While waste management services have gained significant importance in city planning, current operating standards have proven to be highly resource-intensive and inefficient. This is mainly due to use of outdated and manual waste collection techniques, as well as logistical processes that lack effective data-driven waste management and collection solutions. Governments, policymakers, and the waste management industry is focusing on developing and implementing smart, IoT-based techniques and solutions to address these pressing challenges.

The swimming gear market continues to be influenced by a range of macroeconomic and industry-specific factors. In addition to aesthetics, manufacturer focus has shifted to enhancing swimmer comfort, with effective solutions against external compression headache (ECH), colloquially known as "swim goggle headache", gaining considerable attention and investments. The growing focus on swimmer comfort is not only limited to goggles, with flexibility and lightweight among the reigning trends in the broader swimming gear market.

Research interests in nano-crystalline soft magnetic materials have surged on the coattails of their unique microstructure and attractive magnetic properties. Innovative nano-crystalline soft magnetic materials have been spearheading electrical and electronics engineering since the recent past. Fact.MR's recent study foresees the global nano-crystalline soft magnetic materials market to record a spectacular 9.8% volume CAGR between the forecast period 2018 and 2028.

The athletic tapes market continues to remain bullish, as growing awareness on injury management and prevention drives adoption, finds a new study by Fact.MR. Devoid of substantial empirical evidence concerning the use of athletic tapes with performance improvement, sales continue to be influenced by positive word-of-mouth and physician/chiropractor recommendations.

Efficacy of neonatal ventilators in reducing infant mortality continues to drive their adoption in healthcare settings, finds a new Fact.MR study. Global sales are likely to surpass 19,000 units in 2018, equating a market value of over US$ 440 Mn. End-users continue to show a marked affinity for hybrid neonatal ventilators that offer the advantages of both invasive and non-invasive variants.

Global sales of fetal and neonatal heart monitors are likely to surpass 261,000 units in 2018, with rising adoption in the US driving sales. Cardiotocographs remain the highest selling fetal and neonatal heart monitor devices, with global sales equating a valuation of nearly US$ 400 Mn in 2017. Demand continues to remain concentrated in hospitals and neonatal clinics, with the former accounting for a leading share.

According to a latest research analysis by Fact.MR, the global market for medical beds will expand at a moderate CAGR during 2017 to 2022. Sales of medical beds across the globe are estimated to exceed US$ 3,000 Mn in revenues by 2022-end.

Functionality of an automotive exhaust muffler is limited to reducing noise from the engine, however, in some cases, it can influence the vehicle's fuel efficiency. The component's limited scope of application has undermined the prospects of its global market. Also, sales of automotive exhaust mufflers is taking a hit due to rising cost of the component. The unavoidable backpressure remains one of the most severe drawbacks of exhaust mufflers and continues to be a major engineering challenge for manufacturers. While exhaust muffler sufficiently allow release of gases produced by a vehicle, it compromises on the engine's firing frequency. Factors as such are expected to deter the global demand for exhaust mufflers in the medium term. According to the latest report published by Fact.MR, the global automotive exhaust muffler is set to reflect a miniscule CAGR of 2.7% over the forecast period (2017-2022).

Against the background of rising sales of EVs and fuel cell cars recorded across the globe, the demand for injector nozzles is less likely to dwindle. Through technological intervention, OEMs will continue to boost their production capacity for injector nozzles as they will remain an integral part for vehicles running on IC engines. Fact.MR's report projects that in 2017, more than US$ 4.2 Bn worth of injector nozzles will be sold in the global market. Through an in-depth forecast, the report also predicts that global market for injector nozzles will expand vigorously 6.5% CAGR, reaching an estimated value of US$ 5.7 Bn by the end of 2022.

Global car air filter market is witnessing steady demand from all across the globe. This is due to the reason that car air filters are an integral part of the automobiles as they protect the internal combustion engine from dust particles and grime coming from the air that mixes with the fuel in the engine. If the air filter of a car is not clean, it may result in damage to the engine of the car. Besides this, the car will not function in an optimal manner and will exhibit reduced mileage and black sooty smoke or flames coming out from the exhaust if the air filter is worn out or not replaced at a proper time. The increasing sales of automobiles, especially cars, is the main driver of the global car air filter market. However, as the future of the automobile industry is centered on the electric cars, in which no fuel is burnt in the engine, the market for car air filter may get restricted during the assessment period. This is especially true of the European market, where electric cars are becoming popular due to the strict air pollution emission norms prevalent in the region.
