Polyhydroxyalkonates (PHA) are biodegradable plastics that are synthesized by microbial fermentation of glucose or sugar. PHA has been used in the fixation and orthopedic applications, tissue engineering, production of bioplastic, food services, in packaging, pharmaceutical industry and agriculture. Innovative properties of PHA can bring additional value to the applications in which they are used. It is expected that advancement in the industrialization process of PHA would drive the cost of PHA and make it an alternative for conventional plastic.

Logistics is basically an entire channel which deals with procurement, planning and implementation of different activities in the overall supply chain of an organization. The chemical industry utilizes logistics in order to manage the way resources are stored, planned and as well as acquired to different end-users.

Fuel cells are used for converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The conversion takes place via electromechanical reactions, for example battery. However, the fuel is mainly supplied from the outside; thus making these cells feel as if the engine is converting fuel electricity without actually burning it. The adoption rate of fuel cells has increased owing to the rising need for clean energy. Furthermore, the dramatic shift and focus towards generation of renewable energy coupled by government initiatives has kept the future of the market robust.

Absorption chillers are refrigerators which deploy a heat source to generate enough energy required to drive the cooling process and are used mainly in food storage and air conditioning. Generally, absorption chillers use waste heat from turbine or water heater to generate energy. These chillers use a refrigerant with low boiling points such as ammonia and lithium bromide. There are three phases of the chilling cycle namely evaporation, absorption and regeneration. Absorption chillers are used in domestic, commercial as well as industrial sector. Absorption chillers drive the cooling process using several amount of energy sources such as gas, water or electricity. Owing to the low operational costs, absorption chillers are popularly used in educational institutions, hotels, hospitals, food trucks etc.

Golf cart is a type of low speed vehicle driven by electric motors, which is gas-powered or is specifically envisioned for the utilization in golf courses for transportation of golfers and the equipment within the course premises. It is also known as non-highway or off-road vehicle with the average speed between 25-50 kmph.

The Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) segment would maintain its lead in the market throughout the analysis period, primarily because of the increasing number of patients with faster-than-normal rhythm as the mean age of the global population is shifting towards older age groups. Ventricular assist devices (VADs) has emerged as the fastest growing segment, with a CAGR of 11.9%. Increasing focus on the development of advanced VDAs and miniaturization of VADs are the major factors responsible for the growth of this market

Drilling and completion fluids are used mainly in drilling tasks and to perform several activities. Often, referred as drilling mud the drilling fluid is actually a composite fluid. The fluid mixture contains clay, chemical and water. Oil is also used instead of water to get desirable properties. Besides using these fluids to reduce the friction end customers use drilling fluids to control formation pressure. They are mainly used to minimize formation damage as well as transport and move solids.

Compressor oils are specially formulated fluids that provide lubrication to the moving metal parts of the air compressor. The type of oil to be used depends upon the demand of the compressor and the gas to be compressed. Compressor oils avail various applications like performance improvement, protective surface film to decrease friction, serves as a sealing fluid, minimizes the deposition of harmful compounds, absorb the heat of compression as direct contact coolant, and others. The use of compressor oils provide different advantages such as high film strength, reduces energy consumption, longer oil life, corrosion resistance, synthetic solvency, and others.
