Automotive fabric in the vehicle’s interior increases the interior feels as well as vehicle safety. It has properties such as cold cracking resistance, high durability, UV rays stable, easy to clean, and helps in minimizing fatigue. Automotive fabrics, such as headlining, truck lining, and spray adhesive, are used to repair or replace the spoiled interior surfaces. Automotive fabric includes interior components of vehicles such as headliners, cockpit modules, door panels, automotive seats, flooring, vehicle acoustics, and others. Furthermore, the market is segmented into fabric type, application, vehicle type, and region.

Automotive ceramics are advanced inorganic ceramic materials, that are currently being employed for producing key automotive components, to cater to specific applications. Their combination of physical and thermal properties make them an ideal choice for thermal management, wear & tear, and automotive electronic components. Ceramic materials can be engineered or processed through various techniques into components and coatings. Coatings of ceramic materials on metal is done for increased thermal barrier protection of metal parts, mainly in the engine block. Technical ceramics majorly include zirconia, alumina, and silicon carbide, it is commercially available in various grades.

Automotive differential is a part of front and/or rear axle assembly that plays an integral role in a vehicle and is designed to allow moving of wheels at different speeds. It is a part of automotive driveline, which transmits the desired torque and power to the wheels to perform driving operations. The primary function of this system is to provide proportional RPMs between two connected wheels. For instance, when a vehicle goes around the corner, the outside wheel must travel faster than the inside wheel. The differential distributes equal amount of torque to both the wheels. In addition, this system provides wheels with resistance and traction. Moreover, sale of differential assemblies is directly driven by automotive production activities across the globe. These procurements are completed through contracts and agreements between original equipment manufacturers and differential assemblies’ manufacturers.

OEMs are exploring both mono cameras and stereo cameras today. Mono-cameras are currently the primary computer vision option for specialized driver assistance systems due to their low price point and lower processing requirements (ADAS). Mono-cameras, all with reasonable precision, can do many things fairly well, such as distinguishing lanes, pedestrians, traffic signals, and other vehicles in the car's direction. The monocular system is less reliable in calculating the 3D view of the world. Stereo cameras can receive the world in 3D and provide an element of depth perception due to dual lenses.

The key objective of geospatial analytics is to combine GIS technology with various scientific technology to process, transform, and validate useful information for business process. In addition, manufacturing and automotive industries are adopting geospatial analytics to provide better communication between organization and people. Numerous benefits are associated with geospatial analytics such as it allows customers to capture & process different services, modifies existing orders, and processes customer moves.

Power cutters are prominent tools that have unlimited applications across most industrial, commercial, and even household usage. Power cutters have been a convenient resource, aiding workers across industries. The use of power cutters can eliminate the need for strenuous manual labor. Their use in the construction and automotive sectors gives new opportunities for innovation in the power cutters market. The global power cutter market is highly competitive with low market concentration. However, the average price of the product has been declining owing to the maturing technology and declining prices of raw materials. Vendors are, thus, introducing innovative features to differentiate their products in the market. The introduction of innovative products, such as infrared heat guns, can also become a possible threat to the market. However, infrared heat guns are not ideal for all commercial, industrial, and residential use. Furthermore, these products are also more expensive than the average price of heat guns.

Ultra-thin glass is a very thin glass with thickness range below 1mm. It offers different features making it one of the preferred materials of choice over plastics, metals, and silicon. This study provides information on the usage of ultra-thin glass in various end-use industries. The study is segmented on the basis of thickness (<0.1mm, 0.1mm-0.5mm, and 0.5mm-1.0mm), end-use industry (consumer electronics, automotive & transportation, etc.), and region (North America. Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA). The study mostly deals with the usage of ultra-thin glass mainly in consumer electronics, automotive & transportation, medical & healthcare, and others. The study also includes in-depth information of the major players in the market.

A surge in the number of autonomous vehicles can be witnessed in recent years. The need to increase drivers’ safety and ease their driving experience has resulted in an increased number of autonomous vehicles. These vehicles are integrated with multiple sensors and data processors, such as cameras, to perform driver-assisted features. Therefore, an increase in the number of autonomous vehicles ultimately drives the adoption of high precision asphere lens in the cameras used in those vehicles. The usage of fully autonomous vehicles allows the drivers to utilize their journey time in performing additional activities like working, accessing entertainment, and thereby increasing the drivers’ comfort. Also, using fully autonomous cars may solve the industry’s manpower shortage. For instance, according to American Trucking Associations, the U.S. fell short of 48,000 truck drivers in 2016, and this number can grow up to 170,000 in the next ten years. With the help of driverless trucks, this shortage of labor can be slowed. The addition of self-driven vehicle fleet may lead to innovative modes of traveling/transporting. Users may use cars based on pay-per-use models, including car-pooling, cab sharing, and peer-to-peer car rentals. These factors are expected to reduce vehicle owners’ efforts and will, therefore, contribute to the growth in the demand for autonomous vehicles. Thus, given the advantages of autonomous vehicles, an upward-facing trend is anticipated in the coming years that would certainly increase the demand and consumption of the aspherical lens as they provide improved accuracy of the focal point, greater focal length range, and sharper and clearer image formation.
