As a result of changing demographics in the world, several countries are prominently becoming older societies. This along with the other factors such as industrialization and increasing proportion of women in labor force have led to shortage of informal caregivers consequently increasing the importance of formal caregivers for geriatrics in the society. The market formal care provided by private organizations is estimated as geriatric care services market in the present scope of research. Geriatric care services include a broad range of health, personal care and supportive services to meet the needs of elderly who possess limitations for self care due to injury, chronic illness, physical, mental and cognitive disability or other health related conditions. The services also include assistance with activities of daily living such as dressing, grooming, bathing, eating as well as daily instrumental activities such as house work and medication management. These services help people in maintaining or improving an optimal level of physical functioning and quality of life.

This report provides strategic analysis of the global System-on-Chip (SoC) market. The scope of the report includes competitive analysis of various market segments based on the types of SoC, applications of SoCs in various industry verticals and in-depth scrutiny of the SoC market across different geographic segments. Global market for system-on-chip has been covered under the scope of this report. A SoC is similar to a central processing unit (CPU) of a computer. However it is much smaller in size and all the components such as microprocessor, memory and peripherals among others are packaged together onto the chip. The components of a SoC vary depending on the device it is to be used in. A typical SoC consists of a microprocessor, graphic processing unit (GPU), memory, peripherals, timing sources, analog interfaces, external interfaces, power management circuits and voltage regulators among others. The small form factor combined with computing power of SoCs has led to its integration into various devices such as smart phones, smart washing machines, tablets, smart air-conditioners, smart television, set-top boxes, industrial automation applications and electrocardiogram telemetry devices among others. Thus a SoC contains everything that a motherboard of a computer has but it consumes much less space and power while having similar or better performance.

Rapidly expanding domestic and industrial markets and the growth of the packaging industry have led to increased demand for specialty printing consumables. The U.S. market for specialty printing consumables is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period from 2016 to 2024. The U.S. specialty printing consumables market was valued at US$ 24.09 Bn in 2015. The most significant factor fueling the market is the expansion of the commercial printing industry.

Global calcium propionate market was valued at USD 327.7 million in 2015 and is expected to reach USD 480.3 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 4.9% over the forecast period 2015 to 2023. Calcium propionate is largely used in bakery products like bread, cakes, rolls, and other yeast-based products, and various other items such as animal feed, meat & processed meat products, dairy products, packaged food products such as condiments, sauces, jam, diet food, chocolate, soups, salads etc, beverages and various other products. In addition, rising prices of animal feed products is another major concern to preserve feed grains, in order to avoid their spoilage and improve animal performance. Apart from this, busy lifestyles have resulted in rising demand for ready to eat food products that are not easily affected by bacteria. However, the alarming rise in health issues faced by consumers has made them aware of consuming healthy and nutritive convenience food products. The need to minimize the intake of fats and calories influences the rising demand for various functional food variants. In addition, calcium propionate is considered to be one of the safest additives that are utilized in various food products to avoid the spoilage of food products especially during transportation. Calcium propionate has anti-microbial properties that improve efficiency and processing tolerance and extend shelf life of different food products. Owing to these factors, the demand for calcium propionate is expected to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period.

Limited availability of global freshwater resources influence the adoption of irrigation methods for efficient usage of water. It is anticipated that the global population would reach nine billion by 2050 which would require double the current agricultural produce with limited water resources. Mechanized irrigation systems improves water utilization efficiency by 45% more compared to flood irrigation. Mechanized irrigation systems, such as center pivot irrigation systems and linear move irrigation systems, have been developed to maximize water efficiency and minimize operating costs while maximizing the return on investments. Mechanized irrigation systems are designed to adapt to a variety of weather, crop, soil type, and field conditions. Regardless of field size and shape, mechanized irrigation systems can be designed and configured to meet consumer requirements.

This report provides in-depth analysis of the fluoroscopy and mobile C-arms market. The stakeholders for this report include companies involved in the manufacturing of fluoroscopy and mobile C-arm equipment, suppliers and new players who wish to enter the market.

The automotive sector is one of the booming sectors currently and is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The automotive sector at present is more inclined towards customer safety and comfort, as well as improved performance. In addition, emission norms passed in various regions is fueling the usage of microprocessors in the automotive sector.

Machine vision is a technology that helps the computer to visualize the work environment. This technology is used to automatically inspect the images it captures and analyze them. It helps in robot guidance, process control, and automatic inspection in the industry. This technology is rapidly replacing manual inspection and measurements with image processing and smart cameras. These smart cameras independently run and function without depending upon the computers. Furthermore, adoption of machine vision system in industrial and non-industrial sectors is expected to escalate the demand and growth of this market.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a disorder categorized by excess fat in the liver of people who drink little to no alcohol. No direct cause has yet been identified, however obesity and insulin resistance are believed to have major roles. Most often, NAFLD goes relatively undetected, as a liver can remain fatty without obstructing its function. Though, NAFLD can progress into a far more severe condition known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a disease characterized by inflammation and irreversible cell death. NASH is a disease that advances over time. Over a period of ten years up to 20% of patients with NASH develop cirrhosis of the liver, and 10% die from the disease. At present, NASH is one of the leading causes of liver transplants in the U.S., with a considerable proportion of the general population currently suffering from the disease. NAFLD and NASH are both closely related to diabetes and obesity, and together are now considered as the leading cause of liver disease in Western countries. Thus, there is an urgent need for effective treatment options for these diseases. The need for treatment is expected to propel the growth of NASH therapeutics in coming years.
