The hospital acquired infections testing kits market is expected to grow from $2 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 9.4%. The hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are on the rise, affecting both the inpatients and outpatients. Hospital-acquired infections or nosocomial infections are diseases that are acquired in hospitals and medical clinics. For example, according to the findings by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, around 1.7 million people in the USA acquire hospital-acquired infections caused while being admitted for other health issues and more than 98,000 (around 5%) patients die due to these infections. The increasing incidence of hospital-acquired infections leads to an increase in the demand for hospital-acquired infections testing kits. Most of the underdeveloped and developing nations lack proper health insurance that covers essential health services. According to a report by the World Bank and the World Health Organization, more than 50% of the world’s population cannot avail of essential health services due to expensive healthcare services that push them to poverty. For instance, 800 million people spend more than 10% of their household budgets on health expenses for themselves, a sick child, or other family members, and for almost 100 million people these expenses are high enough to push them into extreme poverty. This lack of financially affordable healthcare hinders the market growth for diagnostic services including hospital-acquired infection testing. The diagnostic tests involved in diagnosing HAIs such as flow cytometry, mass spectrometry, near-infrared spectroscopy, and nucleic acid-based technologies are advancing in technologies, providing more accurate data. There has been a significant advancement in mass spectrometers, which quantifies known materials, and identifies unknown compounds within a sample. For instance, SCIEX’s X500 QTOF solves the challenge of contamination and is a compact device that does not compromise on resolution and accuracy. It gives results sooner and allows the operator to make data-driven decisions sooner. The hospital-acquired infections testing kits are regulated by government agencies such as US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the USA, and the European Medicines Agency/Committee in European Region.

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are a class of materials (metals, alloys, or intermetallic compounds) that have been reinforced with particles, whiskers, or continuous fibers. MMCs are excellent substitutes for conventional materials owing to their hardness, specific strength, and creep resistance. The main types of metal matrix composites are aluminium MMC, magnesium MMC, copper MMC, superalloys MMC, and others. Aluminum is a chemical compound that is a light, silver-colored metal that is mostly utilized in the manufacture of cooking equipment and aircraft components. Aluminum metal matrix composites (AlMMCs) are a type of material that has been shown to fulfil the majority of the stringent requirements in applications requiring lightweight, high stiffness, and moderate strength. Magnesium-matrix composites have been developed for the space industry thanks to the low density of magnesium and its alloys. Copper-matrix composites are superior compared to other MMCs. Some equipment in particle accelerators, such as Radio Frequency Quadrupoles (RFQs) or electron targets, uses copper MMC compounds such as Glidcop to retain the material properties of copper at high temperatures and radiation levels. Super alloys are commonly used as candidate materials for manufacturing gas turbine blades, where they operate at higher temperatures and speeds. The various production technologies include liquid metal infiltration, powder metallurgy, casting, and deposition techniques. Metal matrix composites are used in various sectors, such as automotive and transportation, aerospace and defense, electrical and electronics, and industrial, among others.

Heavy trucks are defined as commercial motor vehicles used for the transportation of goods with a weight of 2.72 tons or more when empty and 4.54 tons or more when loaded. The main types in the heavy truck market are class 5, class 6, class 7, and class 8. Class 8 trucks refer to the class 8 trucks that are used commercially and have great load capacity. The various fuel types include diesel, natural gas, hybrid electric, and gasoline. These are used in construction and mining, freight and logistics, and other applications. The heavy truck market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides heavy truck market statistics, including heavy truck industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a heavy truck market share, detailed heavy truck market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the heavy truck industry. This heavy truck market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global heavy trucks market size will grow from $208.31 billion in 2022 to $222.57 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global heavy trucks market size is expected to grow to $283.71 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.3%. Growth in the demand for heavy trucks from end-users such as in construction, mining, and other sectors is contributing to the growth of the heavy truck manufacturing market. According to executives of leading truck makers, an increase in construction activities boosted the sales of tipper trucks, concrete mixers, and other heavy vehicles. Also, the 2021, according to the American Trucking Association, the revenue of the trucking industry was reported to be $ 875.5 billion. In June 2021, around 4.06 million Class 8 trucks were in operation, 2.3% up from 2020. An increase in demand for heavy trucks from end-users is expected to drive the heavy truck market in the forecast period. The COVID-19 outbreak across the globe has impacted the production and demand for heavy trucks, and this is expected to restrain the heavy truck market during the forecast period. The pandemic has led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of several manufacturing units to contain the disease. Such a lockdown norm has led to supply chain disruptions across several industries, including heavy truck manufacturing industries. S&P Global Inc., a financial information and analytics company, indicated that global sales of heavy-duty trucks will decline by 20% to 30% in 2020 due to the COVID-19 impact. Furthermore, by 2021, the sales recovery is expected to be delayed by 10%. Therefore, the COVID-19 outbreak is a major restraining factor that is expected to impact the growth of the heavy truck market negatively. Vehicles fitted with advanced driver-assistive technologies and safety features are new trends in the heavy truck market. Advanced driver-assistive technologies include features like the Collision Mitigation System (CMS) and a Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), aiming to reduce road accidents and increase vehicle safety. For instance, in 2022, Tata Motors, an Indian-based, commercial vehicle manufacturer, launched India’s first CNG-powered medium and heavy commercial vehicle truck and introduced a new-age, advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) including collision mitigation system, lane departure warning system and driver monitoring system in its best-selling range of trucks including Prima, Signa and Ultra trucks to enhance driving comfort. In April 2021, Battle Motors, a US-based company developing electric vehicle (EV), acquired Crane Carrier Company LLC., manufacturing construction truck and garbage truck chassis, for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition will help Battle Motors to develop Class 7 and 8 vocational truck electrification. Crane Carrier Company (CCC) is a US-based company specializes in manufacturing purpose-built Class 7 and 8 severe-duty trucks. Major players in the heavy trucks market are Volvo Trucks, Daimler, Paccar, Isuzu Motors Ltd., TATA motors, Eicher Motors Ltd., Dongfeng Motor Group Company Ltd., Navistar, Ford Motor Company, and Volkswagen.
