Automotive airbag is a safety feature installed in vehicles to manage the impact of a collision and to protect the passengers in the event of an accident. It is engineered to inflate quickly depending on the impact of the collision. Automotive airbags are categorized under automotive passive safety features as they are reactive measures of safety post an event of collision. Various types of airbags are used in vehicles depending on their application. These include frontal airbags, side airbags, curtain airbags, seatbelt airbags, knee airbags, and external airbags. The names are associated with the strategic placements of these airbags inside the vehicle. In this report, Technavio covers the market dynamics of frontal, curtain, knee, and external airbags.

The suspension system in a vehicle makes a vehicle ride comfortable and helps keep the vehicle in control. The suspension system essentially maximizes the friction between the tires and the road to provide steering stability and the required road grip. The main functionality of a suspension system is to offer driving comfort for passengers by absorbing vibrations and protection of the chassis components and body of the vehicle. The conventional suspension system is made up of several components like the chassis, which holds the body of the vehicle. The coil springs provide support to the vehicle weight and tend to absorb vibrations and noise when the vehicle is in contact with the road, thus reducing the shocks from affecting the passengers. The coil springs, struts, leaf springs and dampers are some of the suspension components which are predominantly used in all vehicles.

The global arthroscopy devices market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.35% during the forecast period. There is an increased demand for arthroscopy devices in individuals with orthopedic, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2014, more than 72 million people in the US had disc degeneration. The market is also driven by the growing older population in the US, Europe, and Japan. In developed markets such as the US and Germany, the availability of reimbursements for orthopedic procedures is likely to boost the market growth. Also, the market is driven by a growing number of orthopedic disorders such as osteoporosis and arthritis.

An instrument cluster is a panel that is placed in front of the rider in an automobile.It houses the controls and instruments that operate the automobile. The instruments include a fuel gauge, engine temperature gauge, speedometer, tachometer, fuel economy gauge, odometer, infotainment systems, and engine malfunction indicator.The motorcycle instrument cluster market can be segmented by technology into analog, hybrid, and digital clusters. An analog cluster is an electro-mechanic cluster that contains a physical dial and a needle for conventional instruments such as the

speedometer and tachometer. A digital cluster displays these instruments on a TFTLCD,LCD, or vacuum fluorescent display screens. Such clusters allow the possibility of reconfiguration based on driving conditions and the driver's preferences. Hybrid clusters are a combination of digital and hybrid clusters.

Clinical chemistry analyzers are used for the analysis of samples such as blood,serum, and urine for the detection of analytes. These analyzers are used to detect and measure protein, enzyme, and electrolyte levels present in the sample. The measurement is based on the techniques such as photometric and colorimetric testing, potentiometry, and agglutination.The global clinical chemistry analyzers market is expected to grow at a steady rate during the forecast period. The factors like increasing older population, and rising incidence and prevalence of diabetes, renal diseases, and infections are driving the market. However, the market growth is affected by the growing use of integrated analyzers, which are used to detect various infectious diseases and analytes.

If we look at the present market scenario, many manufacturers operating in this space are looking to improve their potato peeling and slicing equipment portfolio. Most manufacturers are aiming at providing appliances wherein the potatoes are moved relative to the appliance, which helps in complete removal of the peel. Many manufacturers offer potato peelers that have an option to mount potatoes for rotation. This setup is then rotated and moved axially against a peeling head.

A speaker is an audio system that converts electromagnetic waves into sound waves. Portable speakers can be categorized based on technology into two types: wired and wireless portable speakers. The demand for wired speakers is fast declining because they use wired technology. A cable is used to connect the speaker to the source. The audio signal is transferred through the cable. The quality and speed of data transfer are relatively fast compared with wireless speakers.

A connector is a device that transmits electric signals either from the power source to the electronic equipment or connects the internal controls of a machine. It forms a medium of communication between different systems and components by connecting electric circuits with each other. Connectors are widely used in most of the following industries:

QSFP is an optical transceiver module used in optical fiber communication systems. The main function of this module is photoelectric conversion. In an optical fiber communication system, the information is sent in the form of light pulses, which is then converted into electrical signals in order to be utilized by an electronic device. The transmitter then converts the electrical signal into an optical signal, which is coupled to a connector. The receiver then converts the optical signal, which is transmitted through a fiber optic cable, into an electrical signal. There are different types of fiber optic transceivers available in the market including CFP, QSFP, QSFP+, SFP, and SFP+. The different types of fiber optic transceivers are described below:

Pressure regulators modulate or reduce the fluctuating supply (or inlet) pressure to obtain the desired outlet pressure. This process is the primary functionality of pressure regulators. A pressure regulator consists of three primary functional elements:  A pressure-reducing or restrictive element, which is often a spring-loaded poppet valve.  A sensing element that is typically a diaphragm or piston.  A reference force element, which is most commonly a spring. Many factors should be considered while choosing a pressure regulator. The primary factors include operating pressure ranges for the inlet and outlet, flow requirements, the type of fluid, and expected operating temperature range. Other factors include appropriate material selection for regulator components, including seals, as well as the size and weight constraints.
