The global advanced energy storage system market is expected to attain market revenue of $10.8 billion by 2018 at a CAGR of 10% between 2013 and 2018.

A wind tower is a tall structure, at the upper end of which the nacelle and the wind turbine are mounted. Wind tower is manufactured in multiple designs such as uni-directional, bi-directional, and multi-directional. Moreover, the length of the wind tower relies on the energy generation capacity of the turbine and the size of its blades. A wind tower with large blades causes them to come in contact with structures on the ground. Thus, to keep the long blades of the wind turbine clear of the ground and other objects, it is imperative to choose a wind tower with an optimal height. Wind towers are often used in hot dry climates for cooling purposes.

Nuclear imaging system basically involves the use of radioactive substances or tracers for the treatment of diseases. The radioactive substances are injected orally or intravenously and the imaging systems records the radiations emitted by these substances to create images of organs inside the human body. These generated images help the physician in better detection and diagnosis of the illness. The emergence of healthcare cum technology devices have addressed the increasing needs for better diagnostics. The technologically advanced imaging systems has surmounted the conventional systems in terms of precise and accurate images.

Waste-to-energy (WtE) or energy-from-waste (EfW) is a process of energy recovery and the technique of generating energy in the form of heat or electricity from the primary treatment of waste. Most of the WtE processes produce heat or electricity directly through thermal combustion, or generate a combustible fuel commodity, which includes methanol, methane, synthetic fuels, or ethanol.

Solar cell films are also known as thin-film solar cells. A thin-film solar cell is a second-generation solar cell consisting of one or more thin layers, or thin film (TF) of photovoltaic material on glass, plastic, or metal. Moreover, these cells are commercially deployed in several technologies such as cadmium telluride (CdTe), copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS), and amorphous thin-film silicon (a-Si, TF-Si). However, film thickness varies from a few nanometers (nm) to tens of micrometers (m). This allows thin film cells to be flexible as well as lighter in weight. In addition, solar cell films are increasingly deployed in building integrated photovoltaics. It is even deployed as semi-transparent, photovoltaic glazing material, which is further laminated onto windows. In addition, other commercial applications such as photovoltaic power stations increasingly employ rigid thin film solar panels (sandwiched between two panes of glass) to supply power into the electricity grid.

Glycolic acid belongs to a group of active compounds known as AHAs (alpha hydroxyl acids), which are primarily found in vegetables and fruits such as sugarcane, pineapple, unripe grapes, etc. Glycolic acid possesses the smallest molecules in the group; this enables quick and easy penetration of human skin. It is therefore very effective in skin treatment and is widely used in cosmetic formulations. Due to the increased adoption of personal care products, the glycolic acid market is witnessing significant growth. Glycolic acid is also used for the manufacturing of poly glycolic acid (PGA) and in absorbable sutures for surgical/medical applications.

Paclitaxel belongs to the group of medications known as antineoplastics and is used in the treatment of cancers. It works by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and is used in the treatment of various cancers such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, non small cell lung cancer, etc. According to the WHO, cancer was the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for the death of 8.2 million people in 2012. The major drivers for this market are the rising incidence of cancer globally and the improved efficacy of paclitaxel injections. However, adverse drug reactions associated with the drug as well as the emergence of targeted treatment, personalized medicine and novel anti-cancer drugs would be a challenge to the growth of this market. The opportunities for this market are its potential to be used for treatment for various types of cancers.

3D Concrete printing is a new technology that uses 3D printers for construction of buildings. This technology enables construction in much less time compared to other conventional practices. It reduces the amount of waste generated during construction, labor costs and production time. The 3D concrete printing market is majorly driven by the need for new, sustainable, eco-friendly, and smart housing solutions. The speed and affordability of building also adds up to the market driver. The only factor that can restrain the growth of this market is the doubts or lack of knowledge in some people or organizations related to printing techniques. The increasing research and development in this field can create a lot of opportunities for new market players.

Water-soluble fertilizer is a multi-compound fertilizer that can be dissolved in water, more easily absorbed by crops, its absorption and utilization is relatively high as compared to conventional chemical fertilizers. The fixed amount of nutrient available to the plants can be easily provided by the help of this fertilizer. The technology of this fertilizer is best suited for modern irrigation system. In addition to that, it also prevents ground water contamination. These above technological advancements differentiate water soluble fertilizers from the conventional chemical fertilizers. The usage of water-soluble fertilizer application is simple. As it is well suited in advanced irrigation technology, it not only saves water and fertilizer, but also saves labor cost. Furthermore, water-soluble fertilizer has fewer impurities, has low conductivity compared to chemical fertilizers and fertilizer concentration is easier to adjust. It is also a safe chemical option for young seedlings .
