World demand for security equipment will advance 7.0 percent annually to $117 billion in 2016.  The fastest gains will be in parts of Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa, and the Middle East where security markets are relatively underdeveloped.  Gains will be fueled by greater economic growth, new business formation and foreign investment activity, rising urbanization, and growing middle and upper class populations.  In general, demand for security equipment is also driven by the real and perceived risks of crime and the belief that public safety measures are insufficient.  Electronic security products accounted for nearly 65 percent of total global security equipment demand in 2011.  The commercial and industrial security equipment market accounted for nearly 65 percent of sales in 2011. 

The term "Smart Lighting" refers to the environment controlled by lighting control systems. In brief, lighting control systems use factors such as occupancy, available daylight, and time of day to turn lights on or off accordingly, thus providing noteworthy energy and cost savings. There is a demand supply gap in the power sector and to overcome this problem smart lighting is a perfect solution. The demand of intelligent lighting controls for lighting is increasing in a tremendous way and this further supports the exponential growth potential of smart lighting. This report covers the"Global Smart Lighting market" and all its market aspects with future opportunities, drivers, restraints and others in detail. Lighting control systems energy efficiency, development in electronics and sensor technology, eradication of incandescent lamps, favorable government policies and evolution of novel wireless technology are the key drivers behind the incredible growth of smart lighting market. This report describes different lighting types used in Smart lighting control systems such as light emitting diode (LED), fluorescent lamps (FL), compact fluorescent lamps (CFL), and high intensity discharge lamps (HID). Among all the other lighting types, LED lamps offer highest growth potential which is appealing many startups and big players to develop smart lighting solutions such as GreenWave realitys GreenChip-enabled light bulb, NXPs GreenChip iSSL wireless solution for LED bulbs and Philips Hue smart LED bulb. The report also explains various components used in the smart lighting market such as sensors, controllers and chipsets. The market for these components is also expected to have a high potential in the upcoming future.

The economics of the global robotics sector has slowed in the past several years due to transnational upsets in the global financial community but the industry remains a substantial and growing enterprise. In the countries studied in Robotics: Technologies and Global Markets, the market for whole robots, robot parts, robot software, and related safety materials now approaches $22 billion. The study forecasts it will rise at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% between 2013 and 2018, when it’s expected to surpass $29 billion. The bulk of the growth in the European Union will be concentrated in the latter part of the forecast period, when robotic development initiatives now being undertaken on an EU-wide basis will result in commercialized products. The distribution of growth among different types of robots also reflects a profoundly different approach in the EU toward encouraging the development of the industry than that in the North American market. The chief difference is an EU-wide emphasis on creating a new class of robots that can safely work in near proximity to humans and safely perform personal-care tasks that will be increasingly required as the European population ages.

Portable computer, tablet, and smartphone batteries make up one of the fastest-growing segments within the electronics market segment. This market study has identified a $2.4 billion global market for 2001. After slowly falling, sales in the market exploded due to the introduction of tablet computers and multifunctional smartphones. The $7.3 billion market in 2012 is projected to grow to $9.5 billion by 2017. The report also discusses the market potential of stationary applications. The overall stationary market was expected to reach nearly $2.8 billion in 2012. The largest increase will be for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and smaller remote stationary applications in view of protecting telecommunications facilities and preventing data lost during power outages. For instance, the global UPS large-and-advanced battery market is expected to grow from $2.3 billion in 2012 to about $2.8 billion by 2017.

Global homeland security market is estimated to be US$415.53 billion in 2013 and is expected to register a CARC of 5.54% to reach US$544.02 billion by 2018. The cumulative market for homeland security during the forecast period is estimated at US$2842.47 billion. However, about 15% of that total is expected to be the capital expenditure.

According to a new market research report “Building Automation & Controls Market (2013 – 2018): By Product, Application & Geography ”,  the total building automation and controls market is expected to reach $49.5 billion by 2018 growing at a CAGR of 11.2% from 2013 to 2018.

The global traction transformer revenue market is expected to grow from $1.17 billion in 2013 to $1.69 billion in 2018 at a CAGR of 7.52% from 2013 to 2018. In terms of revenue, the market for traction transformers in electric locomotives is larger as compared to the other rolling stock. The global traction transformer unit shipment market is expected to grow from 6,031 units in 2013 to 8,507 units in 2018 at a CAGR of 7.12% from 2013 to 2018. EMU traction transformers’ shipments are the largest, as they account for the most mature market.

Technological advancement is opening new doors for the growth of acoustic wave sensors especially in automotive and medical applications. Penetration of MEMS technology in acoustic wave sensing in the future is expected to play a major role in the overall market in the years to come. The market size of acoustic wave sensors in the year 2012 was $256.0 million and is expected to reach $721.13 million units by 2018, at an estimated CAGR of 20.2%. In terms of volume, the unit shipment for acoustic wave sensors was 848.81 million units in the year 2012 and is expected to reach 2,985.40 million units by 2018, at an estimated CAGR of 24.8% from 2013 to 2018.

Throughout history, instruments that opened our vision to the very small and the very distant changed long-held beliefs about the cause of infectious disease and man’s place in the cosmos. With greater precision came greater insights. Instruments capable of measuring the speed of light led Einstein to relativity. Devices that detected tiny changes in the Earth’s gravity guided Cold War submarines and today guide the search for deep oil.

Global PID&PS market is estimated to reach $16.3 billion by 2017, growing at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2012 to 2017. This growth is mainly attributed to heightened security concerns backed by government and regulatory mandates. The market is, however, facing the issues of technological dormancy and high cost. America is leading the total PID&PS market; followed by APAC and Europe respectively. In the market of ROW, Middle East and Africa are the largest contributors.
