Dublin, Jan. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Solar Generator Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023" report has been added to *ResearchAndMarkets.com's* offering.

The global solar generator market reached a value of US$ 370 Million in 2017. The market is further projected to reach a value of US$ 525 Million by 2023, registering a CAGR of around 6% during 2018-2023.

Solar generator refers to a solar-based photovoltaic (PV) system which produces electricity from photonic energy of the sunlight. There are two types of solar generators, namely, on-grid and off-grid. They are available in different sizes and capacities based on the consumer's requirement. Solar generators are economical; require minimal cost investments and fuel for operation; generate zero pollution; and can store energy for future purposes. Owing to these factors, they are increasingly being used for the production and distribution of power across the globe.

One of the primary factors driving the market growth is the increasing shortage of electricity across the globe and the consequent demand for power-backup. Catalysed by population growth and increasing urbanisation levels, the demand of power has been showing an increasing trend over the last few decades. Moreover, across many regions, there is currently an imbalance between the supply and demand of power, ultimately leading to a power shortage.

Solar generators are currently playing an important role in reducing this shortage. Further, the market is also being influenced by the rising concerns about climatic change that has created an awareness concerning the usage of renewable resources like solar, hydro and wind power.

Moreover, governments across the globe are encouraging investments in renewable resources by providing tax relaxations and incentives. These investments have reduced the prices of solar generators, thereby facilitating the demand.

*Key Questions Answered in This Report:*· How has the global solar generator market performed so far and how will it perform in the coming years?
· What are the key regions in the global solar generator market?
· Which are the major types of solar generators?
· Who are the major end-users of solar generators?

Dublin, Jan. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Seam Tapes Market by Type (Single-layered, Multi-layered), Backing Material (Polyurethane, Polyvinyl chloride), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, South America) - Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to *ResearchAndMarkets.com's* offering.*Growth of the sports and outdoor apparel industry is expected to drive the overall growth of the seam tapes market*

The seam tapes market is expected to grow from USD 205 million in 2018 to USD 283 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period.The seam tapes market is driven by various factors such as the growing demand from the sports and outdoor apparel industry, the increase in demand for protective clothing and accessories. However, the volatile price of raw materials can pose a challenge to the growth of the market.

The polyurethane segment is the fastest-growing in the seam tapes market, in terms of value. This growth is attributed to the various benefits of polyurethane in seam tapes compared to polyvinyl chloride. These benefits include high abrasion, impact resistance, water resistance, and high flexibility. In addition to this, its wide range of applications including outdoor gear, military gear, sports apparels, footwear, tents, tarpaulins, hazardous material suits, and backpacks have also contributed to its high growth.

The multi-layered segment is expected to dominate the seam tapes market during the forecast period, owing to the wide range of applications of multi-layered seam tapes in sports and outdoor apparels (caps, gloves, ski wear, swimwear, hiking & tracking apparels, raincoats and jackets, and bottom wear), military apparels (jackets, ponchos, fire suits, and flight jackets), medical apparels (gloves and gowns), protective garments, tents, tarpaulins, footwear, backpacks, automotive (seats, head & armrests, and airbags) and chemical protective garments.

Asia Pacific is expected to be the largest market and have the highest growth rate during the forecast period, owing to the presence of huge garment manufacturing hotspots such as China, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh in the Asia Pacific region. Cheap labor cost and availability of domestically produced raw material place Asia Pacific as the preferable region to manufacture textile and apparels.In addition to this, the growing demand for sports and outdoor apparels in China, Japan, and India driven by the growing health awareness as well as an increase in consumer spending on value-added apparels attributable to the rising disposable income is expected to create opportunities for the seam tapes market in the region.*Key Topics Covered:**1 Introduction*

Audi plans to switch on HERE Real-Time Traffic for its drivers. They will be the first to benefit from innovative features such as lane-level traffic conditions on arterial roads - especially useful when journeys include busy left turns and highway exit ramps

Las Vegas, CES 2019 - HERE Technologies today announced that it has been selected by Audi as its traffic data provider for all new models sold across North America and Europe, starting in the first half of 2019.

The multi-year agreement for the HERE Real-Time Traffic service will see HERE provide Audi with traffic data in these two regions for the first time, giving drivers up-to-the-minute information about road conditions and incidents. The agreement also extends to Volkswagen Group sister brands Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini and Porsche.

"This is a landmark win for HERE Technologies and underscores how far we've advanced our traffic service in the last three years," said Peter Kürpick, Chief Platform Officer at HERE Technologies. "Drivers will enjoy innovative features such as lane-level traffic flow and incident data as well as benefit from our sustained investment in quality. All parties competing for this contract were subjected to extensive ground truth testing of their data, and we're delighted to have come out on top. This is fantastic momentum as we further scale our traffic service to enhance driving enjoyment for millions."

Audi models shipping later in 2019 and beyond will benefit from several powerful new features from HERE. These will provide predictive traffic forecasts as well as information about lane closures and traffic flow for specific lanes on arterial roads, including high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes.

Audi plans to enable HERE Real-Time Traffic not only for new models. In North America, all Audi vehicles already on the road and equipped with an active Audi Connect® subscription will benefit from the service. In Europe, selected models already on the road will benefit.

HERE Real-Time Traffic aggregates and analyzes data from a sophisticated mix of sources, including high-quality rich vehicle sensor data from competing automotive brands. The result is best-in-class accuracy in depiction of real-world traffic conditions, and a smarter and safer driving experience.

The well-known automotive MLCC vendors are mainly from Japan, South Korea, Europe & America, and Taiwan (China), of which Japanese companies consist of Murata, TDK, Taiyo Yuden, Kyocera, etc.; South Korean peer refers to Samsung Electro-Mechanics; and Taiwanese counterparts are Yageo and Walsin Technology.

Currently, Murata is the vendor boasting the most market shares worldwide (29%; about 40% in the automotive MLCC market), with the production capacity of 960 billion units/year for the moment. Murata has slashed production of low-end MLCC and related delivery has drawn to an end over the past two years. In 2018, Murata invested $660 million for expanding production of MLCC for medical and automotive use and mass-production is anticipated in 2019.

Samsung Electro-Mechanics has sprung up and has been in the second place worldwide since it outperformed Japan-based TDK in 2009. Impacted by the explosion of Samsung NOTE7, Samsung Electro-Mechanics has tightened control on the quality of products and cut shipments over the recent years, while it planned to invest the additional 10 billion units/month MLCC for cars and 5G products.

TDK canceled product orders involving 700 million MLCCs in 360 models in 2017, and has transferred to focus on medium- and high-end products.

Chinese MLCC vendors has been developing apace over the recent years but are still engaged in supply for consumer electronics. Few companies like Fenghua Advanced Technology have rolled out the products in line with AEC-Q200 criterion. Due to weak strength, Chinese players are still hard to pose a threat to the MLCC giants from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan (China).
