The past century has seen the dominance of fossil fuels as the chief source of energy for the sustenance of the global economic machinery. Among these fuels, crude oil is one commodity that has controlled almost all the aspects of the energy business. It is defined as a mixture of compounds composed of carbon and hydrogen in varying proportion with the presence of inorganic compounds such as nitrogen and sulfur and metals like vanadium and mercury. The crude oil is found in specific rock formations called reservoirs in the earth's crust. The depth at which these reservoirs occur can vary significantly from pools that flow up to the surface to almost 15,000 meters underground. The method is employed to get to these reservoirs of black gold through drilling the surface until we reach the pre-defined depth.

In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario (considering the base year to be 2016) and the growth prospects of the global airport passenger screening systems market for 2017-2021. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated in the overall market from the procurement of passenger screening systems (i.e., hand-held metal detectors, walk-through metal detectors, walk-through explosive trace detection systems, and whole body imaging systems). However, both the funded and non-funded R&D investments in the development of next-generation passenger screening systems as well as passenger baggage screening systems, have not been

considered while deriving the market size for the base and projected years.

Airport screening systems are being used at the airport security checkpoints since decades. Previously, most of the airport screening process relied on handheld metal detectors or walk-through metal detectors and X-ray systems. However, with the increasing security threats and the inability of the metal detectors to detect non-metallic objects and explosives are forcing many airports to implement advanced imaging technologies and procedures to screen passengers and baggage for explosives and non-metallic weapons.Technavio expects the global airport automated security screening market to grow at a CAGR of 4.97% during the forecast period. In 2016, APAC led the market with a share of 35.24%, followed by EMEA with a share of 33.2%, and the Americas with a share of 31.56%.The countries in APAC are expected to be the fastest-growing markets for airport screening systems over the forecast period. A larger proportion of the shares is

expected from Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.

This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global airfreight forwarding market for the period 2016-2021. To calculate the market size, the report considers the volume of air cargo transported by vendors in the market. The scope of the airfreight forwarding market covered in this report includes all services under airfreight forwarding such as packaging and labeling services, documentation and purchase order (PO) management, charter services, transportation and warehousing, and value-added services (VAS).

Vertical stabilizers or the aircraft tail help to stabilize the aircraft and provide altitude control and direction stability. This helps in maneuvering and trimming, enabling the reduction of aerodynamic side slip. The aircraft stabilizers are sized as small as

possible since they add to the wetted area and weight. The rudder, which is the movable part of the vertical stabilizer (the primary flight control surface of the vertical stabilizer), controls the direction, altitude, and forces of flight.In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario (with the base year being 2016) and the growth prospects of the global aircraft vertical stabilizers market for 2017-2021.

The global aircraft line maintenance market is expected to grow along with the aerospace industry with the procurement of new aircraft and establishments of new facilities. The inclusion of new aircraft in the global fleet, along with aging aircraft that require frequent maintenance, will fuel the market.The rising number of passengers has triggered the civil aviation industry worldwide to refurbish facilities. The rise in air passenger traffic will likely push the number of commercial aircraft fleet during the forecast period.EMEA has the highest market share in the aircraft line maintenance market as many aircrafts and airports are operational in the region. But APAC will have a high growth rate due to the expansion of aircraft fleets and aerospace facilities in the region.

An air purifying mask is a type of a personal protective equipment that is used in different industrial sectors to protect against contaminants, chemicals, and harmful gases and dust. It is also used by individuals to protect themselves against various airborne diseases, pollution, and other impurities in the air.The global air purifying mask market was valued at $3.95 billion in 2016 and is

expected to reach $5.38 billion by 2021, growing at a CAGR of 6.37%.

Ailerons are the moveable control surfaces attached to the outboard trailing edge of each fixed-wing aircraft. They are connected by pulleys, cables, bellcranks, and pushpull tubes to a control wheel or control stick. Ailerons are usually placed in pairs and move in opposite directions during operation. These are one of the primary control surfaces of aircraft, which turn or fine tune aircraft's altitude and provide rolling movement about the longitudinal axis.In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario (with the base year being 2016) and the growth prospects of the global ailerons market for commercial aircraft market for 2017-2021. The average cost of ailerons for each aircraft type (wide body, narrow body, and regional jet) has been taken into consideration for estimating the market revenue.

The demand for engine oils with lighter viscosity index has been rising. It is projected that the demand for lighter viscosity index will further rise in all the regions.The rise in the number of parc vehicles, increase in the average miles driven due to improved road infrastructure, and growing traffic congestion are leading to high consumption of engine oils, driving the global aftermarket for engine oil in passenger cars.Suppliers of engine oils are experimenting with adding different additivities in different composition and proportion to cater to the growing demand for fuel economy benefits, durability, and to reduce carbon emission.Synthetic engine oils are widely accepted as standard engine oil by OEMs due to their environmental benefits as well as technical benefits over conventional mineral engine oils. When suppliers start producing low-cost production techniques of synthetic engine oil, the synthetic engine oil market will replace the semi-synthetic and mineral engine oil market.The aftermarket is predominantly occupied by the full-size segment since the Americas constitute 60.34% of the total market with full-size vehicles (such as mini trucks and SUVs) and these vehicles consume more engine oil than other vehicles.The global aftermarket for engine oil in passenger cars in the full-size segment accounted for 40% of the total market in 2015, whereas the compact segment accounted for 26% and the mid-size segment accounted for 34% of the total market.
