Sri Lanka is a low value IT market, but during the review period it was a regional and global outperformer with sustained strong growth in spending throughout 2012-2017. Hardware demand expanded, in contrast to much of the rest of emerging APAC, because of the peace dividend, though this dynamic had weakened by 2017. Software and services spending growth was robust, driven by public and private sector digitisation, with an intensifying focus on mobile-first service development as the review period progressed.

Singapore has distinguished itself as one of the leading oil refining and petrochemicals players in Asia. Despite lacking indigenous hydrocarbons resources, it boasts thriving upstream as well as downstream sectors. Petrochemicals and refining remain the lifeblood of Singapore, with strong regional demand growth meaning there is potential for capacity expansion - although investment in countries such as China and Vietnam has led to increasingly fierce competition. With dedicated government backing, the chemicals industry as a whole has proved to be one of the largest contributors to the country's manufacturing output. A strong base in refining, availability of world-class infrastructure, cost-effective logistics and a location at the crossroads of Asia, with ready market access to the Asia-Pacific region, the US, the Middle East and Africa, set the pace for the development of a world-class petrochemicals industry. Major players include US-based ExxonMobil, Netherlandsheadquartered Royal Dutch Shell, Japanese Mitsui, Sumitomo Chemical Singapore (a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan's Sumitomo Chemical Company) and Eastman Chemical Singapore.

The Hungarian defence market is small in comparison to other European states. After the effects of war and occupation, independent Hungary had little in the way of advanced weapons manufacturers. The industry is dominated by privately owned SMEs, which have weak demand domestically and often diversify into the civilian segment out of necessity. Such firms produce ammunition, defence electronics and some light vehicles, which necessitates the importation of more advanced hardware. The recently announced Zrinyi 2026 plan - alongside earlier commitments to increase defence spending by 0.1% of GDP per annum - will create opportunities for domestic firms where possible if fully implemented. However, a number of big-ticket purchases have already been made with international firms, underlining the Hungarian defence industry's inability to produce more high-value hardware. Moreover, we maintain a level of scepticism in relation to spending increases.

Breast milk was the primary source of nutrition for infants and young children before the introduction of breast milk substitutes. Proper breastfeeding can boost the immunity of infants and young children while promoting their growth and development. Breastfeeding is highly crucial until the age of two years in infants. However, with the increasing popularity of breast milk substitutes, breastfeeding rates have declined in most of the developed countries. As per a report published on the UN child protection unit by UNICEF, more than 800,000 infant deaths can be prevented globally by breastfeeding. The report also says that the world’s richest countries had the lowest breastfeeding rates. Among the high-income countries, more than one in five babies have never been breastfed, whereas in the low- and middleincome countries, 1 in 25 babies have never been breastfed. The lower breastfeeding rates have led to the high demand for infant milk solutions, especially in the developed nations.
