Bed & upholstery vacuum cleaners are the latest innovation in the comparatively mature global vacuum cleaner market. These vacuum cleaners have special features that can deep clean the mattresses and upholstery, thereby eliminating 99% of allergens and dust mites with its improved cyclonic suction, vibrating pads, and UV lights and other features. These are handheld devices with comparatively low power capacity and bagless dust collectors. The market for bed & upholstery vacuum cleaners is currently at the introduction stage; however, their adoption and penetration have been relatively low primarily due to the high penetration of general household vacuum cleaners that are also being used to clean beds or furniture. Further, the availability of dust-resistant mattresses or mattress covers is also resulting in the reduced adoption of such technology.

Backup camera for an automobile is used to get a clear picture of the backup side of the vehicle in order to avoid collisions and accidents which take place due to no visibility while parking the vehicle. Backup camera which are installed on the backup side of the vehicle helps to determine the backup blind spot thus preventing the accidents to occur. The area directly behind vehicles is known as a "killing zone" due to associated accidents and backup camera are used to avoid such kind of accidents. Backup cameras are usually attached to the head unit display of the vehicle and are designed in such a way that the image produced as output is horizontally flipped, thereby producing a mirror image of the object. Various governments across the globe have set regulations for vehicles to be equipped with backup camera as a mandatory component to ensure safety while parking the vehicle, which supports the growth of automotive Backup camera market.

Advancement in the field of patient simulators has enhanced the market. Many industry players have come up with innovative types of simulators in the last few years. The advancement in the simulators has led to faster and easier treatment and recovery of patients. Also, the investments from public and private investors are rising for the simulators. To improvise the technique, there have been various innovations as well as developments in the field. There have been numerous image enhancement innovations in recent years to enable better usage of simulators. New technologies were developed to reduce the time of the surgeons and the patients. For instance, in April 2017, Japanese researchers created a 3D printed robot to practice medical simulation. The robot named ‘Mikoto’, had realistic 3D printed organs, which provided a better realistic training simulation experience for medical students. The robot had initially been developed for three medical procedures: endotracheal intubation, gastrointestinal endoscopy and sputum suctioning. The robot is also equipped with various signals that sense pressure and pain and accordingly release signals and alert the practitioners. Thus, the innovative steps and technological advancements undertaken by new entrants as well as established market players to improve the quality and efficacy of patient simulators is expected to favour the growth of the market in the years to come..

Asthma in older adults has a notable impact on the elderly's quality of life. Asthma coincides with conditions such as obesity, decreased immunity, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which are most common among this age population. Therefore, asthma can often be complicated and difficult to spot in the elderly and it often goes. Population Census 2011 stated that, there are nearly 104 million elderly population who are aged 60 years or above in India. Out of which 53 million are females and 51 million males. A report published by the United Nations Population Fund and HelpAge India states that the number of elderly persons is expected to grow to 173 million by 2026. Moreover, as per the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), China's elderly population is expanding more rapidly than the total population. The elderly population rose from 42 million in 1953 to 72 million in 1978. According to UN projection, China's elderly population will rise to 11% by the end of the century and 20% by 2025. The factors for the increase in the elderly population are a better standard of living and health care, a declining birth rate, longer life expectancy, and aging baby boom cohorts born in the last 30 years. Additionally, as per the Nippon Communications Foundation, In Tokyo, the total number of population aged over 75 will rise from 1.47 million in 2015 to 2.27 million in 2045.

X- Ray security scanner market operates in a consolidated market scenario. Price differentiation is a major market strategy adopted by the players operating in the market. Generally, products of established companies are high-priced in comparison to the local players. Furthermore, companies highly dependent on government tenders or contracts for a major share of their revenues. Also, the maintenance services for these X-ray security scanners generate a significant amount of revenues. There is a huge price difference by tunnel dimension area; for instance, the device deployed for baggage scanner is relatively cheaper than those deployed at vehicle and cargo inspection checkpoints. Terrorism and criminal threats further boost the deployment of the device with variation across various industry verticals. Besides this, the installed mounting base further creates prospects for aftermarket and software upgrade returns. Companies operating in the market are focusing on expanding their footprints into emerging economies of the world. This is due to increasing infrastructural developments in these economies owing to the increasing urban population. Moreover, stringent government regulations towards safety and security concerns are propelling the growth of the market. High risk of terror attacks is another factor bolstering market growth. The government of countries across the globe is concerned about their public safety and hence, mandating proper security checks at public places.

The ultrasonic sensors measure distance through ultrasonic waves. The sensor head releases an ultrasonic wave and accepts the wave reflected back from a target. These sensors measure the distance to the target by calculating the time between emission and reception. The ultrasonic sensors are broadly used in diverse industries, including food & beverage, chemical, medical, automotive, agriculture, process, wastewater management, and more. These sensors have their application in a conveyor belt, smart parking, vehicle detection for car washes, pallet detection with forklifts, diagnosis, liquid level sensing, trash level monitoring, production lines, and others. Some of the prominent benefits of ultrasonic processing technology include process intensification, low power consumption, low cost of processing, operator-friendliness, simple adaptability to specific applications, and environmental safeness makes ultrasonication a technique for the reliable product quality with better outcomes. Owing to an increase in integrating automation into manufacturing and other industries, the use of industry 4.0 is contributing heavily towards the growth of the ultrasonic sensor market. Moreover, the use of sensors in autonomous vehicles and other vehicles with ADAS features to measure the range during parking is giving other opportunities to the automotive industry for growth. On the contrary, the availability of substitute products such as an optical sensor for measuring distance might act as an obstacle in the growth of ultrasonic sensor market.
