various networking protocols that have appreciably advanced the growth of the IoT chip market across various end-user industries. With the increase in sheer numbers of IoT devices, the chip requirement for building IoT devices is expected to skyrocket over the forecasted period. Along with this, the innovation in reducing energy consumption combined with miniaturization of chips is going to be the priority of manufacturers.

A lead cell is made from three basic components, which are anode, cathode, and electrolyte; where the anode is the negative terminal, cathode is positive terminal, and electrolyte connects both these terminals to drive an electrochemical reaction to produce electricity. A battery that is composed of sponge metallic lead anode, lead-dioxide cathode, and sulphuric acid solution electrolyte is called a lead-acid battery. It is the first battery which is use for commercial applications. It contains toxic lead, but can be recycled.

Microarrays are the most popular form of lab-on-a-chip technology, due to the wide range of differentiation and low price of the equipment. Increasing use of personal medical devices and the need for immediate results from diagnostic tests are the major factors driving the demand for microarrays in the lab-on-a-chip and microarrays market. The lab-on-a-chip segment of the market studied is expected to have a positive market growth due to the rise in demand for diagnostics, increasing global population, and technological advancement. Furthermore, the rise in adoption of personalized medicine, and easy accessibility of lab-on-a-chip technology will augment the demand for the same, across the world. The technological advances have increased the throughput of device production, improved rapid prototyping efforts, and enabled researchers to enhance the complexity and sophistication of experiments that can be performed on a microfluidic chip. As a result, microfluidic technology has its immense potential for research in life science and medicine.  In the United States, the usage of high-throughput screening (HTS) technologies increased drastically in academic research. With the rising interest in HTS, the lab-on-chip technology is expected to be widely used in the country, due to its applications in high-throughput screening.

The market is undergoing a paradigm shift from the traditional modes of broadcasting, such as cable or satellite TV, toward internet-based streaming and internet protocol television (IPTV). The market is expected to observe a robust demand from the developing countries, owing to the growing internet penetration in households and IPTV solutions launched by telecom service providers, over the past few years. For instance, in 2018, Dish TV, a prominent DTH provider in the region, launched a hybrid, connected set-top box that utilized the internet and IPTV.  In October 2019, DreamDTH showcased Jio hybrid set-top box, developed by India’s prominent telecom operator, Reliance. It is a dual-technology platform where live TV is being provided through RF input, by Jio’s partner multi-system operators (MSOs) and their affiliated local cable operators (LCOs). On demand, videos are being provided over ethernet or wifi connection, through Jio Fiber broadband.

While the largest restraint to any new entrant into the global insect feed market is the regulatory framework, many potential investors are troubled by the legislative hurdles. However, since insect farming for animal feed produces hundreds of times more protein feedstock from a single hectare of land compared to traditional sources, the existent political objections are starting to fade out. This indicates that the threat of new entrants is settling at medium. In regions like Australia, where the livestock industry mainly relies on conventional protein sources, like soybean meal and lupin seeds, the insect feed concept is mostly in the nascent stage. Although in markets like Australia the threat of substitutes is very high, the threat of substitutes in the Sub-Saharan Africa, where the insect feed inculcation into the animal feed is not very nascent, is moderate.

The evolution of user interfaces has allowed gesture recognition to emerge as an essential solution for a significant number of applications. The challenge of using big and bulky phones, which incorporate long antennas, physical switches, and buttons, has been overcome using advanced technology. With innovation, the touch-sensitive interaction was incorporated in trackpads, like the IBM Simon. Currently, the touchscreen interface of IBM Simon is an efficient and familiar interface for cellular phone users around the world. Gesture recognition technology is also used in smartphones in the form of recognition of hand gestures to wake the screen.

A flatbread is made with water, flour, and salt and exist in various cultures throughout the world. The thickness of the bread can range from a few millimeters to a few centimeters. Moreover, rather than using a spoon or fork, many people use a flatbread to scoop or wrap food. Multigrain variants of flatbread are gaining popularity owing to increased health awareness. The batters used in flatbreads are often obtained from gluten-free cereals like rice, sorghum, teff, maize, or black beans which are usually fermented. Flatbreads are cooked quickly owing to reduced thickness, so their color remains light. Furthermore, owing to its widespread geographical distribution and high frequency and regularity of consumption, flatbread has been considered a suitable option for increasing the dietary intake of various vitamins and microelements.

Several systems installed in the aircraft like display systems, content, and software for improving the passenger experience and connectivity systems like Wi-Fi routers, will allow the passengers to be stay connected to online platforms. These systems are currently playing an important role in the selection of airlines by the passengers and are playing a major role in the digitization of the aircraft. With FAA permitting the use of electronic devices on the aircraft from gate to gate, inflight entertainment service providers are focusing more on inflight entertainment through the personal electronic devices (PEDs). Inflight live streaming of content has been introduced by some airlines, and currently, other airlines are tr ying to incorporate these into their offerings. Also, the provision of in-seat power has seen an increase in the PED usage, which became the main reason for the growth of Bring Your Own Device initiative. In this market, the operators (IFEC providers like Panasonic) can provide their services in wholesale, retail (revenue sharing), or a third model.

Drones have gained popularity among the companies and civilians over the years. The advantages of drones, like being compact and fast, avoidance of land traffic, etc., have made their use popular in many applications. Over the years, the usage of drones has penetrated into several applications in the commercial sector, such as aerial photography, express shipping and delivery, gathering information or supplying essentials for disaster management, geographical mapping of inaccessible terrain and locations, building safety inspections, precision crop monitoring, unmanned cargo transport, law enforcement and border control surveillance, storm tracking, and forecasting hurricanes and tornadoes. Logistics companies are about to scale up their businesses with drone delivery services after obtaining the regulatory certifications. For instance, in October 2019, United Parcel Service (UPS) subsidiary, UPS Flight Forward, won federal approval to expand its drone delivery operations, allowing the company to use multiple aircraft in multiple locations to make revenue-generating deliveries over longer distances. In addition, many product delivery and courier service giants, like Amazon, Domino’s, Zomato, and DHL, are implementing the idea of delivery by drones.
