The concept of fast casual restaurants came into existence in the late 90’s, however it gained much of the traction in 2009. The fast casual restaurants prepare fresh food rather than assembling them as in the case of fast food restaurant. High quality ingredients, locally sourced, fresh, and organic are the some of the many characteristics of the fast food restaurants. Furthermore, the prices of fast casual restaurants are higher than that of fast food restaurants but considerably lower than that for fine dining. The global fast casual restaurants market is analyzed on the basis of its prospects and future growth rate. The report highlights numerous factors that influence the growth of the global fast casual restaurants market. These include market forecast, drivers, restraints, opportunities, and role of key players operating in the market. By food type, the market is classified into burger/sandwich, pizza/pasta, Asian/Latin American Food, chicken, and others. By mode of operation, it is bifurcated into dine-in and takeaway. By nature, it is divided into franchised and standalone. Furthermore, it includes revenue generated from the sales of fast casual restaurants across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Expanded polypropylene foam is an environmentally-friendly product, it can be recycled easily, and is 100% non-toxic. Recycling of polypropylene is emerging as an important, and economically viable option on a large scale. The recycling process involves five steps, namely collection, sorting, cleaning, reprocessing by melting and producing new products from recycled PP. Thus, the first three steps are the same as recycling most other commodities. However, the last two are critical. In the reprocessing phase, collected PP products are fed into an extruder, where it is melted at 2,400 °C and cut into granules. These pellets are then ready for use in the production of new products.  Efforts to improve polypropylene recycling have been ongoing which will aid the EPP foam market to expand during the forecast timeframe. Nextek Ltd, a UK-based plastic design and recycling consulting company has invented an innovative process to decontaminate food grade polypropylene for reuse in a closed loop back into food packaging. The Nextek developed process involves two steps: The first phase involves melting PP at nearly 250 °C to get rid of contaminant molecules. The second and last step includes removing residual molecules during under vacuum and solidification at about 140 °C. The products made following this process can be blended with virgin PP at a rate up to 50%.

The construction industry is highly dynamic, and numerous factors, such as overall economy, budgets, and global economic scenario, are influencing the market’s growth. Volatility in these aspects affects the businesses of construction equipment OEMs, as well as construction rental equipment. This, in turn, is leading to price fluctuations of new, used, and rental equipment. The ASEAN region holds significant oppor tunities for the growth in demand for construction machinery. With the prospects of large infrastructure projects and shifting labor dynamics, the construction equipment rental market is expected to witness growth post-2020 during the forecast period. With a sudden outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic across the world, many economic sectors, including the construction industry, have been under lockdown for a few weeks/months in the first quarter of 2020. In the ASEAN countries, the construction sector is expected to grow at a rate of more than 6% post-2020. It is estimated that over the next five years, the combined value of all the megaprojects in the ASEAN region is expected to be valued at USD 2.9 trillion. Of this value, about USD 1.5 trillion is invested in the planning/pre-planning phase.

The compressed air energy storage (CAES) technology includes the storage of energy by compression of air and storing the same in the underground cavern. The power is generated by heating the pressurized air and expansion of the same in a turbine, which drives the generator, leading to the power generation. Since 1870, CAES systems have been deployed to provide effective, on-demand energy for cities and industries. CAES offers the potential for both large- and small-scale, on-site energy storage solutions, as well as larger installations that can provide immense energy reserves for the grid. The first CAES plant of capacity 290 MW was set up in Germany in 1978, and a 110 MW plant commenced operation in Alabama in 1991. The successful operation of these two plants demonstrated the technical viability of CAES technology in supplying ancillary services, load following, and intermediate power generation. Despite its success, the market for CAES is in the nascent phase, due to several reasons, such as lack of investment and lack of technology, which prevented the development of new CAES plants. However, the market is expected to witness growth during the forecast period, owing to the increasing awareness of energy storage and investments on this technology
