Geiger counter, also known as Geiger-Müller counter, is a type of radiation detection and measurement device, which was invented by Hans Geiger and Walther Müller in 1928. It is a type of gas-filled detector that detects alpha, beta, and gamma ionizing radiations. It consists of a Geiger-Müller tube filled with an inert gas like helium,neon, or argon at low pressure, a counting device, and a visual and audio readout.The term 'Geiger counter' applies to those instruments using Geiger-Müller type of detectors.The global market for Geiger counters is expected to be driven by the increasing demand from key end-users such as defense and law enforcement and industrial endusers.The provision of user-friendly Geiger counters is another factor that has driven the market growth. This has enabled various end-users, including first responders and security officers, to use these devices. The increasing construction of nuclear power

plants in developing countries in APAC is expected to drive the market during the forecast period. Increasing incidences of cancer has an impact on Geiger counters as the treatment of various diseases include the use of radioactive substances.

Gas chromatography (GC) is a type of chromatography for separating and analyzing compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition in analytical chemistry. Gas chromatography uses include separating the different components of a mixture or testing the purity of a substance. Sometimes gas chromatography may help in identifying a compound. In preparative chromatography, gas chromatography can be

used to prepare pure compounds from a mixture.In this industry research report, Technavio covers the present scenario and growth

prospects of the global gas chromatograph market for 2017-2021.

There has been a significant increase in demand for bakery products worldwide. The expansion of offerings from simple baked goods to a multitude of products across various categories (including healthy and organic offerings) is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global bakery market. This is expected to subsequently lead to an increase in demand for commercial baking equipment during the forecast period. Growing concern about obesity and related health issues is expected to increase the demand for healthy bakery products; end-users are incorporating healthy ingredients, like whole grains, in their products. Many of the end-users have also reduced portion sizes of their products, targeting the calorie conscious customers. They are also providing different designs and flavors to the customers.

Biliary stents have been in use since the 1970s to allow for biliary decompression. Biliary stents are mostly used for biliary infection cholangitis. The major obstruction in the biliary tree includes malignant and benign strictures, stenotic sphincters, obstructed endoprostheses, and bile duct stones. Colorectal cancer, which is one of the most diagnosed conditions and other conditions such as gallstones in the biliary duct, esophageal perforation, and bile duct injury requires stenting as a remedial or supplementary procedure.

Packaging machinery is used to pack products before dispatch to the distribution networks. Many industries, such as food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and others, utilize packaging products and services. Packaging also plays an important role in the marketing mix as it has an impact on the buying decisions of consumers. Packaging machinery are widely used for filling, coding, labeling, and wrapping.

Wearable technologies are advanced electronic devices that are worn as clothing or carried as accessories on the user's body to provide data about the consumer behavior, which is accessible through an associated application.

The health benefits of baby care products, along with their convenience and availability in organic forms have fueled demand for these products in the global market. Baby toiletries registered the highest revenue share in the global baby care products market in 2015. While the baby care market is relatively well penetrated in developed countries, high growth is expected from developing countries in Asian countries such as China and India over the forecast period. The growing population, increased per capita income, and awareness of baby hygiene and care have contributed to the demand for baby care products in these countries.

Advances in automotive technology have taken vehicle comfort and convenience to another level. Automotive seat systems now perform numerous functions such as giving the driver a massage, accurate and comfortable driving posture, and air or warmth during travel using different sensors and devices. Nowadays, automotive seats are a combination of electronically adjustable systems, intelligent seat configuration, and health and wellness systems. Hence, these seats provide closed-loop comfort systems to the driver while traveling long distances. With the development of these seats, seat manufacturers are now able to address safety as well as health concerns. The smart seats are available as standard fitment in most luxury cars in the form of multiple axes seat adjustment and predefined seat memory functionality.

The global automotive market is evolving rapidly with the expansion of product portfolios, entry of new players, advanced system offerings, and advances in technology. The mindset and buying criteria of the consumers are changing rapidly, thereby changing the dynamics of the global automotive industry. The consumers are becoming more aware and informative, and are seeking various aspects, such as comfort, technology, and safety in an automobile.

Temperature sensors are widely used in powertrain applications and climate control functions in the automotive industry. The use of sensors in the powertrain allowed the rapid electrification of mechanical components such as the development of automatic transmission in passenger cars. As a result, the automotive industry is progressively witnessing the adoption of temperature sensors. In addition, the growth in the automobile market will be the main driver for the growth of the global temperature sensors market. The drive for the autonomous vehicle has increased the use of automotive sensors in the vehicle. This will be a crucial driver for the adoption of the temperature sensors in the automotive segment.
