Whiplash has become a very common injury that occurs to the neck and head due to the sudden acceleration and deceleration force, especially in the vehicle. Hence, increasing number of vehicles are implementing whiplash protection system in their car models to offer better safety. Manufacturers are developing anti-whiplash seats for the cars to minimize neck injury owing to the rapid movement. Key market players are also integrating sensing systems in the WPS to offer more protection and minimize the impact. These sensing systems are being developed in such a way that it can sense collision and severity of the impact and provide support at a very initial stage, minimizing the possibility of an injury. Seat backrest is also being equipped with Same Side Impact Protection System (SIPS). Manufacturers are also increasingly focusing on the design of anti-whiplash seats due to various heights, postures, and positions of occupants.

Recommended daily dairy consumption shows the quantity of various dairy products to be consumed to maintain a healthy diet. Among various dairy products, yogurt plays an essential role in maintaining a balanced diet. However, instead of consuming regular yogurt, people are increasingly opting for Greek yogurt as it is a great source of protein and calcium and has high nutritional value. Manufacturers are focusing on making Greek yogurt more nutritious and improving the flavor by adding nuts and fruits containing minerals and fiber. Food manufacturers are also reformulating perishable dairy products, especially Greek yogurt manufacturers have started producing dried Greek yogurt powder to incorporate it into various applications such as dips, sauces, smoothies, protein shakes, etc. Eliminating the risk of contamination, storage and short shelf life, dried Greek yogurt powder is also gaining popularity among the Greek yogurt manufacturers.

Growing demand for fuel efficiency continues to remain a key reason contributing towards growth of the global specialty fuel additives market positively. However, imposition of government regulations is predicted to inhibit demand for the specialty fuel additives significantly. A recently compiled report by Fact.MR reveals that the global market of energy drinks is predicted to register a CAGR of 4.9% throughout 2022.

Healthcare workers often perform a physical task, generally transferring a patient from one bed to another, from bed to stretcher, etc., hence while carrying out the transfer the force is put on the back which results in back problem and pain. To avoid all these complications, manufacturers are focusing on providing non-mechanical devices that can help in easy patient lateral transfer without causing any injuries to both the patient and healthcare workers. Meanwhile, increasing number of healthcare institutes and hospitals are also providing training to healthcare workers on properly using various techniques and materials such as transfer belts, using lateral sliding aids such as slid sheet, draw sheet, etc., to easily carry patient transfer process, reducing the number of injuries caused during transfer. Air-assisted lateral transfer mattresses are being used on a large scale to avoid the risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) among healthcare workers.

Produced by fermenting whole fish with water and salt, fish sauce is commonly used in Asian foods. However, offering various health benefits along with vitamins, minerals, and protein, fish sauce is gaining popularity in various cuisines. Manufacturers are also producing fish sauce by adding some sweeteners to enhance its flavor. Meanwhile, consumer's preference for spicy and ethnic flavors is also creating an opportunity in the fish sauce market as the manufacturers are using onion, garlic, cumin, tomato, bell pepper, and oregano to enhance the flavor of the fish sauce and at the same time offer variety to the consumers. With the consumers becoming more health conscious, manufacturers are focusing on new methods and techniques to reduce the sodium content in the fish sauce, without compromising on the taste.

Surge in demand for vehicles with eco-friendly features in the transportation industry has led to an upsurge in demand for battery electric vehicle globally. Increasing demand for relatively low maintenance cost of vehicles is projected to impact growth of the global battery electric vehicle market significantly in the upcoming years. A recently compiled report by Fact.MR reveals that the global market of battery electric vehicle is projected to reflect an impressive CAGR of 13.6% through 2022.

Hybrid electric vehicles are eco-friendly, include reduced emissions and reduced fuel consumption as compared to gasoline engine vehicles, hence the hybrid electric vehicles are gaining popularity across the globe. With several stringent emission policies by various countries, hybrid electric car manufacturers are focusing on developing new hybrid electric car batteries that can be recharged quickly. Data acquisition system and remote monitoring system are being implemented in the hybrid electric vehicles to locate nearby charging stations, help in navigation, etc.

Leading to higher nutrition value and protein, chickpeas are generally consumed with soups, salads, dip, spread, etc. Rising consumption is also leading to the rise in manufacturers offering chickpeas in various forms such as roasted, flavored, snack bar. Moreover, fried and seasoned chickpeas are also being consumed on a large scale. Consumers are becoming health conscious, hence are focusing on consuming food that is low in calories and fats. People have also started following various diets, among these, the Mediterranean diet is being followed on a large-scale and of which chickpeas form an important part. Hence, manufacturers are also looking forward to offering chickpeas in various flavors and forms without losing its protein, carbohydrate and fiber contents. Increase in production of chickpeas is also resulting in the development of new technology to store chickpeas protecting it from various insects and preventing it from getting rotten.

Converting source energy into motion, actuators in the automotive industry have been in a use for a long time. However, with technological advancements, automotive actuators are also being upgraded. Automotive manufacturers are also moving towards using electromechanical actuators due to the various benefits offered such as increased and consistent performance, low energy consumption and cost saving. Automotive actuator manufacturers are also developing actuators for next-gen by building a compact design that provides lightweight and low power consumption. There has also been an increase in the use of flap actuators in a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system in cars. Meanwhile, smart automotive actuators are also gaining popularity, these actuators use microcontrollers to perform various tasks based on customer requirements. These smart actuators also offer reliability, fuel efficiency, etc. Engine downsizing and emission regulations are also driving the demand for actuators by automotive manufacturers with advanced technologies and smart control system.

Increasing number of car accidents across the globe has made it vital for vehicles to earn top safety ratings during the crash test program. Hence, airbags in the vehicle form an important part of the safety features in the car. Most of the new cars are deploying airbags to protect occupants in frontal, rear and offset crashes with the help of airbags. However, knee airbag is considered to be one of the important safety features as they protect lower limbs. Governments and automotive governing councils across various nations have set safety standards and also provide vehicle safety ratings based on the in-vehicle safety systems.
