Mobile apps for online classified ads accounted for almost 40% of the total market revenue in 2015.With the growing reach of social networking websites, it has become a common

practice for individuals to share the listing from classified platforms on social networking platforms. This increases the visibility of the listed products or services and helps advertisers generate higher traffic. However, it can also impact the revenue inflow of online classified ad platform providers, if the advertiser directly lists the product on social networking sites without tapping into lassified ad platforms.

The rapidly expanding popularity of off-road events, especially in untapped emerging countries such as Indonesia, China, and India, is one of the primary growth factors for off-road high-performance vehicles.The established markets for off-road vehicles, such as in the US, the Middle East, and Europe, continue to attribute to high volumes owing to a large number of existing off-road events. Such events coupled with expanding culture of off-road vehicle enthusiasts suggest a strong market for such vehicles not just for events but for recreational purposes as well.Government agencies have started adopting all-wheel drive (AWD) pursuitrated vehicles. Also, sports utility vehicles (SUVs) are gradually taking over as the best-selling segment in Europe and China. All these factors drive the market growth. Growing popularity of aftermarket for customization of off-road performance vehicles and worldwide viewership gaining momentum through expansion of TV broadcast of various off-road racing events are some of the trends seen in the global market.

There is a growing convergence of elements, such as gamification, social learning,content management, and collaboration tools, in the modern learning process. As a result, there is an urgent need for institutions to refresh their traditional learning management systems (LMS) with one that incorporates one or more of these elements. This is because the existing systems were not built with the ability to

incorporate upgrades. Hence, it makes a strong case for an end-to-end replacement of traditional LMS.Given the increasing adoption of LMS that has been witnessed in the last five years, Technavio believes that a significant section of this market will be up for

renewal in the next two years. This holds especially true within the higher education segment. As such, it is imperative for nstitutions to use this window as an opportunity to move to next-generation LMS.

The revenue generated from the sales of neurological biomarkers are considered to estimate the market size.Note: All values are rounded off. Due to rounding off, some totals may not correspond with the sum/computation of the separate figures.This market is classified based on two product types: consumables and services.Based on the indications wherein these biomarkers are used, they are classified as Alzheimer's disease (AD), multiple sclerosis (MS), autism spectrum disorder (ASD),and Parkinson's disease (PD). Biomarkers are used in various applications such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and imaging. Based on the end-users of these biomarkers, they are classified as hospitals, research laboratories, and diagnostic laboratories.The report also focuses on the vendor landscape of manufacturers, which provides new developments and an exclusive analysis about top vendors of the market. In addition, the report focuses on the market as a whole, the major drivers influencing market growth, and the challenges faced by vendors. The influence of key emerging trends on current and future market scenarios are also discussed in this report.

The growing incidence of brain aneurysm and cerebral disorders is expected to drive the market growth. For instance, in 2014, approximately six million individuals were affected by an unruptured cerebral aneurysm in the US. Also, approximately 0.7 million strokes occur every year in the US.The rising demand for minimally invasive procedures is expected to fuel the adoption rates for neuroendovascular non-coils, owing to lesser complications.Therefore, neurosurgeons are shifting from their traditional approaches (surgical clipping) to advanced minimally invasive surgeries. Vendors are also focusing on developing minimally invasive devices. For instance, in February 2015, Medtronic received the US FDA approval for its flow diversion Pipeline Embolization Device,which is used for treating brain aneurysm. It is the first flow diversion device to receive approval from the US FDA.

Gas turbines are primarily used in gas-fired power plants; these plants include an internal combustion engine, wherein the fuel is mixed with air, causing ignition. The resultant hightemperature gas is directed toward a gas turbine through a nozzle, which causes the turbine to rotate.

Composites are a class of materials that are made of two or more materials with different properties that are combined to obtain unique characteristics. Advanced composites comprise two major components: a polymer matrix and a reinforcing fiber material. Carbon, glass, and aramid are the commonly used fibers. Epoxy, polyester, phenol, and polyacrylic acid are the major types of polymers used to manufacture advanced composites.

An ACH is a protective combat helmet used by military, homeland security, and law enforcement agencies to enhance a soldier's ballistic and impact protection. The design of an ACH has been derived from modular integrated communications helmets (MICH). An ACH can also be used as a platform to mount electronics such as communication and night vision devices. Although the structure of an ACH reduces the area of coverage, it still contributes to improving the field of vision and hearing, leading to better situational awareness over the current helmets used. An ACH has five basic components: helmet shell, pad suspension system, retention system (chin strap/nape strap), helmet cover, and eye strap.
