Metagenomics (also referred to as community and environmental genomics), is the genomic study of microorganisms where the DNA of the microorganism is extracted directly and cloned from an assembly of the microorganism.Factors such as the development of inexpensive next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, high throughput screening (HTS) methods, use of advanced bioinformatics tools such as genome assemblers & gene predictors, and recovery of many novel drugs, antibiotics, & enzymes or isoenzymes drive the market growth. However, limited accessibility of enzyme activity assay and the narrow choice of host in transformation acts as a constraint in the growth of the metagenomics market. In addition, R&D to identify new enzymes and antibiotics, and improved bioinformatics offer attractive opportunities for the key market players.

Although narcolepsy is a rare and under-diagnosed chronic condition, there are many people affected by the disease. It was estimated that more than 1 in 2,000 people in the U.S. were affected by narcolepsy in 2012. The severity of the disease and rise in the number of people being affected by narcolepsy are some of the driving factors for the market growth. Furthermore, the availability of reimbursement for FDA-approved prescription medicines will help increase the demand for these drugs. However, lack of awareness regarding the diagnosis and treatment availability will hinder the market growth. An increase in the number of programs by various organizations to increase awareness will help open new avenues for the market growth.

Medical cabinets & utensils are essential parts of the healthcare infrastructure, as they are required for innumerable purposes. Cabinets are utilized to store different kinds of medical supplies, small devices, and personal belongings of patients & healthcare providers.

The major driving factors for the market growth are an increase in geriatric population, which has led to a rise in the prevalence of cases with knee disorders and bone disorders that can cause disabilities in mobility. In addition, increase in the prevalence of people with a disability, technological advancements in the healthcare sector worldwide, rise in the number of people being hospitalized, and high adoption of these devices will help increase the demand for mobility aids and transportation equipment.

Lutein & zeaxanthin are powerful antioxidants found in vegetable, and play important role to maintain healthy vision in animals. Both antioxidants are derived from plant sources and are employed by animals for absorption of blue light. Age-related eye diseases can be delayed by adding these two nutrients in daily consumption.

The rise in the number of people suffering from musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis is a major factor that contributes towards the growth of metaxalone market. Moreover, there is an increase in the number of injuries sustained during accidents, which can led to muscle or joint pain. However, the side-effects caused by the use of metaxalone such as vomiting, headache, nausea, and irritability hamper the market growth. In addition, administration of metaxalone along with some central nervous system depressant can cause central nervous system depression in the patient.

Bifidobacterium longum is a species of small pathogenic bacteria, which naturally occurs in gastrointestinal tracts of human and other animals. The bacterium is added to different types of foods, beverages, and dietary supplements as a probiotic, as it provides many health benefits such as improved digestion and bowel movements.

The growth of the market is driven by factors such as increase in incidents of accidents occurring across globe that lead to disability, rise in prevalence of lifelong disabilities, and technology advancements in the area of medical crutches. However, problems associated with the design of crutches restrict the growth of the market.

High demand in textile industry and cost-advantage against hydrogen peroxide for mechanical pulps and recycled fibers drive the growth of the sodium hyrdosulfite market. However, the declining pulp & paper market is hampering the demand for sodium hydrosulfite, which restrains the market growth. The food and cosmetic applications of sodium hrdyosulfite are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the market.

Rise in prevalence of atrial fibrillation in geriatric population and technological advancements drive the global LAA closure device market. Furthermore, surge in government initiatives to raise public awareness related to cardiovascular diseases boosts the market growth. However, stringent government regulations towards LAA closure systems impede this growth.
