How is Surging Population Driving Demand for Seed Treatment?

It is a known fact that the population across the globe is increasing at a rapid pace, owing to which, the need for resources, including food products, is rising as well. In addition to this, the world is swiftly shifting towards urbanization, which means that the arable lands all over are decreasing. While the agricultural sector will never be moot, it has become necessary to increase the productivity in the sector for catering to the need of the growing population. Furthermore, since a lesser amount of land is now available for farming, the need for using new technologies for ensuring higher efficiency in the available space is growing as well. 

Because of all these factors, the adoption of seed treatments, which are the physical, chemical, and biological agents and techniques used for seed to offer protection and to enhance the establishment of healthy crops, is growing across farmlands. Since protection of plants from diseases and pests is one of the key factors for making sure that production is optimized, farmers are now using advanced ways, such as seed treatment, to increase productivity. Owing to these factors, the global seed treatment market is predicted to grow at a considerable pace in the years to come.

Diseases of seed have a negative impact on germination and can result in reduction in the yield, thereby leading to huge losses to farmers. Due to this, farmers are widely making use of seed treatment for protecting their crops. The different application methods of seed treatment are pelleting, coating, and dressing, out of which, the use of dressing application method is projected to be considerably high in the years to come. This is due to the substantially low cost of this application method. Seeds are treated with wet-treated with slurry or liquid formulation or dressed with dry formulation under this process, in an earthen pot. 

After this, the seeds are spread on a polyethylene sheet to sprinkle chemicals. Considering the geographical scenario, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to emerge as a major seed treatment market in the near future, which is primarily attributed to various agriculture-based economies in the region. These countries include China, India, and other Southeast Asian countries, Moreover, the need for increasing productivity on agricultural fields in the region is high due to the surging population. 

Hence, the need for increasing productivity and efficiency on agricultural fields is resulting in the growth of the market.

How Do Artificial Lift Systems Increase Oil Production?

 A large volume of oil is obtained from fields that are over 30 years old. As the oil fields mature, the reservoir pressure inside declines. Because of this, exploration & production (E&P) companies are installing artificial lifts in these fields to enhance the recovery of oil and gas and optimize their revenue. That is why mature oil and gas fields are deploying the largest number of artificial lift systems. Additionally, the increasing usage of these systems for producing oil and gas from unconventional sources will increase the size of the artificial lift market from $8,010.8 million in 2017 to $10,883.1 million by 2023, displaying a CAGR of 5.3% during 2018–2023.

To learn more about this report: https://bit.ly/3o0M4ph

Artificial lift systems are deployed in onshore as well as offshore oil wells. These systems are majorly installed in onshore oil wells due to the presence of a large number of mature wells on land. These lift systems operate via gas-assisted and pump-assisted mechanisms. In the coming years, more oil fields will deploy pump-assisted artificial lift systems in comparison to gas-assisted systems because of the formers’ ability to increase the bottom-hole pressure of the tubing string. On account of this reason, pump-assisted systems can lift higher volumes of fluids to the surface.

To meet the growing demand for such systems, players in the artificial lift market are focusing on expanding their geographical presence and launching new products. For example, Weatherford International PLC introduced new software in February 2018 for the ForeSite platform. This platform maximizes the support for reciprocating rod-lift systems, by adding support for ESP and gas-lift systems. Some of the other industry players taking such initiatives are National Oilwell Varco Inc., Baker Hughes Co., Borets International Limited, Flotek Industries Inc., Halliburton Company, Dover Corporation, and Schlumberger N.V.

The increasing demand for fuels has boosted the E&P activities in mature oil and gas fields, which, in turn, has increased the adoption of artificial lift systems.

Minimally Invasive Surgical Instruments Market Set for Prosperity in Future

The preference for minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) is increasing, owing to the fact that these surgeries are more accurate and are video assisted. These surgeries involve less scarring and smaller incisions, thereby retaining the original structure of organs without deforming their cellular layers. In addition to this, carbon dioxide is utilized in minimally invasive surgeries for enlarging the abdominal cavity, which aids in reducing blood loss during recovery. 


As per a report by P&S Intelligence, in 2016, the global minimally invasive surgical instruments market reached a value of $28.7 billion and is predicted to advance at a 9.3% CAGR during the forecast period (2017–2023). The different products used for minimally invasive surgeries are guiding devices, electrosurgical instruments, handheld instruments, and inflation systems. The largest demand was created for handheld instruments in 2016, which are further predicted to be the most in demand during the forecast period as well, majorly due to the rising adoption of these instruments for different minimally invasive surgeries. Types of handheld devices are visualizing scopes, retractors, forceps & spatulas, sutures, cutter instruments, auxiliary instruments, dilators, and graspers.   

A key driving factor of the minimally invasive surgical instruments market is the increasing incidence of chronic diseases, such as arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and cancer. As per the American Heart Association, 2016 estimates, about 17.3 million deaths occur every year because of cardiovascular diseases and the number is further projected to rise over 23.6 million by 2030. The treatment of cardiovascular diseases and other chronic diseases often need surgical intervention, which is resulting in rising requirement for MIS instruments. 

Among all the regions, North America created the largest demand or minimally invasive instruments in 2016, and the region is further projected to use these instruments the most during the forecast period as well. This is ascribed to the presence of developed healthcare systems, increasing adoption of technologically advanced devices, and rising prevalence of diseases. The fastest growth in demand for MIS instruments is projected to be registered by the Asia-Pacific region in the coming years, owing to the increasing per capita income, rising healthcare expenditure, enhanced healthcare infrastructure, and surging demand for healthcare services due to large patient base.
