Genetic engineering is an advanced technology that modifies chromosomal DNA of animals and plants using molecular scissors (such as restriction enzyme that cut DNA into pieces). Genome engineering is now in the forefront of healthcare gaining traction with its use to fight diseases such as cancer, HIV, Malaria, sickle cell diseases. Pharma companies have entered this field to develop personalized medicines which can cure diseases more efficiently. For instance, in June 2014, Pfizer announced a collaboration with Cellectis, to develop a chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART-T cell) for anticancer immunotherapies.

FPS are offshore production facilities that are used for the production of hydrocarbons. The process involved separates oil, water, gas, sand, and so on, and distributes the yields to storage, disposal, or transportation facilities. FPS are an essential component required for offshore oil and gas developments. FPS are used for drilling and exploration activities in offshore oil and gas production at various water depths. Main types of FPS include FPSO, production semisubmersibles, TLP, SPARS, and others. Globally, the most common types of FPS units are FPSOs. FPSOs are ship-shaped vessels, which have a processing equipment and hydrocarbon storage capabilities. After processing, an FPSO stores oil or gas before unloading to shuttle tankers or transporting hydrocarbons through pipelines.

The demand for flavored milk is expected to increase during the forecast period mainly due to the fact that flavored milk is increasingly being preferred as a drink to be consumed after workout sessions.

With the continuous technological advancement in the automotive world, there has been an increasing trend in installing more and more electrical accessories in vehicles, generating the requirement for powerful batteries to operate them.The demand in the automotive world for the replacement of parts and accessories is strengthening the growth of the aftermarket for such products including automotive batteries.Increased traffic congestion drains out batteries leading to shorter lifespans giving rise to the need for frequent replacement of batteries, resulting in a year-on-year growth for battery aftermarket.This report focuses on the current scenario and the prospects of the global automotive battery aftermarket for the period 2015-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the sales figures of the different vehicles segment such as passenger cars,LCVs, and M&HCVs. The multiplication factor has been derived based on the average life cycle of the battery for the different vehicle segments, which was multiplied by the sales figure of the different segments.

Stringent vehicle safety regulations and growing awareness about in-vehicle safety systems are driving the deployment of airbags in vehicles. In terms of vehicle type,passenger cars will continue to be the highest volume market due to rapid adoption of airbag systems, whereas light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs) are expected to gain traction during the forecast

period owing to rising adoption of safety measures like airbags by commercial businesses such as fleet operators/freight businesses.

In 2016, the automotive industry witnessed a historical number of vehicle recalls by automakers such as Toyota, Nissan, Ferrari, and Mitsubishi among others because of hazardous inflators equipped by a leading airbag player. Such manufacturing defects and potential hazards associated with the chemicals contained in the airbag inflators can affect the confidence and buying decisions of consumers. Such issues need to be tackled well at the manufacturing and testing bases to earn the confidence of consumers regarding the safety benefits of having airbags installed in vehicles. These product recalls have indeed induced a negative sentiment about airbags as a safety device. However, Technavio predicts that with appropriate corrective measures by the players operating in this space, the market is bound to revive.
