According to a WHO report, Helth Employment and Economic Growth: An Evidence Base(2017) women represented 70% of the 43 million global healthcare workforce. Additionally, women also represent a significant share of the informal care givers (taking care of patients at home). However, depite the large number of healthcare professionals being women, females are underrepresnted as decision makers. For instance, according to the World Economic Forum report on gender gap, only 35% of the women hold the leadership roles in the global healthcare industry (2017). Moreover, only 25% of the private organizations and 20% of the government leadership boards follow gender parity (2017). The absence of female decision makers in the venture capital (VC) firms is also evident. For instance, according to a report by International Finance Corporation (IFC), in 2017, only 10% women were decision makers or had a role in decision making in the venture capital firms globally . The lower representation of women in VC firms has led to the low capital flow in the women-led enterprises. For instance, according to the IFC report, the women-led enterprises garnered less than 3% of the total global venture capital in 2018.

The global population is expected to expand by an additional 2 billion people over the next 25 years, and agricultural efficiencies are necessary to feed this growth in population. According to a report by published by the Forsythia Foundation, a US-based venture capital fund, in March 2019, Safer Made is focusing on accelerating the adoption of new materials that reduce or eradicate the use of hazardous chemicals in food packaging. Authors Marty Mulvhill and Adrian Horotan explained that, along with food, people also eat the packaging and materials that touch the food. As a result, it is essential to treat the materials used for packaging, primarily like the ingredients in food. Furthermore, there is an increasing demand for the healthiest opportunities available. Accordingly, less toxic packaging of food coincides with low pollution. People, brands, retailers, advocates, and governments are focusing on attaining safe packaging and zero plastic pollution. At the same time, single-use packaging is convenient and is expected to witness increasing demand in the near future. Additionally, the global population is projected to expand, and in key emerging markets, like China and India, the rate of urbanization is projected to increase. Thus, consumers are willing spend their income on consumer goods. This is expected to drive the exposure toward modern retail channels, while strengthening the middle-class population to engage with global brands and shopping habits.

The shifting focus on the deployment of renewable power infrastructure has resulted in the widespread installation of solar power plants globally. Although solar power generation is a sustainable model of power production, solar panels after the end of their lifecycle need to be recycled. On average, the life span of a solar panel is about 20-30 years. Solar panels contain toxic substances that can be harmful to the environment, if disposed of in landfills, thus, defeating the purpose of making solar energy sustainable. Therefore, the recycling of used solar panels is necessary. The cumulative solar power generation stood at 584.6 TWh, at the end of 2018. Major countries witnessed widespread adoption of solar panels, as a result of the declining cost and increased focus on the usage of clean energy. With the increasing installation of solar panels and growing environmental concerns, the market studied is expected to augment during the forecast period.

In an increasingly digital world and fragmented telecommunications industry, MVNOs are on the rise, applying emerging technologies, exploring new ver ticals, and providing value to both consumers and existing mobile network operators (MNOs). Together with mobile virtual network enablers (MVNEs), which offer network infrastructure and related services to MVNOs, MVNOs allow carriers to expand into new geographic areas and provide unique features and products, increasing connectivity, and responding to niche consumer demands. Currently, MVNOs are well-established in the developed markets, and may become increasingly important in the developing markets as they mature. In recent years, competition in the MVNO market has shifted from pricing to value-added services and product differentiation, owing to the prominence of MNOs in the low-cost cellular services market, in both developed and developing countries. The United States boasts one of the largest MVNO markets in the world and has hosted hundreds of disparate virtual operators and sub-brands, over the last two decades. MVNOs flourished in the United States, due to the Lifeline subsidiary program run by FCC in the country. The major states in the United States have teamed up a few MVNOS, to provide mobile and broadband services at a very subsidized rate.
