The global commercial aviation industry is gradually moving toward developing and adopting economically and environmentally sustainable models of aircraft. This implies minimizing the combustion of jet fuel and driving these operations with alternate energy resources. Aircraft taxiing is one such operation, which is being investigated by researchers globally to adopt sustainable ways to avoid engaging the main engines and thus, bring down fuel consumption. Stakeholders were gradually progressing toward the development, but the steep fall in the oil prices discouraged potential stakeholders to invest in new technology. Technavio expects the market to generate revenue from 2018 when few alternate taxiing systems will be commercialized.

Parachutes are devices used to reduce aerodynamic motion of an object by creating drag (or lift for ram-air parachutes used in paragliding) to drop payloads including people, equipment, bombs, and relief aids from airborne platforms. Historically, parachutes were made using lightweight silk materials; however, most modern parachutes are made using nylon or synthetic polymers. Parachutes are broadly classified into two categories such as ascending and descending canopies, where former ones are designed to provide ascend movements or lift to the flying paragliders, whereas the descending canopies are used for airdropping any object or people from airborne platforms.

Technological advances such as integration of digital technology with diagnostic instrumentation, multiple technologies-based hematology analyzers, and quick monitoring of blood flow in deep tissues with real-time software correlators are boosting the growth of the IVD instruments market. The growing popularity of automation and technological advances have led to new product development user-friendly diagnostic instruments for laboratories and physician offices, as well as home-care settings. Manufacturers are increasingly shifting toward shortened analyzer product cycles with value-added features such as portability of instruments to stay ahead in the market.

A microcontroller (MCU) is a small computer on a single integrated circuit (IC) containing a memory, processor core, and programmable I/O peripherals. MCUs are designed for embedded applications unlike the microprocessors used in PCs or other general purpose applications involving various discrete chips. An MCU is an independent system with memory and a processor that can be used as an embedded system. Most programmable MCUs are embedded in other consumer products such as automobiles, cellphones, and household appliances. MCUs are sometimes also referred as embedded controllers.

A telehandler, also called a telescopic handler, is a machine that is used to lift loads in agricultural, construction, environment, logistics, and mining and quarrying industries. Apart from lifting loads, this machine can be used for material handling, digging trenches, and elevating personnel and underground mine baskets.

Commercial vehicle infotainment systems allow the driver to control audio or video sources as per his preferences from his position. Along with entertainment, these systems also provide information regarding the vehicle, navigation, and connectivity. The global automotive industry is highly competitive. Due to the nature of competition, product life cycle, and consumer demand, the global automotive industry goes through dynamic growth phases. Currently, the industry is characterized by companies relocating their production centers from developed to developing regions. During the 2008-2009 global financial crisis, the industry experienced a considerable decline in demand. However, the markets have stabilized now, which is primarily due to the relative economic stability in developed nations. The exhibit below depicts the GDP performance of top economies.

Magnetic materials are those materials that either inherently possess magnetic properties or can be magnetized using an external magnetic field. Magnetic materials can be broadly categorized into hard and soft magnetic materials. The applications of magnetic materials include automotive and transportation, electronics and instrumentation, industrial applications, energy generation, medical equipment, defense, and information technology. Magnetic materials have natural magnetic properties and are used for creating a magnetic field. The magnetic field produced has the capacity to attract other ferromagnetic materials.

Specialty gases are a class of high-purity gases that require precise blending of component gases in a gas mixture. Specialized preparation methods and laboratory analysis are used to quantify the component gases in the mixture of gases. This is to obtain high-quality gases with minimal impurities. Advanced production processes, instrumentation, and analytical measurements require high-purity gases for minimal interference in the processes. Specialty gases are different from industrial gases in the sense that they can be a highly pure single gas or can be a mixture of 20-30 gases. The impurity tolerance for specialty gases is set by the end users that require an accuracy of +=1%.

HVAC is a technology to maintain the internal temperature of the vehicle cabins. Automotive HVAC systems comprise of various components such as refrigeration units, blower motors, and actuators, which are coupled with ducts. Due to the increased demand for comfort in vehicles, these compressors are increasingly being used even in mass selling cars as well as commercial vehicles. There are two types of HVAC compressors: automatic HVAC compressor and manual HVAC compressor. Automatic HVAC compressors are fitted in the premium and luxury segment passenger cars.
