The demand for EVs is on the rise, which is also contributing considerably to the growth of the lead-acid battery market. The need for EVs, such as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles, is rising because they offer efficient and clean transportation. Moreover, the regulatory norms imposed by the government in order to decrease the global temperature and greenhouse gas emissions are also driving the demand for EVs. Lead-acid batteries are utilized as a power generating source in these vehicles, due to their high energy density and specific energy.

One of the major trends in the lead-acid battery market is the rapid shift from conventional generators to stationary lead-acid battery in the telecom industry. Conventionally, generators were utilized to power telecom towers, however, as they emitted hazardous emissions, they were replaced. Now, the telecom towers make use of electrical energy from the grid for running their machineries. Due to this, the telecom companies are increasingly adopting stationary lead-acid batteries for providing uninterrupted, stable, and reliable power supply to their towers.

Thus, the market is growing significantly because of the growing demand for automobiles and the rising requirement for EVs.

Rising Number of Zoonotic Infections to Take Animal Healthcare Market Forward

Animal healthcare market is expected to reach $42,926.7 million by 2023, according to P&S Intelligence.

The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing consumption of milk and meat, rising adoption of companion animals, and increasing prevalence of food-borne zoonotic diseases.

Insights into the market segments

Based on product, the market is classified into feed additives, vaccines, anti-infectives, anti-inflammatories, parasiticides, and others, wherein “others” include oncological and antiemetic products, drugs for reproductive problems, and sedatives for pain relief. Among these, the category of feed additives held the largest share in the animal healthcare market in 2017. Increasing consumption of animal-derived products and rising feed production are the key factors driving the market growth of this category.

Based on animal type, the animal healthcare market is categorized into farm animals and companion animals. Of these, farm animals held a larger revenue share, of over 55%, in the market in 2017. This can be majorly attributed to the increasing adoption of farm animals to fulfil the demand for animal-based food products across the globe.

According to Animal Matters, a volunteer-run organization promoting animal welfare, approximately 70 billion farm animals are reared for food every year, globally. Further, in the U.S., an estimated 2.2 million sheep and lambs and 1.5 million goats are slaughtered for meat every year.

Based on distribution channel, the market is classified into veterinary hospitals, veterinary clinics, pharmacies and drug stores, and others, wherein “others” include online and retail stores. Of these, veterinary hospitals held the largest share in the global animal healthcare market in 2017. As compared to veterinary clinics, veterinary hospitals provide complete animal healthcare services for animals, including accommodation and nursing care, due to which a large number of pet owners prefer taking their animals to these hospitals.

Increasing prevalence of food-borne zoonotic diseases has raised concerns among farm owners and pet owners over animal healthcare. Brucellosis (a type of bacterial infection), which causes stillbirth or abortion in animals, is increasing especially in the U.S. The bacterial infection generally affects goats and livestock animals, such as cows and sheep. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), about 320,000 cases of food-borne zoonotic diseases are registered every year in the European Union. Thus, players in the animal healthcare market are increasingly focusing on the development of medicines to help prevent the spread of food-borne zoonotic diseases.

Why North America Patient Engagement Solutions Market is Witnessing Growth

Due to growing healthcare expenses, increasing demand for better healthcare infrastructure, surging geriatric population, and more incidents of chronic diseases, the adoption rate of patient engagement solutions is projected to witness significant growth. The North American patient engagement solutions market generated $3.9 billion in 2017 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 15.8% during the forecast period 2018–2023. Patient engagement refers to the process of establishing communication between patients and their healthcare providers online.

With smooth connectivity, the sharing of medical history, doctor appointments, treatment schedule, medication prescriptions, and lab reports has become extremely easy. Patients are more concerned about their personal information and comfort today compared to the past. Nowadays, they demand technologies that can consolidate all their medical information in one place and help them access and share it whenever and from wherever they want. This is why the patient engagement solutions market in North America has been progressing.

The major factors driving the growth of the North American patient engagement solutions market are rising demand for better healthcare infrastructure and increasing spending on healthcare. In addition, the surging geriatric population and growing prevalence of chronic diseases are also contributing in this regard. According to the UN publication “World Population Ageing 2017”, around 78.4 million people in North America in 2017 were 60 years old or older, and the number is estimated to reach 122.8 million by 2050.

There is no doubt that elderly people need extensive care, as they are more prone to chronic diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), around 1,688,780 new cases of cancer were diagnosed in the U.S. in 2017. Similarly, the Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) reported that in 2016, almost 1.1 million people in North America were suffering from AIDS. With an increasing number of elderly or even comparatively young people prone to such chronic diseases, who are demanding patient engagement solutions, the patient engagement solutions market in North America is predicted to advance in the future.

Further, government initiatives toward promoting patient engagement programs are also taking the North America patient engagement solutions market forward. For instance, under the EHR Incentive programs, the U.S. government offers healthcare providers incentives to encourage the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs). Similarly, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act seeks to revolutionize the methods, in which doctors treating Medicare patients (aged 65 or above) are paid. Under this act, doctors are paid based on the level of care they provide rather than the number of patients they treat, and how well they utilize EHRs.

Thus, we see that owing to conducive government policies and increasing incidents of chronic diseases in the elderly, the market is predicted to witness steady progress.
