# 6G Use Cases and Scenarios: A Comparison Analysis Between ITU and Other Initiatives
## 10 Vertical Market Sectors  
Another main goal of the analysis carried out in this paper is to evidence if and how the 6G use cases proposed by ITU and by the other initiatives can impact the most important vertical market sectors. Different consulting companies and stakeholders in the TLC sector have published different market analyses based on their needs and visions. According to the authors, APTIC is among the most complete and includes most of the content published by the main players in the telecommunications sector. We started from the list published by APTIC and tried to extract our list, WHICH includes most of the vertical market sectors, not only those in the telecommunications market. In selecting the vertical market sectors of interest, we have started from the exhaustive list of vertical market sectors provided by APTIC Consulting [26], which has been summarized in Table 7.  
Starting from the list in Table 7, we have selected sixteen vertical market sectors in Table 8 that are of interest for the telecommunications sector and 6G. The acronyms will be used in the following to identify the single vertical market sectors that have been indicated in the same table. Factories of the future refer to industries characterized by a high level of automation, even based on the wide usage of intelligent devices. The energy indicates the energy sector concerning electric and power efficiency. We have decided to divide the huge e-health vertical market sectors into two parts, indicated for brevity as eHealth1 and eHealth2. The first refers to remote monitoring (temperature, acquisition of pulse and respiration rate, etc.) and tele-assistance services. The second one concerns more demanding e-health applications such as tele-surgery. The technologies and applications/services involved in the two markets can be very different. The automotive sector considers vehicles, including \begin{table}

The agriculture sector instead considers all the digital technologies supporting farming processes. The logistics sector considers the application of communication technologies in all the procedures for the shipping and picking of goods.
