The airport catering truck market continues to witness steady growth, as growing demand for aircraft ground support creates sustained opportunities for stakeholders. Airport authorities and airline companies continue to invest in infrastructure development, which in turn is augmenting demand for airport catering trucks around the globe, finds a new study.

The penetration of winter tires continues to gain ground in heavy commercial and light commercial vehicles – a trend that is complementing the steady demand from passenger cars segment. According to Fact.MR study, nearly 220 million units were sold in 2017, with passenger cars accounting for over 50% of sales.

Analytical Gel Permeation Chromatography is also known as Gel filtration chromatography. Analytical Gel Permeation Chromatography is a form of Liquid Chromatography. When Biomolecules are purified via chromatography techniques that separate them according to the difference in their specific properties such as size, charge, hydrophobicity, isoelectric point, and chemical specificity. Analytical gel permeation chromatography is the type of size exclusion chromatography. Analytical Gel Permeation Chromatography helps in protein fractionation, purification, molecular weight determination and also helps in determination of quaternary structure of purified protein. Analytical Gel Permeation Chromatography method is most preferable because it has least amount of matter/sample loss.

With the growth in the development of electric vehicles, the demand for EV traction motor is also rising. Moreover, traction motors can be used in both hybrids as well as electric vehicles. Also, with the introduction of stringent regulations on emission across the globe is also driving the demand for electric vehicles, thereby resulting in the growth of EV traction motor market. The government in various countries are also offering incentives and subsidies for electric vehicles such as tax exemptions, tax credits, etc., resulting in the increasing demand for electric vehicles. Hence, increasing demand for electric vehicles will automatically drive the EV traction motor market. Moreover, manufacturers are also focusing on developing advanced traction motors by investing in research and development activities.

DJI – the global drone leader, recently shipped 1000 Matrice drones equipped with machine vision, to Skycatch - the US-based startup, which are supposed to be conducting aerial surveys across the construction sites operated by Komatsu – one of the leading construction companies in Japan. DJI has also launched its latest offerings the Mavic 2 Zoom and the Mavic 2 Pro for enabling road travelers to take epic aerial shots of their car club with the highly sophisticated drone camera. Furthermore, an American tech giant - AeroVironment Inc. recently uncovered the US$ 6 Mn contract with Portuguese Army that involves the company's Raven drones providing effective rapid force protection and high-end interoperability capabilities to the army.

Fact.MR, in its new research report, projects the global market for automotive LED lights to exhibit an impressive expansion over the forecast period 2017-2022. Revenues from the global automotive LED light market are expected to exceed US$ 6,000 Mn by the end of 2022.

Converting source energy into motion, actuators in the automotive industry have been in a use for a long time. However, with technological advancements, automotive actuators are also being upgraded. Automotive manufacturers are also moving towards using electromechanical actuators due to the various benefits offered such as increased and consistent performance, low energy consumption and cost saving. Automotive actuator manufacturers are also developing actuators for next-gen by building a compact design that provides lightweight and low power consumption. There has also been an increase in the use of flap actuators in a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system in cars. Meanwhile, smart automotive actuators are also gaining popularity, these actuators use microcontrollers to perform various tasks based on customer requirements. These smart actuators also offer reliability, fuel efficiency, etc. Engine downsizing and emission regulations are also driving the demand for actuators by automotive manufacturers with advanced technologies and smart control system.

Resurgent growth in the construction sector since the past years coupled with increasing construction activities and infrastructure development continue to remain instrumental in driving sales of construction equipment, in turn influencing sales of undercarriage components worldwide. Growing technological advancements in earth moving equipment to meet the increasing demand for new construction projects has significantly fueled the demand for durable and efficient undercarriage components since the past years. Fact.MR envisages that the demand for undercarriage components is projected to expand at a steady rate at a CAGR of 3.2% throughout the period of assessment, 2018-2028. Sales of undercarriage components by the end of the year of forecast is estimated to cross US$ 10,800 Mn, says the report.

While stringent emission standards continue to be the stranglehold of the automotive ignition industry, a research by Fact.MR reveals that the automotive ignition system market is expected to evolve around consistent product innovations targeted at introducing the most environment-friendly technology. The automotive ignition system sales have increased by almost 25% from 2012 to 2017 and expected to cross US$ 7 billion by 2022.

Blocking pollen, dust and particulate matter from vehicle exhaust from entering the car, automotive cabin air filter is being increasingly used in vehicles. Cabin air filter manufacturers are focusing on research and development of air filters using new material and advanced technology providing better filtration. Manufacturers are also developing charcoal lined cabin air filter. The air filter includes activated carbon that prevents odors and helps to reduce oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxide from entering the car. Cabin air filters with small fibers facilitating better protection by trapping a large amount of ultrafine particles are also on a rise. Increasing number of replacement of automotive cabin air filter is driving the demand for new filters. Although replacement varies by manufacturers, general guidelines suggest replacing the air filter in every 12,000 to 15,000 miles. Development of customizable and polyurethane-based adhesive filters are also witnessing growth among manufacturers.
