The increasing volume of ambulatory surgical procedures, primarily owing to their cost effectiveness is expected to drive the adoption of anesthesia drugs. For instance, in 2015, according to research studies published in the US, the number of outpatient surgeries performed by ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) stood in the range of 7.4-7.8 million.The growing cases of chronic conditions such as respiratory and cardiac disorders will drive the market growth. For instance, according to the CDC 2014, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was the third leading cause of death in the US in 2014. In addition, 15.7 million individuals in the US have been diagnosed with COPD in 2014.The market is expected to witness high adoption of propofol, owing to its increased advantages over conventional anesthetics. For instance, propofol has rapid onset of action, which increases patient compliance and adherence.Growing focus of vendors toward the development of anesthetics for new ROAs will drive the adoption in emerging applications such as pediatric and dental. For instance, in October 2016, St. Renatus launched Kovanaze, a nasal-administered dental anesthetic.Increasing inorganic growth strategies of vendors will help expand their presence in the market and leads to further consolidation. For instance, in June 2016, Aspen completed the acquisition of AstraZeneca's anesthetic portfolio outside the US.

The banking business deals with large numbers of customers including mass market customers, affluent customers, and small business customers. The dealings between the banks and customers happen over various delivery channels, thereby creating significant vulnerabilities across banking systems. The vulnerabilities refer to the fraudulent practices employed by customers and hackers, inadequate internal guidelines, non-adherence by staff, and inadequacy in the technology systems supplied by vendors. The banks have developed sufficient safeguards to deal with operational risk events that are associated with traditional banking delivery channels.

Many top banks are refusing to provide basic loans to entrepreneurs and SMBs as can be observed from different markets like the UK. This is hindering the growth of the technological start-ups online financing platform. The banks are refusing to deal with small businesses that are into digital currencies, payments, P2P lending, and crowd funding. Therefore, we expect the innovative technological models to

increase the capital base available to small businesses and large corporates. This will help businesses to utilize the real-time underwriting technology that is provided by technological platforms, thereby helping businesses to restructure their risk

patterns. As a result, they will be able to provide several flexible lines of credit products to customers.

The demand for MI surgical procedures is increasing rapidly due to its huge acceptance and clinical benefits over traditional/open surgery. The advances in medical facilities and services with faster-acting and more effective anesthesia and less invasive techniques have increased the number of procedures performed in ASCs. This widespread adoption is likely to change the market dynamics of the

ambulatory surgical centers market.The global ambulatory surgical centers market is highly fragmented with top four leading companies that have accounted for approximately 15%-16% of the overall market in 2015.The highly fragmented nature of the market has led to increased consolidation of the ASC industry over the last two to three years. This consolidation is attributed to reimbursement changes, changing regulatory environment, and cost pressures for ASCs providing various surgical options to end-users. For instance, Surgery

Partners is looking to consolidate in this market by acquiring small practices with small numbers of clinicians.
