The global Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-To-Machine (M2M) market is expected to grow at a substantial growth rate. Rising demand for cloud apps, wireless networks, and sensors, is affecting the growth of this market. The factors driving the IoT and M2M market rely on the government support, and enhancing connectivity.

Beer is one of the most preferred alcoholic beverages in Europe. There are large numbers of local players in Europe with no international presence. The advent of beer started in Western Europe and later on spread to Eastern Europe. Ukraine and Russia are some of the major countries boosting the demand for beer in Eastern Europe. However, due to high market penetration Western and Northern Europe is expected to have stable growth throughout the forecast period. The consumption rate of beer in Europe is the higher compared to other alcoholic beverages such as Wine and Spirits (Whiskey, Vodka, Rum and various others). Germany held the largest market share in Europe beer market followed by the U.K.

Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) is a relatively new yet fast maturing technology in the area of wastewater treatment. Prevalent technologies in wastewater treatment such as a conventional activated sludge (CAS) system are gradually replaced by MBR. Conventional systems had problems in settling the activated sludge used in the secondary clarifiers. This issue has been effectively resolved by MBR technology. Commercial MBR processes employed today utilize membranes for filtration purposes which reject any solid effluent materials formed as a byproduct of biological processes. The principal difference with its predecessor technology such as CAS systems is the replacement of secondary clarifier or settlement tank with a membrane. MBR's are generally employed for larger scale water purification systems. Primarily such systems are utilized by commercial and industrial sectors or by municipalities. With growing population and increasing requirements for sufficient clean and fresh water, treatment of wastewater is imperative. Of all the MBR's employed globally, a majority belongs to municipal corporations for treatment of domestic wastewater. MBR's are classified as submerged/immersed MBR's where membranes are submerged in the aeration tank itself and external/side stream MBR's. In side stream MBR's, mixed wastewater is pumped from the aeration tank to the membrane. The MBR markets are shifting from the initial regions of adoption such as Europe, U.S.A and Japan and gradually moving towards emerging economies (China, South Korea and Brazil) with larger populations and limited fresh water supply.

Building Integrated Solar photovoltaic (BIPV) systems utilize building integrated solar panels to generate electricity, by transforming solar radiations into electrical energy. The energy generated has wide applications in several sectors including residential, commercial and industrial sectors. The major advantage of the BIPV is decentralization of grid power. Basic raw materials used in manufacturing a BIPV cell is raw form of silicon (98% pure) which is doped with boron or phosphorus to generate electricity. Recent technologies provide innovative solutions such as transparent BIPV, walkable BIPV and insulated BIPV. These multifunctional technologies are expected to find applications in floors and walls, and are anticipated to drive the demand for the BIPV market.

The demand for shale gas is constantly increasing as the depleting reservoirs have forced the world to focus on unconventional source of energy. A revolution in this sector started with the production of shale gas in North America. The success of shale gas in North America has motivated other countries such as China to invest in it. The U.S. dominates the shale gas market in terms of production as well as revenue followed by Canada. China has not been able to produce shale gas at a commercial level and the production at the commercial level is expected to start in 2015. The price of natural gas has drastically decreased after shale gas production and is expected to remain low over the forecasted period. As natural gas is a feedstock and fuel for various industries hence reduction in prices has helped various industries such as petrochemical, chemical, automotive, etc. to increase their profit margins. Domestic and commercial customers are equally benefit from the reduction in price resulting in their low power bill.

Styrenic block copolymers (SBCs) are high-performance thermoplastic elastomers engineered to enhance the performance capabilities of a wide spectrum of end products and applications. SBCs are high performance materials with superior physical and chemical properties which make them suitable for use in various end use industries including the medical industry. SBCs possess the mechanical properties of rubbers, and the processing characteristics of thermoplasts. Styrenic block copolymers are made by anionic polymerisation with an organometallic catalyst, such as butyllithium, as initiator. Growing trend of replacing PVC with environment-friendly compounds has resulted in a surge in SBC demand for medical and healthcare applications.

Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol also known as glucitol or D- glucitol that is found in nature which gets metabolized slowly as compared to other dietary sugars. The rising diabetic and dietetic population, growing awareness in context to health concerns and better sugar alternatives are some of the primary driving forces boosting the market growth of sorbitol. The market is however restrained by fluctuating raw material prices and side effects caused by sorbitol on its excessive consumption.
