Endpoint security refers to the protection of the corporate network when accessed remotely from devices such as laptops, PCs, tablets, and smartphones. Endpoint security mainly consists of two components; security software and client software. While security software is centrally located and is installed on the server, within the network, client software is installed on every external device, and connected to the home network. These servers or gateways verify the log-ins from the endpoints and regularly updates the security software of the device. Consumers use devices like smartphones, tablets, laptops for both personal and professional purposes, making endpoint security solutions an essential tool for securing data.

Construction chemicals are a type of specialty chemicals used during the course of construction. These chemicals impart additional protection to structures such as residential buildings, industrial structures, dams, and bridge against environmental conditions, structural life, and to minimize the amount of raw material required. China has emerged as the leading market for construction chemicals since 2000, globally.

Mining equipment is used for surface mining to extract various resources, such as metals, coal, and minerals from the earth. Mining equipment includes trucks, dozers, loaders, borers, coal and core drillers, stationary and portable crushers, dryers, feeders, hydraulic pumps, conveyor belts, and compressors. Mining trucks, often referred to as haul trucks, are rigid dump trucks exclusively engineered for use in offroad operations such as mining and heavy-duty construction. The capacity of mining trucks range from 90 to 363 metric tons. Mining trucks with capacities ranging from 308 to 363 metric tons are classified as ultra-class trucks.

In 2015, 802.11n based wireless local area network (WLAN) products dominated the market, accounting for a share of 50.3% in terms of shipment and revenue.In 2015, the Americas dominated the market, accounting for 42.02% of the market share in terms of revenue.The availability of enhanced cellular connectivity is boosting the growth of the global mobile access point (AP) market.Increased development of smart cities is contributing significantly to the market growth.High-scale deployment of long-term evolution (LTE) networks for better connectivity is favoring the market.More than 115 million non-smartphone connected devices (mobile PCs, tablets,and mobile hotspot devices) were sold worldwide in 2015 owing to the demand for the internet to access information.

The demand for wind turbines is expected to be significant from emerging economies in APAC such as India and China. For instance, India is expected to double its wind power capacity by 2020 by adding 4,000 MW per annum. Also, the wind power capacity in India has grown five times in the past 10 years to reach 25,000 MW in 2015.Frequent gearbox failures (nearly 60% of failures in wind turbines are caused by faults in gearboxes) coupled with growth in R&D activities in direct drive turbines are expected to hinder the growth of the global wind turbine gearbox market during the forecast period.The market is facing stiff competition from direct drive technology. This has led the gearbox vendors to invest in R&D and offer innovative products. In April 2016, ZF Friedrichshafen introduced the concept of intelligent wind gearboxes to improve the reliability and efficiency of wind turbines. Major features of this concept include Bluetooth smart tags, remote visual inspection, and dynamic load monitoring.As the market is highly competitive, leading companies are aggressively signing joint ventures or acquisition deals to enhance their capabilities and gain a competitive edge. For instance, in December 2015, ZF Friedrichshafen acquired Bosch Rexroth to strength its wind turbine gearbox business.

Smartwatches are not only used for entertainment, fitness, and wellness but also for online retail and banking. eBay was the first online retail vendor that offered its services through Samsung's smartwatch apps in September 2013. In addition,Citibank extended its services to its customers in the US through the Citi Mobile Lite app for the Apple Watch in July 2015.Fitness band providers are launching smart fitness watches or fitness bands embedded with payment technology. This will likely pose a threat to the growth of the smartwatch payment segment. Smartwatches are expensive compared with fitness bands. With the manufacture of fitness bands embedded with payment solutions, the possibility of individuals preferring fitness bands over smartwatches is likely to be higher.

The low manufacturing cost of wearable patches in China supports the market growth.The increasing popularity of wearable patches has encouraged many vendors from different industries to enter the market. Cosmetic companies have started entering the market. L'Oréal is planning to enter the market by 2017, which will likely boost the growth of wearable patches in the non-clinical application segment.The Americas and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) are expected to lose their market shares to APAC mainly because of the high adoption of wearable patch technology in APAC.This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global wearable patch market for 2016-2020.

Before July 2014, the average price of fitness bands was $140-$150, which declined to $105 by 2015. The decline in price was because of the launch of Mi bands by Xiaomi in July 2014, which were priced at $19.99. The decline in price led to the high adoption of wearables, which in turn resulted in an increase in wearable app downloads.Crowdfunding is one of the major funding methods adopted by companies to raise funds for smart glasses projects. It attracts new entrants in the market, which results in intense competition among vendors. It also allows vendors to anticipate customer demands, directly communicate with potential buyers, and involve customers in the product development stage. This will help vendors manufacture products according to customer demands.

The global water sports gear and equipment market will post a significant CAGR of 5.37% by revenue during the forecast period. In the past few years' government support, to increase the revenue generated from the tourism industry across the world, has increased in a large number of countries. This attempt is anticipated to aid in the expansion of the market over the next five years.Modern technology has allowed for the development of more complex and technical water sporting equipment and gear. Moreover, it has paved the way for

improvements in many product features. Currently, raw materials are being developed to better withstand the corrosive ocean atmosphere, which not only increases the longevity of water sports gear and equipment, but also renders these gear and equipment comfortable for end-users. For instance, rubber and plastics enhance the snug fit of masks and goggles, and treated glass improves divers' safety. More efficient and easy-to-use fins allow divers of all types — beginners and professionals — to easily navigate underwater. Eventually, these technological improvements in equipment will make it much easier for people to pursue water sports.

Water-soluble fertilizers are applied to crop through the irrigation water. The global market for water-soluble fertilizers improves the Return on Investment (ROI) and also helps in fulfilling farmers’ and consumers’ demands, from the health and economical viewpoint, with rising per hectare production of quality agricultural entities.Availability of more efficient fertilizer spreaders with better features will also contribute to the market's growth during the forecast period. Government support to increase mechanization in the agricultural sector is leading to an increase in the sales of relatively higher priced versions of mounted and trailed fertilizer spreaders,propelling the market growth.
