In 2015, the Americas had a market share of 54.96%, and it is likely to continue its dominance till 2020 as well, due to their increasing investments in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and their increased deployments for intelligence gathering.In the same year, 26 European countries had active UAVs and robotic programs. The growing extremist threats and territorial disputes have led to rising investments in UAVs by China, Japan, and India, propelling the market in APAC to grow at a CAGR of 15.95%.The conflicts in Iraq (2003-2011) and Afghanistan (2001-2014) have driven the development and deployment of military UAVs by the US armed forces.Demand for UAVs is rapidly increasing from developing nations, such as India,China, and Brazil for command, control, communications, computers, intelligence,surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) operations.

Stringent emission standards across the world are driving the adoption of electric fuel injectors (EFI) in two wheelers. These regulations have played a vital role in driving innovations in technology and have encouraged manufacturers to develop low-cost EFI systems. This trend has resulted in the adoption of the said technology in the entry-level two-wheeler market.Although most premium and high-performance two wheelers are equipped with EFI systems, the next target for manufacturers will be the high-volume mid and entrylevel two wheeler segment. This segment remains a price sensitive market and so Technavio expects manufacturers to refine the manufacturing processes to optimize cost.Advances in technology in the areas of mechatronics and compact designing will be the key focus areas from the perspective of OEMs.The market for two wheeler EFI systems is expected to peek until 2016. After which, it will witness declining growth rates until 2020, as the influence of adoption rates gradually fades. After 2016, the market will be directly correlated to twowheeler production by the end of the forecast period.Another factor influencing the market negatively is the rapidly-developing ecosystem for electric two wheelers, especially in China, which is the second largest market for two wheelers (after India). Although internal combustion engines (ICE)-powered two wheelers will hold high volumes by 2020, the market will have little impact.

A document scanner converts content on the paper in a digital format that can be stored on PCs or cloud. Document scanners are used in homes and offices due to their versatility, reliability, and ease of use. For businesses going digital, these specific units help save crucial office real estate and capital costs while taking care of employees’ need for peripherals to improve productivity.

DAS or distributed antenna systems are components that are used to boost cellular network coverage to deal with dead spots or isolated spots of poor coverage. These isolated or dead spots are mostly in large buildings, especially in closed locations, where the cellular network is the weakest. DAS are installed as a network of a large number of small antennas installed across the building in order to strengthen the cellular network.

The number of global broadband users has increased from 400 million in 2000 to 3.4 billion users in 2015. Globally, 80% of the households in developed countries and 34% in developing countries had internet access by 2015. The high penetration of the internet has led to the growth of digital content streaming and downloading since 2011.

The “sharing economy” movement is maturing and citizens and corporations alike have accepted that popular business models like Uber and Airbnb seem here to stay. This has caused the traditional industries with vested interests in these markets to make adjustments to their own business models and competition strategies with the sharing economy in mind. This had often resulted in the margins in the initial stages of the sharing economy to have either shrunk or stayed the same.

Digestive health food and drinks are products designed to ease the symptoms or discomfort associated with an overburdened digestive tract. These products improve the health of the digestive tract and help prevent many digestive health disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer disease, irritable bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease.

Dietary fibers are long thread-like structures that are widely present in fruits, vegetables, and grains. They are also known as roughage or bulk and include all parts of plant foods that are not digested or absorbed by the body. Though indigestible, they prove to be extremely useful in maintaining bowel regularity and preventing constipation and other bowel abnormalities.

Travel irons, as traveling gadgets, are losing their market share, primarily because most hotels and resorts offer irons as well as laundry services. Also, with the trend of carrying wrinkle-resistant clothes during travel, which do not need ironing, the need for travel irons further diminishes. Travel irons are mostly used by business professionals. However, with increasing consciousness of consumers about dressing even during leisure travel, the sales of these portable, lightweight irons will likely increase during the forecast period. As irons comprise a part of the very basic appliances, there is not much innovation taking place on this front, globally. However, in order to increase the saleability of travel irons and further entice consumers, players are introducing various features such as covetable wings, dual voltage, and compact nonstick soleplates.

The global torque sensor market is largely driven by the automotive industry, as torque sensors are widely used in various automobile components for torque measurement. Rising demand for high-performance vehicles, adoption of conditional maintenance systems, penetration of electric power assisted steering (EPAS) systems, and increasing focus on automotive safety and testing are some of the major factors that drive the growth of the global torque sensor market in the automotive industry. High-capacity torque sensors with a capacity of more than 1000 Nm will be the fastest growing capacity segment in the global torque sensor market during the forecast period. Compliance with machine safety regulations worldwide is a major challenge for torque sensor manufacturers, along with the high cost of manufacturing of these sensors. The growing technological advances across industries and increasing penetration of industrial automation and robotics have generated the need for wireless compatibility in torque sensors. Torque sensor manufacturers across the globe are focusing on the development of new and innovative products to increase their market footprint and to penetrate into newer applications across industries.
