Cloud Computing is the practice of sharing a network of remote servers which are hosted on the Internet to store, process, and manage data rather than on a local server or a personal computer. It specifically refers to a common storage space through which all the devices in the network can access data simultaneously. The use of Cloud Computing technology not only gives cost benefits but also makes applications accessible to all devices in the network at any time and from any location.

Portable medical electronic devices are the electronic equipment used in healthcare industry for monitoring, operating managing medical conditions. The global market for minimal invasive medical device is expecting the growth of approximately $24 billion. Increase in the aging population, and rising healthcare costs are driving the growth for this market. Increase in technological advancement will affect the cost of medical devices, which is providing a competitive edge for the manufacturers. For example, Rapid technological advancement in semiconductor is providing large-scale integration and reduced power consumption for ECG devices. The growth of global market for Portable medical electronic devices is hampered due to security concerns in the device, and connectivity problems.

Illegal drug is non-prescribed type of drug taken for non-medicinal reasons that affects physical and mental health of addicts. According to National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 19.9 million Americans use illegal drugs in a month. There were more than 208 million people consuming illegal drugs worldwide. Change in life style attracts younger people to consume illicit drugs, which is a major driver for this market. There are 253,000 death occurred due to consumption of illicit drugs out of which 1.3% are of the age between 15-35 years in US. Increase in variety of drug consumption ceases the flexibility of drug testing devices. Increase in drug variety creates complexities in identifying drug level in Drug testing devices, this stands as a major restraints for the market.

The importance of Solar energy is increasing with depleting natural resources. 39.9 percent of energy is generated with the help of coal, which contributes to environmental pollution. Solar energy is a viable alternative to fossil fuels that are also contributing to environmental pollution. Per capita investment in solar energy plant is restraining the market to adopt solar power plants. Further, low operating and maintenance cost is another important factor driving the adoption of solar power in developing countries. Solar energy is collected and utilized through various technologies such as solar PV, Solar Thermal and Concentrated PV. These technologies are promoted by the governments and power companies by giving subsidies. Research and development is being conducted on various other technologies and they are in pipeline at present. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for energy sources that are non-depleting and environmentally friendly. This is a major driving force escalating the global solar energy market. Growing energy consumption and energy crisis in developing economies has brought the importance of solar energy in developing economies such as China, India, Brazil, Canada and Germany. This report provides information about the current market trends and adoption level of solar energy technologies as well as discusses potential opportunities in this market.
