While the majority of Hispanics are speaking English and the influence of the American culture in their lives is strong, there are cultural differences beyond language that need to be considered when determining the most efficient way of communicating with them. In order to successfully communicate with Hispanics, it is important for marketers to learn as much as they can about them and be able to put the cultural differences in the right perspective.

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications growth is expected to accelerate, particularly in certain industry verticals, and especially due to the anticipated Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. One of the key areas of growth for M2M and IoT falls within the area of smart homes, smart buildings including offices and industrial, and smart cities.

That half of users of yogurt/yogurt drinks express concern about the sugar content in these highlights the need for the industry to tackle this issue. Trends towards clearer on-pack labelling in the UK will shine more light on the sugar content of yogurts.

As trends and behaviours continue to evolve in the colour cosmetics market, opportunities arise for brands to appeal to new consumers including older women, as well as inspiring a higher spend per product with technological advancements such as 3D printing and individually tailored products.

Adhesive is a broad term as it incorporates various materials like cement, glue, mucilage, and paste among others. Adhesives majorly comprise of polymers, which harden either in a physical manner or as a result of a chemical reaction, and are generally classified on the basis of their curing, or bonding, mechanism. On the other hand, sealant is a soft, pliable material that changes state to become solid after application, and is chiefly employed for the prevention of air, noise, dust, fire, smoke, and liquid penetration, where structural strength is not required. Sealants fall between the higher-strength adhesives and extremely low-strength putties and caulks. Adhesives and sealants are categorized on the basis of whether the bonding involves a physical or chemical mechanism.

There is increasing work on printed inorganics as people struggle with the performance of organics in some aspects. For conductors with vastly better conductance and cost, for the best printed batteries, for quantum dot devices and for transistor semiconductors with ten times the mobility, look to the new inorganics. That is the emerging world of new nanoparticle metal and alloy inks that are magnitudes superior in cost, conductivity and stability, such as the flexible zinc oxide based transistor semiconductors working at ten times the frequency and with best stability and life, along with many other inorganic materials. Read the world's only report that pulls all this together in readable form.

The public sector has long represented a major opportunity for private companies to sell products and services.
