The major factors attributing to the growth of the market are the increasing number of disabling hearing loss cases, rising geriatric population indirectly contributing to increased awareness of these devices, and increasing technological advancements by the companies. As per the revised World Population Prospects, by the United Nations, the number of people aged 60 or above is expected to grow greater than double by 2050, i.e. from 962 million in 2017 to 2.1 billion in 2050, worldwide. This age group is much more vulnerable to hearing loss, which boosts the demand for these devices in the market. According to “The Global Burden of Disease Study 2017” Disease and Injury Incidence and Prevalence Collaborators report, the estimated population with hearing loss rose from 1.2 billion (17.2%) in 2008 to 1.4 billion (18.7%) in 2017, for whom proper well-coordinated global action is needed.

The report provides market dynamics and trends related to the global electroencephalography equipment market. In addition, it presents the market estimations and forecast of the market.

Environmental monitoring involves the evaluation of the quality of the environment to control the risk of pollution. The primary goal of environment monitoring system is to monitor different environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, airflow, smoke and to keep a detail record of these factors with a live video streaming using a high-quality camera. Surge in health concern and increase in deaths due to rise in pollution levels and rise in the need for better resource management drive the growth of the market. In addition, ongoing installation of environmental monitoring sensors and development of environmentally friendly industries propels the growth of the market. However, high product costs and slow implementation of pollution control reforms in emerging countries are expected to impede the market growth. Furthermore, rising participation and investments by businesses for deployment of pollution monitoring is expected to present major opportunities for the expansion of the market in future.

Batteries have the capability to tackle one of the most important social, economic, and scientific challenges of the 21st century, i.e., the ability to store electrical energy for decentralized stationary or mobile applications. At a global scale, across several sectors, exist multi-fold opportunities, and future battery technologies. Among different types of secondary batteries, lithium-ion is becoming a more popular battery technology, majorly due to its favorable capacity-to-weight ratio. Other factors in boosting its adoption include better performance, higher energy density, and declining price. The lithium-ion batteries were initially developed to serve the consumer electronics sector as these batteries last for a large number of charging cycles, have a high capacity-to-weight ratio, and high energy density, which makes them ideal for consumer electronics applications. The price of lithium-ion batteries is usually high compared to other batteries. However, leading players in the market have been investing to gain economies of scale and R&D activities to improve their performance and prices.
