The global market for thermal imaging continues to grow owing to the increasing adoption of thermal imaging devices in new applications. Thermal imaging cameras are being increasingly used in emerging applications such as manufacturing process monitoring and maintenance and for commercial security purpose. In addition, increasing investment by governments of countries such as UK, China, India and Japan on up gradation of weapons and battle equipment is driving the growth of thermal imaging market.

The research report on virtual reality in gaming market provides detailed industry analysis and helps in understanding the driving forces behind the popularity of virtual reality games in the global market. Virtual reality provides a simulated environment created with the help of hardware and software, which the user experiences as a real environment. Virtual reality in gaming refers to the use of sound and graphics technology in games where the user wears devices such as head mounted display (HMD), gloves or glasses as a part of their experience.

In urban areas, water is the most neglected natural resource. Smart water solutions and services are still struggling for rapid adoption in major part of the globe owing to lack of regulatory support from the governments in some regions such as Africa, and Western Asia among others. Aging water infrastructure especially in developed economies such as the U.S.A., Canada, and Germany among others is a major driver for adoption of smart water technology solutions. Aging water infrastructure results in bursts, pipe leakage, and increased customer complaints. Water regulatory bodies are mandating stricter environmental standards related to smart water management which is another important driver for this market. Smart water management market is expected to witness substantial growth in the coming years due to stricter environmental standards mandated by water regulatory bodies across the globe and need to minimize water loss and non-revenue water (NRW). Sustainable water management policies are high on the agenda of various governments across the world. Adverse effects of climate change such as risk of flooding, rising sea levels, and longer drought periods have affected the availability of fresh water resources needed to maintain economic growth and increasing populations.

Shift towards replacing petrochemical fibers with cellulose fibers from major end-use industries has been one of the major factors propelling the demand for cellulose fibers from the textile industry. The study includes a comprehensive view of the industry by segmenting and analyzing key applications of cellulose fibers, namely, spun yarn, fabrics, and clothing among others.

Increase in consumption of aerosol propellants in paints and coatings, medical and household applications are fueling the demand for aerosol propellants. Steady and consistent demand from the aerosol industry is expected to be a major growth engine for the global aerosol propellants market. Propellants are the chemical used in an aerosol container to generate pressure that pushes the contents out of a nozzle once released; therefore it is one of the key ingredients in aerosol sprays.

Increased importance for vehicle safety and weight reduction has been the major driving factor for the nanocomposite market globally. A significant increase in the application of nanocomposites in building & construction has also been one of the major factors contributing to growth of the nanocomposites market. Combined with a high volume of consumption in electronics & semiconductors, the market for nanocomposites has been showing increased product sales in the past few years. High cost of certain products that are necessary in certain end-user industries has been one of the factors holding back the market for nanocomposites.

The demand for polyurethane dispersions is mainly triggered by growing demand from the coatings and adhesive industry. In the coming years, the new regulations that limit the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) allowed in paints, adhesives, coatings and other such products, is expected to provide potential opportunities for the market to flourish.

Polyphenols are naturally occurring chemical compounds that are found in substances such as grape skin and olives. Many polyphenols have also been manufactured synthetically since their potential health benefits have become known. Polyphenols have the potential to be used in the treatment of diseases such as cancer and cardiac disorders. The global polyphenols market assumes significance in this respect.

Stringent government regulations for disposal of drilling fluids coupled with a paradigm shift towards development of shale gas and deep sea reserves is expected to drive the drilling fluids waste management market in Latin America from 2014 to 2020. Currently, drilling fluids waste management companies are reaping the rewards of the boom in the oil and gas industry in Latin America. Drilling activities, especially in the eco-sensitive areas of Amazon and offshore areas of Brazil, require special attention and monitoring in terms of disposal of drilling fluids waste. However, regulations related to drilling fluids waste management vary in different countries. Disposal limits of drilling fluids also depend upon the types of drilling fluids. Thus, these may differ for oil-based, water-based and synthetic drilling fluids.
