It is a method of debt financing where different individuals can lend and borrow money using an online platform, which eliminates any involvement of middlemen. The loans provided by the lender helps the lender to generate income in the form of interest. On the other hand, the borrowers have easy access to financing, which might be difficult for them to procure if they approach a standard financial intermediary. The amount of interest charged for P2P loans is comparatively lower than the traditional prime loans to compensate the lenders for bearing the risk of non-payment from the borrowers. Investors fund only a portion of the loan and spread the amount of the loan across many buyers.

Hybrid cloud covers both private/onsite and public/offsite cloud resources. In this cloud, virtual machines, workloads, and applications operate seamlessly across different IT environments private clouds located in data centers of enterprises or service provider centers as well as external public clouds. Hybrid clouds integrate storage, compute, security, applications, networking, and management all into a common platform.

Cloud storage gateways are hybrid appliances that combine local storage, data protection functionality, and cloud storage to form a collaborative, cost-effective package. A storage gateway ensures compatibility between different protocols used by cloud service providers and enterprises. In addition, it provides seamless connectivity between a local system and a cloud storage. Storage gateways are necessary to ensure that the data stored in the cloud storage infrastructure are optimized according to established standards. They also facilitate efficient management of traffic and storage space across a network.

Cosmetic packaging refers to the casing or primary packaging of cosmetics in pumps, dispensers, bottles, cans, cases, pouches, tubes, bags, and jars. The packs can be made of plastic, glass, or metal. Vendors have begun to adopt recyclable and eco-friendly packaging products due to growing environmental concerns. The demand for innovative designs and colors in packaging products and focus on packaging for brand differentiation are the primary drivers of the market. Plastic is emerging as the material of choice for cosmetic packaging because of its versatile nature. However, the rising price of plastic resins acts as a barrier to growth.

Mushrooms are porous, fleshy, and spongy and are most often considered as vegetables. They have both individual consumers and foodservice providers as primary consumers. Because of their medicinal and nutritional values, consumers in Singapore are willing to pay more for healthy, fresh, and hygienically-packed fresh mushrooms. However, Singapore is a net importer of fresh mushrooms with more than 95% of its fresh mushrooms being imported from other APAC countries.

Centrifugal blowers deliver directional air flow by maximizing static pressure, making them optimum for spot cooling and air flow via a duct. Alternatively, their high suction can be utilized to hold an object in position. Also, their directed air flow can be used to move objects. Centrifugal blowers can achieve much higher pressures than centrifugal fans; the pressures can be as high as 1.2 kg/cm2 and are also used to produce negative pressures for vacuum systems in various industrial applications. Centrifugal blowers resemble centrifugal pumps. The impeller is typically gear-driven and can rotate as fast as 15,000 revolutions per minute (rpm).

Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a therapeutic technique used for the treatment of acute and chronic wounds. To accelerate the recovery process of any wound, removal of the accumulated fluid and infectious materials from the wound surface is necessary. The NPWT device helps in the suction of the accumulated fluid by applying around 125 mm Hg pressure. The NPWT system consists of a vacuum pump, foam or gauze wound dressing, drainage tubing, a canister for storage of surgical or medical aspiration fluid, and an adhesive film dressing to cover and seal the wounds.

Parenteral packaging refers as an economical means of providing protection, presentation, identification, information, and convenience for parenteral products from the moment of production until it is used to the injectable route of drug administration. The sterility of the drug inside the container is essential as parenteral drugs are injected directly into the body tissue. So, packaging should protect and avoid any physical, chemical and biological contamination of the drug during the opening of the packaging. The common packaging material used for parenteral packaging are made of glass and plastic. The primary parenteral packaging for dosing and filling includes ampules, tubes, vials, inhalers, and syringes.

ICS are system devices and command network designed to monitor industrial processes. The ICS family includes PLC, SCADA, DCS, manufacturing execution systems (MES), and other control configurations. Initially, ICS operated on isolated networks, running on proprietary protocols with custom software. Hence, the exposure of these systems to cyber threats was limited.

Increasing allergic rhinitis is a major factor for allergic asthma leading to increase in research for the development of allergic immunotherapies for the treatment of asthma. The global asthma therapeutics market will observe a moderate growth during the forecast period because of loss of patent exclusivity of the major drugs, allowing the entry of generics into the market. This will lead to the erosion of the market share of the major asthma drugs. However, the presence of late-stage pipeline molecules will drive the market. An increase in the prevalence of asthma and the use of combination drugs will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
