The global laboratory information system (LIS) market is driven by the rising demand for lab automation and advancements in R&Ds labs, especially in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological laboratories.  Owing to the emergence of evidence-based medicine, the significance of precise diagnostics is increasing. Hence, it results in better patient care, which in turn, is increasing the pressure on laboratories to perform effectively. It is well known that replacing human tasks with technology improves the performance significantly, especially in the area of healthcare, and this factor is responsible for the popularity of lab information systems (LISs). Diagnostic errors are complex, and it is very important to eradicate such errors. As per the report of the National Institute of Health (NIH), urgent change is required to address the diagnostic errors that are affecting the quality of healthcare systems across the world. In order to eliminate diagnostic errors, companies are introducing novel software that can offer accuracy and true results.

The rising demand for automation combined with the growing application of IoT devices across various end-user ver ticals, such as heal thcare, consumer electronics, industrial, automotive, BFSI, and retail, are further witnessing growth in the adoption of IoT devices. According to the Internet & Television Association's estimates, by 2020, the number of IoT connected devices is expected to reach 50.1 billion from 34.8 billion in 2018. The growth can majorly be attributed to the integration of connectivity competence in a large number of devices and applications, along with the development of various networking protocols that have appreciably advanced the growth of the IoT chip market across various end-user industries. With the increase in sheer numbers of IoT devices, the chip requirement for building IoT devices is expected to skyrocket over the forecasted period. Along with this, the innovation in reducing energy consumption combined with miniaturization of chips is going to be the priority of manufacturers.

The market is undergoing a paradigm shift from the traditional modes of broadcasting, such as cable or satellite TV, toward internet-based streaming and internet protocol television (IPTV). The market is expected to observe a robust demand from the developing countries, owing to the growing internet penetration in households and IPTV solutions launched by telecom service providers, over the past few years. For instance, in 2018, Dish TV, a prominent DTH provider in the region, launched a hybrid, connected set-top box that utilized the internet and IPTV.  In October 2019, DreamDTH showcased Jio hybrid set-top box, developed by India’s prominent telecom operator, Reliance. It is a dual-technology platform where live TV is being provided through RF input, by Jio’s partner multi-system operators (MSOs) and their affiliated local cable operators (LCOs). On demand, videos are being provided over ethernet or wifi connection, through Jio Fiber broadband.

The evolution of user interfaces has allowed gesture recognition to emerge as an essential solution for a significant number of applications. The challenge of using big and bulky phones, which incorporate long antennas, physical switches, and buttons, has been overcome using advanced technology. With innovation, the touch-sensitive interaction was incorporated in trackpads, like the IBM Simon. Currently, the touchscreen interface of IBM Simon is an efficient and familiar interface for cellular phone users around the world. Gesture recognition technology is also used in smartphones in the form of recognition of hand gestures to wake the screen.

Several systems installed in the aircraft like display systems, content, and software for improving the passenger experience and connectivity systems like Wi-Fi routers, will allow the passengers to be stay connected to online platforms. These systems are currently playing an important role in the selection of airlines by the passengers and are playing a major role in the digitization of the aircraft. With FAA permitting the use of electronic devices on the aircraft from gate to gate, inflight entertainment service providers are focusing more on inflight entertainment through the personal electronic devices (PEDs). Inflight live streaming of content has been introduced by some airlines, and currently, other airlines are tr ying to incorporate these into their offerings. Also, the provision of in-seat power has seen an increase in the PED usage, which became the main reason for the growth of Bring Your Own Device initiative. In this market, the operators (IFEC providers like Panasonic) can provide their services in wholesale, retail (revenue sharing), or a third model.

Enterprise application integration (EAI) enables applications to share data, regardless of where they are hosted. EAI unites databases and workflows associated with business applications to ensure information is represented and used consistently. With enterprise application integration, changes to the core business data in one application are correctly reflected in other applications. EAI is developing as a mission-critical solution for modern businesses today. It involves the use of methods and tools aimed at the optimization and modernization of computer applications within an organization. In a typical enterprise, whether small or medium, or large, the EAI accounts for a 35% share of the overall spending on application design development and maintenance. Businesses today need robust connectivity, with a wide range of applications that have smart data mapping.
