Sodium acetate, also known as sodium ethanoate, can be synthesized by reacting acetic acid with sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide. Sodium acetate trihydrate is a granular, crystalline powder with acetic odor, while sodium acetate anhydrous is a granular, hygroscopic powder. Sodium acetate trihydrate and sodium acetate anhydrous have been approved by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) as Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) compounds. These compounds are non-flammable and non-toxic in nature. Sodium acetate is manufactured in compliance with the rules and legislations laid down by regulatory authorities such as the American Chemical Society for chemical applications, the U.S. Pharmaceutical Convention (USP-NF) for pharmaceutical applications and Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) for food applications.

Microencapsulation is the process of enclosing active ingredients such as drugs, pigments, agrochemicals and others inside protective coverings called shells. These shells allow controlled and sustained release of active ingredients. Microencapsulation technology has several advantages, prominent among them being targeted delivery of active ingredients, and sustained release and protection of active ingredients from the external environment. This technology is used in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, detergents, functional foods and industrial chemicals, among others. Leading companies such as Nestle, Procter & Gamble Co. (P&G) and others employ the microencaspualtion technology in order to reduce the quantity of raw materials required in the manufacture of final products. This helps these companies lower the cost of manufacturing.

Home networking devices are used to set up a local area network (LAN) in order to connect personal devices. The market is segmented on the basis of solution and component. The solution segmentation comprises wired and wireless home networking devices. Wired and wireless devices are further divided on the basis of technology into network line, powerline, Wi-Fi and, ZigBee and Z-Wave. This detailed segmentation indicates the upcoming trend in the market according to technological evolution. Wired home networking devices are connected through a network cable and electrical wires. Network line sub-segment consists of MoCA certified products which work on coaxial cable. Powerline-based home networking devices consist of adapters which convert home electrical wiring into network line for transferring data.

High altitude platforms (HAPs) are systems equipped with different payloads used for applications such as surveillance, environmental monitoring, communication, and navigation. These systems are designed to stay aloft for long periods at altitudes of more than 50,000 feet. Typically, HAPs are stationed in the stratosphere layer, which are much higher than the altitude at which commercial aircraft operate. The most significant factor responsible for the growth of the HAP market is their cost effectiveness as compared to the satellite systems used for similar applications. HAPs require less operating and maintenance expenditure than satellites, and are compatible with the existing infrastructure. The government and defense sector is the largest consumer of HAPs, using them as efficient surveillance systems. High expenditure on this sector from various countries is another important factor propelling the market's growth. Furthermore, the HAPs market is also significantly driven by the rapidly increasing penetration and demand for wireless communication services worldwide. The market witnesses significant restraints from the high costs of UAV aircraft, coupled with their lower flight hours. Additionally, the market is also challenged by some of the operational issues of aerostat systems and airships.

Technological advancements are shaping the dynamics of the global power management IC market. Innovation in terms of configurability and programmability of a system is driving the global power management IC market.

Home energy management systems (HEMS) are devices that allow home-owners to monitor and manage their electricity consumption wisely. The global home energy management system (HEMS) market is striving to meet the basic demand for a universal platform that solves the problem of interface and complexities involved in installations.
