Bone cement supports artificial joints of shoulder, knee, and elbow for more than half century. Bone cement plugs the gap between bone and prosthesis. Orthopedic casting material is made up of plastic, its a shell that encloses limb to stabilize broken bones. The need of the bone cement and cast is due to the requirement of materials that effectively absorb body forces acting on the human hips. Bone casting is helpful in various orthopedic applications, which include hip replacement, wrist joint replacement, and others, for instance, calcium phosphate-based materials are widely used at present. Moreover, bone cements provide stability to the bone during internal fixation surgery. Growing ageing population fuels the growth of the market.

The rehabilitation robotics and hospital & pharmacy robotics segments collectively accounted for around one-third of the market share in 2015, and is projected to maintain dominance throughout the forecast period. The growth of this market was majorly attributed to the shifting trends from wheelchair to robotic rehabilitation therapy, growing focus on hospital infrastructure improvisation, and increasing healthcare expenditure. Likewise, the use of hospital and pharmacy robotics have led to cost-cutting in hospital expenditure and reduction in cases of hospital-acquired infection, which further supplements the adoption of hospital and pharmacy automation robots.

Smart seat belts are referred to the seat belts with modern technology that endeavour to enhance safety feature of an automobile. Currently, smart seat belts are launched that automatically tighten prior to the accident, thereby minimizing the risk of injury. The leading automobile company Mercedes introduced active seat-belt buckle technology for the rear seats. The buckle of the seat comprises electric motor that extends the buckle out from the seat, as the rear door opens. The buckle attached with the belt is lit in case of dim light.

Biopsy Devices Market Report, published by Allied Market Research, forecasts that the global market is expected to garner $2,399 million by 2022, registering a CAGR of 5.5% during the period 2016-2022.

Global Thermal Energy Storage Market was valued at $3,988 million in 2016, and is anticipated to reach $8,862 million, growing at a CAGR of 10.9% from 2017 to 2023. Thermal energy storage systems are particularly utilized to store energy for later use. Thermal energy storage (TES), also known as heat storage, is a simple & highly efficient method of transferring energy, which does not involve chemical conversion. This is among the most feasible eco-friendly energy saving solutions. It holds thermal energy temporarily in the hot or cold form for utilization at a later stage. The thermal energy storage systems reduce carbon dioxide emissions, reduce energy consumption of end consumers, and decrease the demand for energy during peak hours. The effectiveness and economy of the system depend on the type of material used in manufacturing. It is widely used in solar plants, thermal power plants, combined heat & power plants, and process industries including other energy storage applications.

Increase in use of graphite to produce lithium ion battery anodes, specifically in consumer electronics, initiated the use of natural and synthetic graphite especially, as a counterpart to heavy and costly metals. Thus, rise in demand for relatively lighter and inexpensive materials across battery production applications pose lucrative opportunities for significant players in the market.

Glass mat thermoplastic is an easily moldable thermoplastic employed to create multiple components, majorly in the automotive industry. Glass mat thermoplastic exhibits several mechanical properties than injection molded reinforced thermoplastic due to its better residual length of the glass strands. It is majorly deployed as a substitute for steel and aluminum. They are available in the panel form and are also used in 3D structural component form. Moreover, they are light weight material possessing low relative density, excellent hardness and rigidity at relatively low temperatures, and are extremely resistant to chemicals and moisture. These are durable materials with ease of recyclability. Furthermore, the demand for the glass mat thermoplastic material from the automobile and aeration industries leads to the market growth.

Asia-Pacific is dominating the non-honeycomb sandwich panel core materials market, and is expected to continue leading through 2023.

Reinforcement Materials Market Report, published by Allied Market Research, forecast that the global market is expected to garner $22,826 million by 2022 from $13,020 million in 2015, with a CAGR of 8.4% from 2016 to 2022. In terms of revenue, carbon fiber and aramid fiber material are expected to grow ata CAGR of 12.0% and 8.8%, respectively, during the forecast period.

Craniomaxillofacial implants are medical implants used in surgeries of maxillofacial region such as, head, face, neck, oral, and jaw surgeries. Craniomaxillofacial implants may be used to treat any congenital disease, facial deformity, or for aesthetic purposes. These can be either placed permanently or temporarily in the body and can be removed when they are no longer needed.
