ncreasing construction activity in the infrastructure sector is the primary driver for the growth of the Indian construction sector. According to the IBEF, India needs infrastructural investments worth INR 50 trillion by 2022, to have sustainable development in the countr y. In India, the infrastructure sector is a key driver for the country’s economy and is highly responsible for propelling the country’s overall development. The Indian government has played an important role in developing world-class infrastructure in the country. Investments from the private sector are expected to show moderate- to-high growth, owing to the factors, such as increased stability in infrastructure projects, corporate deleveraging, and implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). In 2018, the infrastructure sector in India witnessed private equity and venture capital investments worth USD 1.97 billion. The private equity and venture capital investments are expected to surpass USD 65 billion in 2025. In June 2018, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) announced its decision to invest USD 200 million in India’s National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF).

The growth of the global veterinary diagnostic imaging market is currently being driven by various factors, including the rising adoption of companion and livestock animals, increasing animal health expenditure, rising prevalence of animal diseases, and technological advancements in the diagnostic imaging field, among others. There has also been an increasing adoption of pet animals every year. Animal shelters and rescue groups are overflowing with healthy, happy pets just waiting for someone to adopt them and take them home. The primary reason behind this rise in pet adoption is the fact that not only do animals give humans unconditional love, but they have also been proven to be emotionally, psychologically, and physically beneficial to their companions. Caring for a pet animal provides a sense of purpose and fulfillment in one’s day-to-day life and it also reduces the feeling of loneliness, in this era of busy schedules and nuclear families. But adopting an animal comes with the huge responsibility of taking care of it in every possible way, as animals are also being diagnosed with several diseases. That is why the demand for diagnosis of various diseases, injuries, and disorders of these animals is on a significant rise. For example, the recent years have observed a significant rise in the prevalence of cancer in dogs and cats, which directly generates a rise in the need for proper pet cancer diagnosis.

PLC is the primary computing system, which controls automated machines. The system also helps in detecting any errors or flaws and alerts the technician. PLC systems are also preferred over traditional systems, like relays and switch boxes, due to their compact sizes. Another advantage of PLCs is their multi-functionality (owing to their programmable nature that can be used for multiple operations depending on the application). Machine downtime is one of the major factors that has an impact on the manufacturing efficiency of an industry. It is estimated that downtime is responsible for 5-20% of the manufacturing losses incurred during operation. The deployment of PLC systems enables the identification and rectification of errors, and can initiate rapid responses even without human intervention. Hence, these automated PLC systems are estimated to assist in reducing the machine downtime from 20% to almost 4%. The market studied is strongly impacted by the industrial output and the investment funneled into the computers and software. These PLC systems have traditionally been the foundation of both process and discrete factory automation. The growing adoption of Industry 4.0 across the industrial verticals has augmented the market studied.

The market studied is currently being driven by factors, such as the increasing prevalence of sepsis, the growing incidence of hospital-acquired infections, rise in the number of sepsis procedures, and increase in the funding for sepsis-related research activities. Furthermore, similar hospital-acquired infections have been observed across the world and these are boosting the need for proper diagnosis. Hence, the rise in hospital-acquired infections is expected to drive the overall growth of the sepsis diagnosis market, over the forecast period. On the basis of pathogens that cause septicemia, the bacterial sepsis segment holds the largest market share, due to the fact that most of the patients suffering from blood-poisoning diseases are victims of bacterial infection. The most commonly formed bacterial sepsis is gram-negative bacteria.

Mining is the process of extracting coal, metals, minerals, and others from the earth. For these extractions, mining equipment are used for which drill bits are required. Mining drill bits are cutting tools that are used to dig hole of circular area. These drill bits are deployed to remove rock or debris material to create different size of holes. By type, the market is segmented into rotary bits, DTH hammers bits, and others. The others segment is further divided into anchor bits, cross bits, and chisel bits. Whereas, the rotary bits segment is bifurcated into fixed cutter bits and roller cone bits. Based on material, the market is categorized into steel, diamond, and tungsten carbide. The diamond bits segment is further classified into thermally stable diamond bits, PDC, and surface set diamond bits. Bit size analyzed in the report includes up to 150 mm to above 300 mm. By operation segment, the market is bifurcated into underground drilling and surface drilling.

A variable frequency drive (VFD) is a motor controller that drives an electric motor by varying the frequency and voltage of its power supply. The VFD also has the ability to control ramp-up and ramp- down of the motor during start or stop, respectively. Even though the drive controls the voltage and frequency of power supplied to the motor, it is often referred to as speed control, since the result is an adjustment of the motor speed. Additionally, the advanced and modern drives integrate the networking and diagnostic capabilities into better performance and increased productivity. Intelligent motor control, energy savings, and reduction of peak-current drawn are some of the major reasons to choose a VFD as the controller in every motor- driven system. Increased investments from several global VFD vendors (especially in R&D) have allowed them to further the technology and prompt the growth of the variable frequency drives market. The investment in the Asia-Pacific region has been higher, owing to the opportunities arising from relatively higher infrastructure and economic development in the region.

The reverse osmosis membrane is a semipermeable separating laminate used in purification of water from contaminants and excess of dissolve salts. Reverse osmosis removes many types of dissolved and suspended species from water, including bacteria, and is used in both industrial processes and the production of potable water. The result is that the solute is retained on the pressurized side of the membrane, and the pure solvent is allowed to pass to the other side. The reverse osmosis system does not require heat for the process to be performed, hence aids in conservation of energy. The report covers various types of materials, filter modules, and applications of the reverse osmosis membrane market. In addition, the report has been analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA region.

Multilayer ceramic capacitors were first developed in the 1970s and 1980s, but their widespread adoption was possible in the last decade with the development of new dielectric materials and fabrication methods. The MLCC (Multilayer ceramic capacitors) possess unique characteristics like flexibility in size or shape, low cost, ability to withstand high voltages and are considered to most reliable. However, the most crucial characteristic that resulted in their widespread adoption was their ability to pack multiple components into a single package. Each MLCC has hundreds of layers and each layer acts as a separate component. This eliminated the use of additional components in the circuitry. MLCC were at the center of all the technological innovations that happened in the last decade, and they can be considered to be one of the en ablers of new innovations in consumer el ectronics, telecommunications, and energy storage.
