Surfactants are surface active agents, which are types of activators designed to enhance the dispersing/emulsifying and spreading properties of the spray mixture. Depending on the type of polar heads, these surfactants can be anionic, non-ionic, cationic, and amphoteric. If the charge is negative, the surfactant is called anionic; if the charge is positive, it is called cationic. The non-ionic surfactant has no charged groups in its head and amphoteric surfactant combines the properties of both anionic and cationic surfactants. The choice of surfactant in the agriculture industry depends primarily on the type of weed/ disease/ plant targeted.

The Asia-Pacific liquid hydrogen market, in terms of volume, is currently dominated by steam methane reforming. Steam reforming is the best available technique for hydrogen production. It is the most economical and effective way of producing hydrogen. This process also generates fewer wastes, liquid effluents, and chemical storage and none of these are particularly hazardous. Thus, this method is expected to continue to be the dominant method during the forecast period. Major players in the Asia-Pacific SMR market are Air Liquide, Linde plc, Air Products and Chemicals, In., and Messer Group.

The agriculture technology-as-a-service market comprises major companies providing various agriculture technologies such as guidance technology equipment, remote sensing equipment, data analytics software, robots, and drones. This varied range of market participants provide opportunities to other players willing to bear the high risks involved in the industry.

There are extensive range of technologies to produce liquid hydrogen from a range of resources in an environment friendly way. Other methods for production are yet to be commercialized and required additional R&D efforts. Photo-electrolysis is at an early stage of development. High-temperature processes require focus on further development of materials.

Commercial market constitutes delivery services hired by consumer for procuring a certain product. The service is booked by ordering an item online or via smartphone application with an additional handling or delivery charge. There can be different payment methods depending on the location and policy of the service provider.

The global anti-reflective coatings market is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period owing to the widespread adoption of the coatings in multiple applications. The increase in the number of end-user industries that need these coatings to enhance the efficiency of their products has led to the surging demand for anti-reflective coatings, worldwide.

LED grow lights are applied in different industrial uses, such as greenhouses, indoor farms, livestock farming and aquaculture, and research. As of 2018, the greenhouse application of LED grow lights was the largest. With increasing transformation in the farming sector and popularity of indoor farming, the application of LED grow lights in this sector is expected to skyrocket in the upcoming years.

The global tungsten carbide market is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period. This is due to their unique combination of strength, hardness, and toughness that satisfy the most demanding application requirements. The key feature of this material is the potential to vary in its composition so that the resulting physical and chemical properties ensure maximum resistance to wear, fracture, deformation, corrosion, and oxidation.

The global aerospace & defense sector is experiencing major fundamental changes, compelled by macro-level factors that are influencing the business as a whole. Issues such as technological disruptions, globalization, consolidation, and rising pricing pressures are prompting the industry stakeholders to adapt to the changing scenario rapidly and seek new opportunities to stay ahead of the competition.

Commercial vehicles are used for the purpose of transporting goods or fare-paying passengers (commuting passengers from one location to another). In the European Union, the European Commission, a commercial vehicle is defined as any motor vehicle that is used for transporting more than nine people and transporting goods and standard fuel tanks, whether it is for payment or not.
