The robotic process automation (RPA) market is expected to grow, owing to increasing focus and adoption of a digital workforce, and rising functional benefits of RPA solutions for business process automation across various end-user industries. The adoption rate of RPA in enterprises that face challenges and inefficiencies with the legacy systems is on the rise. The benefits offered by the SPA not only increase the organization's productivity but also enables them to focus on their core business activities. For instance, according to Unit 4, office workers spend 69 days a year on administrative tasks that are repetitive; this costs companies USD 5 trillion a year. According to a study by RPA vendor UiPath, over 90% of organizations are already using technology to automate business processes, and 88% believe that automation will accelerate human achievement and is effective when it complements humans. Customer relationship management, sales and delivery process, human resource process, and invoice management are some of the major areas of applications of the market studied, targeted by vendors for their products.

The market studied is being driven by factors, such as an increase in the R&D funding, along with the increasing healthcare expenditure, and technological advancements, in the laser capture microdissection (LCM).  According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the total R&D expenditure in the United Kingdom is increasing rapidly. During 2016, it was around GBP 33.2 billion, which increased in 2017 and reached around GBP 34.8 billion. Similarly, in the United States, the investment done on medical R&D was USD 39.5 billion, in 2017. This indicated that high investment was done on healthcare in the major countries. As the government and other organizations are investing more into research and development activities related to healthcare, the demand for laser capture microdissection is also expected to propel.  Trends are showing a return to growth, with only minor caution, across most areas of R&D spending. The increase in R&D investment in Asia, particularly India, and the consecutive annual growth in R&D spending in the country, indicate a period of stability, security, and healthy competition across the industrial sectors.

The automobile regulatory framework in Europe and North America has been instrumental in creating a sustainable environment in the automobile industry. The latest regulatory framework, the Euro 6, which was introduced in 2011 and came into effect in September 2014, changed the regulatory standards that have been crucial in determining the dynamics of the automotive market in the region. Since 2013, the EC (European Commission), along with EEA/EMEP, has been maintaining the record of emission performance standard for each new vehicle registered in Europe. The emission regulations bind the automotive manufacturers together. The freight companies and fleet owners are rapidly moving toward incorporating more technologies that are expected to reduce the average emission rate. Thereby, a need to reduce vehicle weight for lowering emission levels has greatly encouraged the employment of high pressure die casting (HPDC) parts in vehicles.

The global ground support equipment market involves the study of various GSE applications such as aircraft handling, passenger handling, and cargo handling. For instance, GSE such as deicers, ground power units, fuel trucks, pre-conditioned air (PCA) units, and hydrant trucks are especially deployed for aircraft handling. Equipment such as belt loaders/conveyors, cabin service vehicles, boarding stairs, lavatory service vehicles, and passenger buses serve the purpose of passenger handling. In addition, cargo/container loaders, pushback tractors, and forklifts are used for cargo handling application. Powered equipment consist of refuelers, ground power equipment, tugs & tractors, portable water truck, generators, baggage conveyor/belt loader, passenger buses, catering truck, passenger boarding stairs, air compressors, portable floodlights, air conditioners, container loaders, lavatory service vehicles, and de-icing vehicles. Equipment studied under non-powered GSE include chocks baggage carts, trestles, intake exhaust cover, oil cart, air cart, dollies, sling cables, ladders, and aircraft jacks.

The report provides market dynamics and trends related to the global neurostimulation devices market. In addition, it presents the market estimations and forecast.
