The surging prevalence of foodborne zoonotic diseases in the U.S. is creating a huge requirement for animal healthcare products. Such diseases are caused by the intake of water or food contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms, such as viruses, parasites, and bacteria. These disease-causing microorganisms enter the animal body through the gastrointestinal tract, where the initial symptoms are observed. Most common foodborne zoonotic diseases are caused by listeria, salmonella, E. coli, campylobacter, yersinia, trichinella, cryptosporidium, toxoplasma, giardia, and toxins of Clostridium perfringens, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Clostridium botulinum, which can be eliminated by certain animal healthcare products.   Additionally, the increasing domestic consumption and export of meat and milk will support the U.S. animal healthcare market growth in the coming years. For instance, according to the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF), between January 2021 and May 202...

Greening the earth is arguably one of the biggest trends today. While the literal meaning of ‘green earth’ might hint at reforestation, the concept also includes bringing down the pollution levels. Now, since automobiles are one of the biggest sources of air pollution, a major change is being brought about in their functioning. Their internal combustion engines (ICE), which burn gasoline and diesel, and, therefore, release greenhouse and toxic gases into the atmosphere, are being gradually replaced with electric batteries and motors. To achieve this, governments around the world are implementing stringent emission regulations, which are making conventional automobiles costlier every year, and offering financial support to boost the manufacturing and sales of electric vehicles (EVs). P&S Intelligence expects the electric scooter and motorcycle market size, driven by all these factors, to rise from $5,913.9 million in 2019 to $10,529.7 million by 2025 , at a 14.4% CAGR between 2020 a...

With more than 1.3 million people dying in road accidents each year, as per the World Health Organization (WHO), the focus on making roads safer is strengthening. Since most of the accidents are attributed to human error, many governments are mandating the adoption of some level of vehicle autonomy so that the burden on the driver can be reduced. Such awareness and the increasing inclination of people for improved vehicles are leading to the integration of advanced driver assistant systems (ADAS), which automate many functions of automobiles and display real-time information. As per P&S Intelligence, this will be a key reason behind the growth of the automotive data logger market during 2020–2030, since valuing around $3 billion in 2020. This device is similar to the all-important flight data recorder (FDR) in airplanes, which records what happens to the aircraft systems with every push of the button or foot-operated pedal, shift of the stick, push or pull of the lever, and turn o...

Neem extracts are being increasingly used in the production of bio-pesticides due to their ability to exhibit unparalleled insecticidal effects. As these extracts act as nonneurotoxic pest control agents, they are being preferred over chemical-based bio-herbicides, bio-fungicides, and bio-insecticides. Neem extracts have antifeedant and deterrent effects on many insects, especially the ones belonging to the polyphagous species. Thus, the surging public awareness about the harmful effects of fertilizers and pesticides and the increasing requirement for soil and water preservation, will create a huge demand for neem extracts in India in the foreseeable future. Moreover, the rising shortage of animal feed, on account of the burgeoning demand for animal products, is creating a huge requirement for an alternative feed, such as neem extract-based feed. Neem extract is one of the most ideal plant-based feeds as it helps in facilitating the growth of animals. Additionally, the soaring number o...
