There is a growing awareness regarding cancer screening and early diagnosis. This has led to diagnoses of cancer at earlier stages which have increased the survival rates in cancer patients compared to historic cancer patients’ survival rates. This is further supported by the advancements in treatments. These surviving cancer patients are at constant risk of relapse and cancer recurrence. These patients require regular monitoring for the signs of relapses to start early treatment. For instance, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer the estimated number of new cancer cases are expected to increase to 24.5 million by the year 2030 from 19.2 million cases in 2020.

The increasing adoption of organic feedstock for biogas generation and the integration of advanced technologies into anaerobic digestion systems are expected to create market growth opportunities. However, the operational issues with anaerobic digestion systems are major challenges for the players operating in this market. The increasing use of co-digestion is a prominent trend in the anaerobic digestion systems market.

Clean labels represent a consumer-driven movement that emphasizes a return to real food and transparency through authenticity. Clean-label products consist of natural, familiar, and simple ingredients. The rising demand for organic, natural, and "free from" artificial ingredients is anticipated to drive global demand for natural flavor products.

Due to the increasing demand for aesthetic alternatives to conventional braces, researchers and dental product manufacturers have innovated several solutions, such as composite braces, ceramic, lingual orthodontics, and clear aligners.

The Next Generation Sequencing Services Market is expected to register a CAGR of 19.8% from 2024 to 2031 to reach $24.44 billion by 2031. The growth of this market is mainly driven by the declining costs of sequencing procedures, the development & approval of new targeted therapies, the rising prevalence of cancer, partnerships between NGS service providers & pharmaceutical companies, the high cost of implementing sequencing infrastructure, and technological advancements in NGS.

Several industries were negatively impacted due to the disruption of supply chains and workforce limitations caused by the nationwide lockdowns. Closure of factories and trade restrictions also added to the existing challenges, severely impacting various industries. Manufacturing plants were shut down, affecting production, which led to a significant demand-supply gap. Infrastructure & construction industries in the U.S. witnessed acute labor shortages, suspension & cancellation of projects, and disrupted supply and logistics.

The rising adoption of AI-based services has resulted in a remarkable growth of the parking management market in recent years. This growth is primarily attributed to the increasing use of AI in parking technology for detecting the availability of parking space in a given image using a video feed in real time. AI analyzes the real-time data from sensors, cameras, and other sources to provide drivers with information on available parking spots, reducing the time spent searching for parking.

The growing access to EV charging infrastructure, government incentives supporting EV adoption, the decreasing total cost of EV ownership, and developing countries’ focus on expanding EV charging infrastructure and phasing out fossil fuel-powered vehicles are driving the adoption of electric vehicles globally. According to the International Energy Agency, despite the COVID-19 pandemic and associated supply chain bottlenecks, EV sales reached a record high in 2021.

Smart stores, also known as connected stores, autonomous stores, or intelligent retail environments, are brick-and-mortar stores that incorporate various technologies to enhance the shopping experience, optimize operations, and improve customer engagement and lifetime value (CLV). The development of smart shopping and autonomous stores globally has seen significant growth and innovation in recent years.
