Organic electronics devices have not been able to penetrate most of the market they were designed for, the only exception being the display industry. The display witnessed the widespread adoption of organic electronics, but other sectors have not witnessed a similar impact. Most of the application of organic electronics are in their development phase due to their long research and development cycle. The display market is a perfect case to study the organic electronics market. The display industry was able to overcome the challenges, but the industry has seen its fair share of challenges and setbacks. They have not been able to address several issues related to organic electronics, due to which very few players dominate the market.

A baby monitor is an electronic device that transmits sound and video-related activities of a baby to a receiver, which is usually at the parents' end. The basic version of a baby monitor consists of a radio transmitter that relays sound to the receiver. The receiver contains an inbuilt speaker that enables sound transmission between the baby and parents. This basic version of the baby monitor works within a short or limited range of transmission area. Technological advancements have led to the embedment of advanced features in baby monitors that keep parents updated and connected with their babies, even from a remote location. Vendors have integrated baby monitors with the latest technologies such as video transmission, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity, to connect it with smartphones to provide parents with continuous inputs of the baby’s activities.

The US is a major contributor to global warming through various types of emissions. Most of these emissions are released due to the burning of natural gas or coal by power plants or through vehicles that run on diesel or gasoline. As per the reports published by the National Academy of Sciences, the urgent need to reduce the emission of the heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere is gaining momentum in the last decade.

The development in minimally invasive therapeutic procedures has encouraged the usage of imaging equipment. This increase in the demand for image guidance has propelled the market studied. Additionally, medical imaging has witnessed numerous advancements in recent times. The emerging technologies help in enhancing the resolution and quality of the medical images.

In the recent times, many nations, notably the NATO members, have begun to invest heavily in autonomous military systems. Though the focus had been largely on the unmanned aerial vehicles, the investments in the development of UGVs have also grown recently. In the United States, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has been investing heavily in the UGV technologies. The United States recently called upon defense contractors to innovate more in the area of UGVs, military robots, and drones to focus on improvements on easily upgraded software rather than hardware that can take years to come to the market. It aims to make use of 3D printing to speed up the process. This shows that the investments in R&D are expected to increase for UGVs in the coming years.

Memory devices employ a broad range of the packaging technology from flip-chip, lead-frame, wire-bond to through-silicon via (TSV). With the decrease in dimensions and increase in the chip functionality, a higher number of the electrical connections have to be made to the external circuit. This has also lead to a development in packaging technologies. Flip chip, TSV, and Wafer-level Chip-scale Packaging (WLCSP) are promising technologies to satisfy wider bandwidth, faster speed, and smaller/thinner package. Comprehensible program adjustments, low engineering costs, and easy changeovers are fueling the demand for the wire-bond memory packaging platform.

The wide range of applications for x-rays, such as for bone fractures, infections (pneumonia), calcifications, tumors, arthritis, dental, heart, blood vessel blockages, digestive, cysts, cancer, asthma, lung diseases, etc., indicates the broad range of diagnostic and therapy applications of x-rays that have kept the demand in the market alive. Additionally, radiological equipment has a fixed life cycle span, that results in unavoidable breakdown and degradation or loss of image quality that may render the equipment useless after a certain time period. In medical applications, equipment older than 10 years are not considered as state-of-the art equipment and replacement becomes essential. This creates demand for the replacement of x-ray imaging equipment from medical centers, labs, hospitals, and professionals.

The non-invasive diagnostic imaging techniques are witnessing high demand, primarily for soft tissue diagnosis. These unmet demands are the factors driving the magnetic resonance imaging market’s growth. Furthermore, factors, such as technological advancements, like the inclusion of MRI with PET or CT, to provide imaging possibilities with less exposure to harmful radiations, rising adoption of MRI in developing countries, and availability, along with rising adoption of universal health coverage in the developed and developing markets, are aiding the growth of the market studied.

The translation market is witnessing excess demand, as a result of the increasing use of computer-assisted tools. The necessity to use the technology in favor of the more efficient translation process is, therefore, continuously increasing. This continuous increase can be attributed to the growth of emerging economies and the internationalization of many businesses that want to provide their content, products, and services in as many languages as possible. This requirement might prompt translation companies to rely increasingly on machine translation, as a tool.

LCoS-based products, which offer higher quality and more precise results than competing microdisplay technologies, such as liquid crystal display (LCD) and digital light processing (DLP), are being preferred by component manufactures. Therefore, increasing demand for high resolution display is supporting the growth of the liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) display market. Compatibility with wide range of products, an open technology platform, and superiority in terms of competing technology are some of the major drivers for market growth.
