Butadiene is manufactured by using petrochemical as well as bio-based raw materials. Synthetic butadiene and bio-based butadiene are product segments of the market. Synthetic butadiene is one of the primary petrochemicals that is obtained by steam cracking of hydrocarbons. However, bio-based butadiene is produced by using renewable raw material sources such as non-food biomass. Synthetic & bio-based butadiene is widely used in synthetic rubber processing and industrial polymer industries. The market has been segmented based on application into styrene-butadiene rubber, butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene latex, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, adiponitrile, and others such as nitrile rubber. Butadiene rubber was the largest application segment of the synthetic & bio-based butadiene market in 2014; however, adiponitrile is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment of the global synthetic & bio-based butadiene market from 2015 to 2023. End-user industries of butadiene such as paints & coatings and printing inks are likely to drive the market by 2023. However, there is substantial threat of substitutes to raw materials as well as due to emerging process technologies in the market.

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.

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.

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.
