The commercial telematics market has gained significant momentum in recent years due to the features and services offered by telematics solutions. This report provides a comprehensive strategic analysis of the global market for commercial telematics along with the market size and growth forecast for the period 2012 - 2020. Commercial telematics broadly refers to a system using which an electronic or mechanical device communicates with other devices or human users with the help of a telecommunication network. Factors such as government regulations for mandatory use of telematics technology, wide adoption of commercial telematics across various industries including insurance and infotainment, and increasing partnerships between automobile manufacturers and telematics service providers has led to the growth of global commercial telematics market. Furthermore, rising penetration of broadband and high speed long-term evolution (LTE) technologies across the globe and the increasing demand for high-end luxury cars is driving the adoption and demand for commercial telematics.

The primary objective of the report is to offer updates on the advancements on crop enhancement products such as biostimulants. This report starts with an overview of the global biostimulants market and segments on the basis of application type, crop type, active ingredient type and geography.

Web real-time communication solution enables user to communicate in real-time. It supports browser to browser applications for voice calls, video calls and text sharing. Web real-time communication solution uses Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), HTML5 and JavaScript to embed communication technologies within the browser. It follows the principle of encryption of both data and signalling which enables secure communication between the sender and receiver. The solution is easy to use and does not require any special specification and helps in reducing business cost, which in turn is increasing its popularity globally. In addition, it enhances user experience by facilitating un-interrupted voice and video communication.

The BMS manages batteries by controlling load environment, monitoring battery state and accordingly balancing the charging. Battery management system is useful for ensuring prolonged life of batteries, preventing battery damage due to overcharging and voltage fluctuations, managing optimal state of charging for the battery and facilitating BMS interfaces with host application to provide real-time information regarding battery health. BMS follows three types of topologies, which are distributed, centralised and modular. Distributed BMS has a single communication cable controller and battery; a cell board is installed at each cell. Centralised BMS has a single controller, which is connected to battery cells with the help of communication wires. Modular BMS has multiple controllers that handle certain number of cells and communicate with each other.

Rubber application of specialty silica in products such as tyres and mechanical rubber goods are experiencing robust growth in demand. The rubber application segment is expected to witness robust growth during the forecast period. In recent years, increasing demand for green tyres (use of specialty silica instead of carbon black), due to increased fuel efficiency has resulted in growing demand for specialty silica products.

Stringent regulations by government and environment regulatory bodies are expected to primarily drive the global market of specialty fuel additives. Increasing consumption of biodiesel and ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) are projected to boost fuel additives demand especially cold flow improvers, lubricity improvers and cetane improvers. In addition, innovation and introduction of new engine technologies are leading to growth in differentiation of various fuel additives for specific functions. Moreover, increasing consumption of fuels in various developing countries such as India and China are projected to boost the fuel additives demand.

High production costs associated with petroleum based succinic acid is a key challenge for industry participants leading to enhanced focus on the development and commercialization of bio-based succinic acid. However, with the advent of bio-derived succinic acid, the cost of production is expected to decline which is expected to further fuel the demand for succinic acid globally. Bio-based succinic acid is gaining popularity due to high degree of government intervention to reduce industrial waste and air pollutants.

Corrosion inhibitors are made of various organic and inorganic chemicals such as molybdates, phosphonates, silicates and triazoles among others. Corrosion inhibitors form a layer over the metallic substrate and protect the metal from corrosion, thereby enhancing the life of the metal. The effectiveness of corrosion inhibitors depends on flow regime, quantity of liquid and fluid composition.

Antibacterial glass is developed in order to impart bactericidal and fungicidal properties on its surface. The glass is designed in a manner such that it prevents the spread of fungi as well as eliminates majority of the bacteria that form on its surface. It is developed via one of two processes: infusion and coating. Furthermore, antibacterial glass can also be developed using an active ingredient other than silver. These include copper and zinc; however, majority of the antibacterial glass developed employs silver as the active ingredient, in line with AGC's development process. On account of its properties, this glass is used where a sterile environment is required, for example in hospitals, bathrooms, hotels, etc. Technological advancements and the ready acceptance of health-improving devices are expected to be the key contributors for increasing demand for antimicrobial coatings. Additionally, the healthcare industry is a highly lucrative end-use industry for antimicrobial coatings.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, around 26% of the world's land area and about 70% of the agricultural area is covered by grasslands, which contribute to the livelihoods of millions. Grasslands are a source of goods such as food and forage. The global forage feed market has been experiencing significant expansion over the years. This can be attributed to the surge in global meat consumption, growth in farm animal production, and increasing awareness about the health benefits of forage feed in animals.
