In various developed regions across the world, the economic growth acceleration, coupled with fixed investments is expected to favorably influence the demand for the garment care industry. This can be attributed to the fact that the garment care vendors are increasing their output by using technologically advanced and sophisticated appliances as well as reducing the operating costs of the same. Most of the households in the developed economies (the US and Europe) are likely to witness higher spending in the garment care sector owing to the increased disposable incomes. The higher sales of these appliances are expected to be driven by the ongoing mechanization of various application segments in different developing regions of the world. Factors such as an increasing number of single homes, coupled with the capability of making discretionary purchases for consumer- based appliances in developed regions of Europe and North America, are expected to favorably impact the global garment steamer market.

Absinthe is a green or often colorless processed liquor with a very high alcoholic content, flavored with anise, wormwood, and some other aromatic, medicinal, and culinary herbs such as flowers and leaves of Artemisia absinthium. Its alcohol content is around 45 to 76% of total liquid alcohol. When Absinthe does not contain any added sugar in it, it is called spirit. Absinthe is bottled at a very high level of alcohol by volume, but at the time of consumption it is diluted with water. It is conventionally prepared from purification of neutral alcohol, spices, herbs, and water. While traditional absinthes are redistilled from white grape spirit, lesser absinthes were commonly made by alcohol processed from grain, potatoes, or beets. Different kind of herbs may be used in the preparation of absinthe such as angelica, petite wormwood hyssop, Melissa, coriander, star anise, peppermint, and veronica. In past times, when Absinthe was very little known, it had often been popularly portrayed as an addictive psychoactive drug, which causes hallucinogen. Although Absinthe was known as a drug causing hallucinogen, the twenty-first century has seen various types of absinthe, including a range of frozen preparations, which have become increasingly popular. Some of the popular types of absinthe are Blanche absinthe, Verte absinthe, Absenta, Hausgemacht, and Bohemian-style absinthe.

Globally, water usage has been increasing by about 1%, per year, since the 1980s, driven by a combination of population growth, socio-economic development, and changing consumption patterns. The global water demand is expected to continue increasing at a parallel rate until 2050, accounting for an increase of 20%- 30% above the current level of water use, mainly due to the rising demand in the industrial and domestic sectors. Over 2 billion people live in countries experiencing high water stress, and about 4 billion people experience severe water scarcity during at least one month of the year. Stress levels may continue to increase, as the demand for water grows and the effects of climate change intensify. According to the United Nations, at least one billion people around the world lack access to safe drinking water and 2.6 billion do not have adequate sanitation. Global warming and population growth may intensify these scarcities in the years to come, unless water conservation and management practices around the world advance.

Quartz word is derived from querkluftertz, an old German word which means whitish vein quartz. The word Quartz is also derived from ancient Greek word krustallos, which means, ice, because it was believed that the quartz is ice which never melts. The Sumerians cut and carved several quartz stones and used them as a cylinder seals and ring seals. The Egyptians made beads, scarab figures, and other jewelry from quartz stones. Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral which consists of silicon and oxygen atoms. These atoms are linked with each other to form SiO4 silicon–oxygen tetrahedra. The global quartz report focuses on revenue generated from various quartz material as well as end-user industry utilizing quartz including electronics & semiconductor, solar, buildings & construction, medical, optics and telecommunication and other. Moreover, the report analyzes the current market trends of Quartz in different regions and suggests the future growth opportunities by analyzing government regulations & policies, thereby further increasing the consumer acceptance of Quartz. The factors driving the growth of the market includes increasing use of Quartz in end-user industries such as alumina, pulp & paper, soap and detergent, water treatment, and others. In addition, with rise in the chemical industry, the demand for Quartz is expected to increase significantly, as it is used in manufacturing of organic and inorganic chemicals.

Antioxidants are very important for immune defense and health of animals. In order to improve the oxidative stability, and thus, increase the shelf-life of meat, antioxidants are being added to animal feeds. Vitamin E is an essential component of livestock diets. Vitamin E cannot be synthesized by animals, which is why the use of tocopherol is increasing in animal diets. An adequate amount of tocopherol is essential in animal nutrition to protect them from malnutrition and the pathogen. It helps to improve the quality of meat and eggs. In addition, it controls the oxidative stability in the animal's body, and therefore, reduces the unpleasant smell and taste, especially in beef and pork. Moreover, vitamin E is fat-soluble and is incorporated into the lipid fraction of cell membranes as an effective antioxidant defense mechanism. There is also an increase in demand for tocopherols in livestock, more so in the developing regions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Automation is the major trend that is driving the software development in the freight and logistics space, and transportation management systems are rapidly adopting this approach. Automation, coupled with artificial intelligence, has made it easy to build a routing guide that ensures the freight moves with the best, and not just the cheapest, carrier for the job. TMS adoption rate is comparatively on the higher side with the large enterprises, owing to the sheer volume of product variety and services offered. However, the increasing adoption of cloud (SaaS) across various industries is reducing the high initial cost, in turn, providing an opportunity for adoption of TMS by small enterprises as well.

Synthetic diamonds are widely used in superabrasive tools, such as grinding wheels, and cutting, drilling, and dressing tools, for manufacturing products in the automotive, medical, aerospace, and electronics industries. Sharp edge retention and higher strength of superabrasive tools provide higher productivity and better performance, when compared to other manufacturing tools. • In the aerospace industry, super abrasives are widely used, owing to the characteristics, such as hardness, longevity, resistance to abnormal temperatures, and chemical inertness. The application of super abrasive include tooling and grinding solutions for turbine engines and grinding tools for aero structural compounds and air frame. • The aerospace industry is experiencing a stagnant growth, owing to the strengthening of passenger travel demand and rising global military expenditure for the air force industry. Backlog of new aircraft orders and the constant resurgence of business aircraft may further add to the growth of the aerospace industry.

Rising awareness toward predictive maintenance is driving the market, owing to the emergence of Industry 4.0 and sophisticated ‘smarter’ technologies. According to Accenture, predictive maintenance of assets is one matching area of focus, which saves up to 12% over scheduled repairs, reducing overall maintenance costs up to 30% and eliminating breakdowns up to 70%. A breakdown in critical equipment is costly to manufacturers in terms of repairs, as well as the loss of productivity and downtime. Approximately 98% of organizations stated that a single hour of downtime costs over USD 100,000. Ensuring that all equipment function optimally, remains an essential priority for manufacturers, many of whom are turning to predictive maintenance-enabling technology and solutions on their production floor. For pneumatics systems, it means a whole new level of condition and remote monitoring, to the extent that maintenance personnel can determine whether some obstacles have occurred or not.
