Smartphones have quietly become the most valuable personal devices people own today. Beyond communication, they now function as wallets, offices, entertainment hubs, health trackers, and identity vaults. As their role in daily life has expanded, so too has the financial risk associated with damage, loss, or theft. This shift has propelled the mobile phone insurance market from a niche add-on into a rapidly scaling global industry.

According to BIS Research, the global mobile phone insurance market was valued at $41.15 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $126.24 billion by 2035, reflecting the growing need to protect increasingly expensive and indispensable devices.

From Backup Power to the Operating System of the Energy Transition

For decades, electricity grids were designed around a simple assumption: power flows one way, from large centralized plants to passive consumers. That assumption is now breaking down.

Climate volatility, aging infrastructure, electrification of transport, and the explosive rise of AI-driven digital infrastructure are forcing a fundamental rethink of how power is generated, distributed, and governed. In this transition, microgrids are no longer peripheral technologies. They are becoming core infrastructure assets—the control layer of a decentralized, resilient energy system.

The home services industry is huge and diversified, employing millions of workers and thousands of contractors and service providers. The market does feel the effects of recessions, but growth from 2025 to 2030 looks promising as the American housing stock ages.

From routine maintenance to complex renovations, the demand for professional home services is expanding, offering significant opportunities for businesses in this sector.

As the global push toward decarbonisation accelerates, renewable energy is no longer just about installing more solar panels or wind turbines. Behind the scenes, a quieter but powerful market mechanism is enabling this transition at scale — the Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) and Credit Market. Often described as the “currency of clean energy,” RECs play a crucial role in monetising renewable attributes, ensuring transparency, and helping governments and corporations meet ambitious climate goals.

If you ask a progressive farmer how they decide when to irrigate today, the answer is rarely “gut feel” anymore.

It’s more likely: “When my phone tells me the soil moisture has dropped below the threshold.”

Welcome to the age of automated data logging in agriculture – where sensors, cloud platforms, and smart analytics quietly guide everyday decisions in the field.

A Strategic Perspective for Business Leaders and Investors

In the next five years, global industries will undergo a significant technological transformation. The integration of intelligent automation, autonomous decision systems, advanced analytics, and AI-led operating models is redefining competitiveness and value creation. Enterprises are shifting from incremental efficiency gains to intelligence-driven growth, where systems interpret, decide, and act on data.

The global automotive landscape is undergoing its most significant transformation in decades. While full battery-electric vehicles dominate headlines, an equally powerful—but quieter—revolution is underway inside millions of emerging models: the rise of 48-volt (48V) systems. These mid-voltage architectures are becoming the backbone of next-generation mild hybrids, offering higher efficiency, lower emissions, and performance boosts without the cost of full electrification.

Demand for mental health services soared with the pandemic and 61 million Americans (more than one in five adults) now have some form of mental illness, with prevalence among adolescents rising sharply.

The Global Laminated Steel Market was valued at USD 1.64 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% over the forecast period 2025-2034, according to a new report published by Factview Research. Laminated steel is a composite material created by bonding plastic films to cold-rolled steel, delivering enhanced corrosion resistance, noise damping, and surface aesthetics. It is used across various industries, including automotive and transportation, construction and buildings, electrical and electronics, food and beverage packaging, and consumer goods.

The global mining lubricants market was valued at USD 4 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a 3.7% CAGR from 2025 to 2034, according to a new report published by Factview Research. Mining lubricants—including heavy-duty diesel engine oils, gear oils, and industrial greases—are critical for reducing wear, improving operational efficiency, and ensuring equipment reliability across demanding mining applications.
