With the growing number of institutes and universities venturing into the research and development of heating fabrics and smart textiles, the technology development and the fabrics development in the recent years have given rise to several new products to the segment. Carbon fiber-based and polymer-based fabrics have shown an exponential increase in production for multiple applications such as military, sports, and healthcare. For instance, wearable heating system with a controllable e-textile-based thermal panel by Istanbul Technical University has given rise to products such as Loomia’s electronic jacket. There have been several such cases whereby the information provided by the research studies of the universities is based on the product development of a company. Moreover, several companies also collaborate with institutions and universities to do the research on their behalf, thereby reducing the R&D costs.

Currently, the world is witnessing growing demand for low temperature co-fired ceramics, which is mainly due to the rising demand from the automotive sensors operating at harsh conditions. Also, there have been technological advancements in the electronics and computational industry. The miniaturization of electronics, followed by the demand for high computational speed, has produced harsh operating conditions for the electronic components. These conditions have consequently given rise to concerns such as heating, leading to the compromise in the performance of the gadgets. Therefore, researchers/industry professionals have had to reconsider the technological upgradations in tandem with good performance and paved way for the development of multilayer circuits or LTCC tapes. The primary factors leading to the demand for this technological innovation is increasing use of electronics in the automotive sensors, military and defense, aviation, and micro electro-mechanical sensors (MEMS), among others.

The disruption of lactose-free dairy products has brought about a high product diversity in this category of dairy products. One of the most upcoming products is the lactose-free ice-cream product category. This product is still at a very nascent stage. Most of the lactose intolerant population is still adapting to the basic dairy products, such as lactose-free milk, lactose-free yogurt, among others. The addition of lactose-free ice creams to the overall lactose-free dairy product portfolio has come as a breakthrough for those with acute lactose intolerance, removing their dependence on traditional dairy products. Although, very limited players in the market offer lactose-free ice-creams, many established players are gradually exploring opportunities in this category. Key players that offer lactose-free ice-creams are Breyers (U.S.), Arctic Zero (U.S.), Beckon Ice Cream (U.S.), Arla Foods (Denmark), Lactaid (U.S.), Natrel (Canada), and Peter's Ice Cream (Australia), among others.

The global genetic counseling market has witnessed significant growth, attributing to the increasing demand for genetic counseling in both risk assessment and pharmacogenomics settings. In both settings, the findings identified through genetic counseling have been instrumental in improving the disease risk assessment, quality of life, and reducing the cost and time of the treatment. Further, the increasing awareness and adoption of the precision therapeutics and diagnostic approach in the developed and the developing countries is the key driver for the growth of the global genetic counseling market.

Lawn mowers have supported people in their landscaping duties over the last few generations. The lawn mower is a category of garden equipment that includes watermanagement equipment, trimmers & hedges, and hand tools. The global demand for various garden equipment, machinery, products, and tools, including accessories, was estimated at about $270 billion in 2019 and is expected to hit a value of $575 billion by 2026. Created in 1830 by Edwin Budding of England, the lawn mower was patented for the first time in the US in 1868. After World War II, lawn mowers gained prominence as families migrated to the suburbs and found themselves caring for larger yards. Cecil Pond developed the first ride-on lawn mower in 1956, and today, the latest trend is robotic lawn mowers. The lawn mower has developed over the years from a large, hard-to-maneuver tool into a complex family of equipment with various characteristics and different degrees of speed and cutting accuracy. The technology has changed the design of homes, parks, and fields worldwide. Manicured lawns were no longer confined to the aristocrats' estates-with the easy and inexpensive cutting devices; most middle-class homeowners were able to keep safe and desirable lawns to enhance their properties. In the 1870s, lawn mowers had become so easy to use and priced fairly, that they became more popular in American landscapes.
