The precision medicine paradigm has found its early roots in genetic profiling, as genomics have proven their potential in helping clinicians decide on the right treatment for the right patient at the right time. Not far behind is medical imaging, which is rapidly developing its own, image-based approaches to tailoring decisions and care pathways to individual patients. Indeed, as one of only four ways to phenotype a patient, – together with clinical history through physical examination, lab testing, and pathology – diagnostic imaging provides a fundamental source of information for personalized medicine

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission regulations are strengthening in North America, Europe, and Asia (i.e., China). Moreover, the intensifying public concern over climate is propelling the automotive industry to reduce its carbon footprint. In fact, 16 urban areas have been declared low-emission zones in Europe, restricting the entry of high-polluting vehicles. With air quality in Chinese cities (including its capital Beijing) at notoriously poor levels, the government is moving swiftly to transition to alternative fuels across industries. In the United States, California Air Resource Board (CARB) is pushing for ultra-low-NOx regulations. In the aftermath of the 2015 “dieselgate” scandal, European courts are expected to direct stringent Nox and particulate matter (PM) norms. Considering crude oil price fluctuations and the prospect of penalties for diesel trucks on account of carbon footprint—especially by companies with CSR targets for their supply chain and the fact that electric vehicles (EVs) have lower maintenance costs—fleets are becoming keen on shifting to EVs. Because battery prices dropped nearly 80% during the 2010 to 2017 period, EVs have become the favorite alternative powertrain for automakers, both incumbents and start-ups.

Battery management systems (BMS) are critical to ensure the safe and reliable operation of batteries, especially in advanced applications. The BMS market mirrors the growth of the battery market, and it is expected to grow steadily throughout the forecast period due to the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (xEVs), rising popularity of battery energy storage (BES) solutions, and extensive use of advanced battery technology in other applications. BMS for automotive application is a high-growth application and a major market driver. Additionally, the increasing focus on stationary BES for renewable integration and grid stabilization, along with the utilization in telecommunication backup applications, will sustain the growth of the market.
