Surge protection devices (SPDs) are designed to protect electrical appliances from voltage spikes. SPDs limit the voltage supplied to an electric device by either blocking or shorting any unwanted voltages above a safe threshold limit to the ground. They are used in automatic control buses, electric power supply networks, telephone networks, and various communication systems. The key factor that drives the SPDs market includes increase in demand for usage of electrical and electronics appliances in commercial & residential sectors. Moreover, high costs incurred due to electrical equipment downtime have also encouraged the adoption of SPDs as it provides safety in industries and in the domestic sector. The key factors that hamper the growth of this market are lack of awareness among small scale manufactures and competition from uninterrupted and non-fluctuating power supply systems. On the contrary, growth in awareness for need of SPDs, rapid industrialization, and power supply issues in developing countries are anticipated to provide lucrative opportunity for the market.

A wearable fitness tracker is a device, which uses sensors to track user movement, orientation, and rotation. This device gathers data and transforms it into calories, steps, sleep quality, and other activities that the user performs. Many trackers also have an 'altimeter' sensor, which measures altitude to track the number of flights of stairs climbed. These trackers can simply figure whether the user is running or not. In addition, the alarm in the tracker reminds about a variety of things such as drinking enough water, standing, walking, completing the number of steps, sleeping on the right time, and others. This device provides solutions to individuals who are involved in working toward a precise health & fitness goal.

Chatbots are computer programs that allow humans to interact and clear various queries relating to various topics, and thereby benefit from the technology. Humans send inputs via texts, messages, voices, and some other gestures to enable interaction with chatbots. Over the past decade, chatbots were employed only in providing customer service; in recent years, chatbots have evolved significantly and are penetrating numerous sectors. Many industries have realized the power of conversations and are thereby investing funds to increase the adoption of chatbots. The industries are exploring the major advantages that these chatbots can provide to their businesses; in this context, AI-driven chatbots are being widely popularized and different sectors are showing an interest in adopting them in their mainstream operations.

Home healthcare is providing professional medical care to patients who are suffering from chronic care, recovering from an injury or surgery, or patients who struggle to live independently because of their age or because of any physical or mental disability. Earlier, home healthcare provided skilled nursing services, physical or occupational therapies, speech-language therapies, and other rehabilitation services. In the US, homecare services for the elderly were added to Medicare, Medicaid, and Old Age Assistance Act facility in the 1960s, thus making the concept popular. But it was limited only to post-discharge patients recovering from an acute illness. It later grew as a separate branch of healthcare. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2016, the US had more than 12 thousand home care agencies in the market.

Water covers 71% of the earth’s surface and accounts for 75% of the human body content. Among 3% of the global freshwater sources, only 0.4% is accessible as tap water. Lakes, rivers, springs, aquifers, and groundwater are some of the major freshwater sources. However, groundwater is becoming scarcer in densely populated regions owing to excessive usage. Desalinated seawater is unlimited in supply but is considered expensive due to the amount of energy involved in making it fit for human consumption. The complexity in water accessibility and treatment techniques has been a major crisis in the past decade.

The opportunities for scaling are huge as the applications of adhesives are growing. From an end-user perspective, the major industries include:

Data centers are the backbone of online business operations and consumers. The growth in data centers is aided by the increased usage of the internet for personal and business purposes by consumers through smartphones and high-speed broadband connectivity. The Americas is the largest market in terms of data center operations, and it is continuing to grow because of the higher consumption of data by end-users. The internet penetration in countries such as the US and Canada is growing at an annual rate of 1%, whereas the same is growing at about 5% annually in Latin American countries. This rate is likely to increase further due to the rising adoption of smartphones and handheld connected devices, thereby increasing the data consumption rate. The growth of social media is another major factor for the growing internet penetration in the market, and this is likely to continue during the forecast period.

Immunotherapy, a non-traditional treatment, has become a prominent approach for treating many diseases, especially cancer, because it provides superior efficacy and safety. During this era of precision medicine and effective immunotherapies, the necessity for rapid and efficient antineoplastic development has never been greater. Biologics or biologic drugs are derived from living organisms and have proved to be a cure for several chronic conditions that were previously considered untreatable.
