Global Consumer NAS Market 2014-2018 with Apple, Buffalo Technology, LenovoEMC, Netgear, QNAP & Western Digtal Corp Dominating
M2 - Fri Apr 11, 6:07AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/v7bwgb/global_consumer) has announced the addition of the "Global Consumer NAS Market 2014-2018 with Apple, Buffalo Technology, LenovoEMC, Netgear, QNAP & Western Digtal Corp Dominating" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Consumer NAS market will grow at a CAGR of 14.3% over the period 2013-2018. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the sales of consumer NAS products priced below US$500. One of the major trends in the market is the increasing adoption of video surveillance services by end-users because of increasing adoption of home security services. The storage of video requires large storage space and fast data transmission. NAS appliances allow remote access to the stored data; this is a major advantage for the end-users. Further, since many NAS appliances have an in-built feature of automatic data backup, end-users rely heavily on the technology. According to the report, the increasing growth in volumes of personal data produced is the major growth driver. Individual consumers are witnessing a rapid increase in their personal data, especially in volume of unstructured data, leading to an increasing need for storage space. Data sources include data generated from video and audio files, applications, cloud-based data, social network data, and device data. Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is a lack of technical knowledge among end-users. Although NAS appliances have a simple storage mechanism, a considerable amount of user interaction is required to establish efficient storage mechanisms.

Global Digital Map Market 2014-2018 with Apple, AutoNavi, Google, HERE, Micello, NavInfo & TomTom Dominating
M2 - Fri Apr 11, 5:43AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cgs8gr/global_digital) has announced the addition of the "Global Digital Map Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Digital Map market will grow at a CAGR of 9.37% over the period 2013-2018. One of the main drivers in this market is the increasing use of advanced technologies for surveying and making digital maps. In recent years, the Global Digital Map market has been witnessing changes in the use of technology to survey the Earth constants and remote areas to develop maps. Previously, surveying was done by optical and mechanical instruments such as steel meters, levels, and theodolites. The mechanical and optical process of surveying has now been replaced by more advanced surveying techniques and equipment such as motorized total stations and GPS. The Global Digital Map market has witnessed three stages of growth since its inception. The first stage was the introduction of digital maps, the second stage was the increase in coverage of digital maps and updates in a few days or months. The recent growth stage is the adoption of map content on a real-time basis. Most of the traditional map providers such as HERE, TomTom, and AutoNavi provide map updates for a minimum of few days or months. The leading crowdsourcing map providers such as Google and OpenStreetMaps provide maps for a few days only. However, recently, some innovative map providers have been developing real-time map updates based on the crowdsourcing model, in which the map content can be updated by the user on a real-time basis. For instance, if a user updates about a road blockage due to a small construction, then this update can be accessed by many other users. Due to the increasing adoption of real-time digital maps, Google has acquired Weze, one of the leading real-time map API providers. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is the increasing adoption of free crowdsourcing digital maps. This is because of the changing requirements of users and the failure of the leading license map providers to provide updates and innovative digital maps.
