Internet penetration is among the strongest drivers for data center growth in the APAC region. Also, the increasing social media usage among consumers and digital transformation by enterprises across industry verticals are major factors promoting data center growth. Mobile broadband networks have become the primary mode of internet access in most Asia Pacific nations, with more than a third of the region's population using mobile networks and devices. Data centers are built, operated, and maintained to process a vast amount of both customer and business data. The number of people accessing the internet has grown significantly in the past decade from about 1.77 billion in 2009 to 4.39 billion in 2019. The growth of internet users was driven by more affordable smartphones and mobile data plans. The amount of data generated has also grown by over 50 times because of the increasing use of desktop systems, smartphone penetration, social media, wearable devices, and connected devices.

The blow-molded plastics market is among the many technologies used in the production of plastic products. The other technologies used include compression- molded, extrusion molding, injection molding, and thermoforming. Blow-molded plastic containers are generally sold by vendors through their direct sales team and by through distributors who in turn have their own warehouses and sales personnel. Plastic products sold through distributors are generally made by generic molds while custom molds are used for clients who require specific design and shapes. Some clients also catered through proprietary molds.

In various developed regions across the world, the economic growth acceleration, coupled with fixed investments is expected to favorably influence the demand for the garment care industry. This can be attributed to the fact that the garment care vendors are increasing their output by using technologically advanced and sophisticated appliances as well as reducing the operating costs of the same. Most of the households in the developed economies (the US and Europe) are likely to witness higher spending in the garment care sector owing to the increased disposable incomes. The higher sales of these appliances are expected to be driven by the ongoing mechanization of various application segments in different developing regions of the world. Factors such as an increasing number of single homes, coupled with the capability of making discretionary purchases for consumer- based appliances in developed regions of Europe and North America, are expected to favorably impact the global garment steamer market.

Globally, water usage has been increasing by about 1%, per year, since the 1980s, driven by a combination of population growth, socio-economic development, and changing consumption patterns. The global water demand is expected to continue increasing at a parallel rate until 2050, accounting for an increase of 20%- 30% above the current level of water use, mainly due to the rising demand in the industrial and domestic sectors. Over 2 billion people live in countries experiencing high water stress, and about 4 billion people experience severe water scarcity during at least one month of the year. Stress levels may continue to increase, as the demand for water grows and the effects of climate change intensify. According to the United Nations, at least one billion people around the world lack access to safe drinking water and 2.6 billion do not have adequate sanitation. Global warming and population growth may intensify these scarcities in the years to come, unless water conservation and management practices around the world advance.

Antioxidants are very important for immune defense and health of animals. In order to improve the oxidative stability, and thus, increase the shelf-life of meat, antioxidants are being added to animal feeds. Vitamin E is an essential component of livestock diets. Vitamin E cannot be synthesized by animals, which is why the use of tocopherol is increasing in animal diets. An adequate amount of tocopherol is essential in animal nutrition to protect them from malnutrition and the pathogen. It helps to improve the quality of meat and eggs. In addition, it controls the oxidative stability in the animal's body, and therefore, reduces the unpleasant smell and taste, especially in beef and pork. Moreover, vitamin E is fat-soluble and is incorporated into the lipid fraction of cell membranes as an effective antioxidant defense mechanism. There is also an increase in demand for tocopherols in livestock, more so in the developing regions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Automation is the major trend that is driving the software development in the freight and logistics space, and transportation management systems are rapidly adopting this approach. Automation, coupled with artificial intelligence, has made it easy to build a routing guide that ensures the freight moves with the best, and not just the cheapest, carrier for the job. TMS adoption rate is comparatively on the higher side with the large enterprises, owing to the sheer volume of product variety and services offered. However, the increasing adoption of cloud (SaaS) across various industries is reducing the high initial cost, in turn, providing an opportunity for adoption of TMS by small enterprises as well.

With the increasing internet services penetration, improving communication infrastructure, and data speed improvements, the growing number of internet and mobile users is influencing various business, across the world, to adopt internet to offer their services and products, driving the need for creation of different profiles by the end-users. Along with this, enterprises are increasingly adopting security measures to increase accountability by adopting user accounts. Such developments are, in turn, augmenting the demand for password management software. Owing to the increase in the number of profiles operated by a single entity, the management of password becomes vital, especially in enterprises, thus, creating a requirement for authenticating the right user. Password management is one of the frequent types of services which IT helpdesks have to deal on an everyday basis, consuming a significant share of their time. The sheer volume of requests for password resets received by the IT helpdesks makes it an extremely time-consuming task. For instance, META Group data suggests that a helpdesk receives an average of 21 calls per user per year asking for a password reset. Moreover, such requests can be easily avoided by the adoption of self-service password management and automating the process cutting IT service desk's time consumed in resolving such Level-1 issues and increasing their time and efforts on pressing on core issues.

The major factors attributing to the growth of the market are the increasing number of disabling hearing loss cases, rising geriatric population indirectly contributing to increased awareness of these devices, and increasing technological advancements by the companies. As per the revised World Population Prospects, by the United Nations, the number of people aged 60 or above is expected to grow greater than double by 2050, i.e. from 962 million in 2017 to 2.1 billion in 2050, worldwide. This age group is much more vulnerable to hearing loss, which boosts the demand for these devices in the market. According to “The Global Burden of Disease Study 2017” Disease and Injury Incidence and Prevalence Collaborators report, the estimated population with hearing loss rose from 1.2 billion (17.2%) in 2008 to 1.4 billion (18.7%) in 2017, for whom proper well-coordinated global action is needed.

Food safety has become a paramount issue for many governments around the world, especially in North America and Europe. Animals often stand in their own waste and are under constant duress, which affects their immune system, making them prone to infections. Rising awareness, increasing demand for animal nutrition, and the ban of antibiotics in many regions are prompting the livestock industry and meat manufacturers to use added nutrition in feed, which is anticipated to drive the global feed enzymes market. The poultry industry is readily using enzymes as standard dietary components, especially in wheat and barley-based feed. The poultry industry is consistently looking for exogenous enzymes, such as β-glucanase, xylanase, and phytase, to aid digestion, as they fail to produce enzymes that are required to break down the fiber completely. Some sectors produce their own enzymes, which, in turn, has created an opportunity for the enzyme manufacturers to explore the market, by launching enzymes that can overcome the prevailing problems in the poultry feed industry.

In the current market scenario, the rising need for synchronization with e-commerce, fierce competition, and real-time price changes require maximum reliability and responsiveness and represent strategic advantage from the retail store chains. This competitive strategy for gaining more market share has been driving the adoption of an electronic shelf label (ESL). ESLs are gaining prominence as a means of displaying and managing product pricing and information. One of the advantages of ESLs is the ability for staff and shop managers to use the technology to help manage and control stock levels. In the ESL system, commodity and product information are electronically displayed and updated. It is essentially a digital tag, deployed by the retailers in stores to present information of the product on the store shelf directly to the customers. It is integrated into the communication network with the functionality to edit prices and information on the tag instantaneously, by operating wirelessly. It also provides operational flexibility for the end users to change the prices in real-time without needing additional resources.
