Emerging markets, which are witnessing a strong growth in the number of high net ...

Strict Enforcement of Occupational Safety Standards Drives Sales of Hearing Protection Devices, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Hearing Protection Devices. The global market for Hearing Protection Devices is projected to reach US$714 million by 2020 , driven by the strict enforcement of occupational safety standards. Hearing protection devices are personal protective equipment worn outside or inside the ear for protection against prolonged exposure to loud noise. The market is driven by the legislation of stringent worker safety regulations worldwide. Noise induced hearing loss is a major occupational hazard in heavy industrial, manufacturing and construction environments. Other activities which require hearing protection include work with metal presses, pneumatic drills, turbines, and pipe-driving work, among others. The global market is poised to benefit from the rising levels of empl...

Rise in Global Production of PCBs Drives the Surface Mount Technology Equipment Market, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Equipment. The global market for Surface Mount Technology Equipment is projected to reach US$4.5 billion by 2020 , driven by the strong demand for electronic products and the ensuing increase in production of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). The global market for Surface Mount Technology (SMT) equipment is driven by the telecommunications, computing and consumer appliances sectors, all of which are prolific users of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). PCBs are vital components of the omnipresent IC chip technology present in virtually all modern electronic devices. Earlier, components were mounted onto a PCB board using the “through-hole technology” either manually or by using automated insertion mount machines. However, the miniaturization tren...

Growing Infrastructure Needs in Developing Countries Spurs Demand for Pipes & Pipe/Hose Fittings, According to a New Report Update by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Pipes and Pipe/Hose Fittings. The global market for Pipes and Pipe/Hose Fittings is projected to reach US$320 billion by 2020 , driven by the growing focus on infrastructure development in developing countries. Pipes are of critical economic importance as they form the structural foundation of water, fuel and gas distribution infrastructure. Pipes and tubes also find use in other numerous applications that involve movement of fluid within a closed loop, such as, in hot water heating systems, and air conditioning and refrigeration systems. The global market for pipes is therefore influenced by economic dynamics of residential/non-residential construction, agricultural spending, highway spending, natural gas exploration, and consumer goods manufacture...

Robust Demand for Faster Processing Speeds Drives the Global PCIe SSD Market, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on PCIe SSD. The global market for PCIe SSD is projected to reach 4.5 million units by 2020 , driven by the growing number of IOPS in data heavy applications, and rising demand for high performance storage solutions with faster processing speeds. A key evolutionary development in the storage industry is the convergence of PCIe, a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard, and Solid State Drives (SSDs). Key factors driving the convergence of PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) and enterprise SSD include the growing native availability of PCIe interconnects on all CPU devices and the growing trend towards integrating SAS, SATA, and Fibre Channel (FC) with PCIe host interface. PCIe SSD is a technology where PCIe is engineered as the primary interface for SSD sub-sy...

Steady Rise in Vehicle Ownership Rates Drives Demand for Lubricating Oils & Greases, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Lubricating Oils and Greases. The global market for Lubricating Oils and Greases is projected to reach 12.4 billion gallons by 2020 , driven by the rise in vehicle ownership rates in developing countries.  Strong demand for a range of manufactured finished goods and the subsequent need to expand production capacities are compelling manufacturers to rely on machinery to automate their production and processing activity. The importance of smooth functioning of such machinery and the need to prevent equipment failure due to excess friction and lack of lubricity, are driving demand for lubricating oils and greases. Lubricating oils and greases help reduce friction and heat between moving mechanical parts in machinery and automobiles, thus preventing premature wear and ...
