Potting is something that gardeners and plant growers need to do periodically for plant nutrition. Soil is an essential part of potting and thus, for healthy root development in plants, it is important to add good soil. Different mixes and additives are added to soil to enrich soil quality. Some potting mix additives often contain amendments including fertilizers and unique moisture-retaining crystals with high nutrients, through which plants feed. Over time, these nutrients can be drained by plants from the soil. By adding a few mix additives, the used soil can be reused for potting. For example, adding perlite to the soil helps lighten the ground and delivers drainage. It can also help in increasing nitrogen levels in the soil by adding fertilizer with compost. Potting mix additives are developed to stay soft and not to compress too much in the containers. Particular potting mix additive mixtures are available for orchids, succulents, roses, and others. Perlite and vermiculite are common ingredients in potting mix additives, which are added to create an airier and less dense environment.

An oil free compressor is a positive displacement compressor and is similar to other compressors. It functions like other compressors and may also appear to be same from the outside. However, internally, it is designed in such a way that the oil is kept away from the compressed air. However, the moving parts require lubrication for proper functioning and to reduce the friction. The term oil free compressor refers to the air that is produced by the compressor and not the machine itself. High quality compressed air is used in a wide variety of applications in many end use industries, such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage and electronics industries, where the air is in direct contact with goods. The air required in these industries should be of good quality and should also be constant to maintain proper hygiene. Therefore, with the growth of these end-use industries, the demand for oil free compressors is also going to be grow during the forecast period.

Piezoelectric actuators are electromechanical motors that convert electrical energy into mechanical stress or displacement using the piezoelectric effect. Piezoelectric actuators are known for their precise movement control and hence, are highly used for finely adjusting mirrors, lenses, machining tools and in other equipment. A piezoelectric actuator is also used to control hydraulic valves. It is used as a special purpose motor or small volume pump as well as in other applications that require force or movement. The global piezoelectric actuators market is anticipated to register significant growth over the forecast period, mainly due to the several benefits offered by the piezoelectric actuators, such as cost-effectiveness and reliability. Piezoelectric actuators, with technological innovations, have progressively entered the market and are projected to witness significant growth in the future. Although, piezoelectric actuators do face some challenges. For instance, high voltage is required for the proper functioning of piezoelectric actuators and the distance that an actuator can move is relatively small. Hence, for small movements, piezoelectric actuators require higher voltage, which leads to increase in overall cost of the operation.

Conventionally, plunge saws consisted of a motor, blade guard, blades and a base to adjust the depth required to make the cut. The drawbacks associated with circulars saws led to the development of plunge saws. A track saw or a plunge saw is a power tool, very similar to a circular saw designed to make straight cuts and more often than not used in conjunction with a guide or track. A plunge saw has a different design which removes the need for a conventional rectangular blade guard, as the blade is enclosed within the machine. The saw has a flat and smooth side that can be used as a guide against a wall or the floor. Moreover, the most important aspect of a plunge saw is its ability to run along a rail or a track. Furthermore, these saws can choose to use 'rail clamps' for extra stability.

Continuous collaborations and jointly developed solutions that work well for the entire supply chain of the textile industry are estimated to contribute significantly to the gradual comeback of the global economy. However, factors, such as fluctuations in oil prices, political instability and global crisis, may a pose threat to the textile industry around the globe. Therefore, the Make in India policy, shifting production facilities to ASEAN countries and revival of the America market are some of the factors which might further drive the global textile industry as well as impact the growth of the textile mill electric drives market during the forecast period.

Industrial air preheaters are heat exchangers predominantly used in steam boilers to absorb heat from the flue gases of the boiler, and transfer it to the combustion/incoming cold air before it enters the furnace. These are used when the exhaust temperatures of gases coming from combustion systems are high. By preheating the combustion air with the hot flue gases, a considerable increase in efficiency of the boiler and power plant can be obtained. Thus, industrial air preheaters are an essential component of a boiler system. The type of industrial air preheater completely dominating the market is the regenerative type industrial preheater, owing to its high efficiency and results in reduced space requirements with an optimum price. Besides, the regenerative type of industrial preheaters offer ease of replacement of elements and weigh considerably lower than recuperative industrial air preheaters. In order to gage the trend and growth analysis of the global industrial air preheater market; this study offers a complete analysis.

Uncollected machining oil mist and coolant can be hazardous to health. Oil mist can cause slippery floors and collect on machines, ceilings, walls, and surroundings, thus creating an unpleasant working environment. An oil mist collector is inevitably a very useful attachment which eliminates dust, smoke, etc., generated by a variety of machining applications such as brazing, casting, screw machining, drilling/boring, grinding, milling, and hobbing. Oil mist collectors are the best alternatives to centrifugal collectors, by eliminating the inherent problems of noise, low separation efficiency, and strong vibration. Additionally, oil mist collectors come in various designs, depending upon the application, ranging from small-scale to large-scale. Also, oil mist collectors handle numerous types of oil mist, including mineral oil, water-soluble oil, synthetic coolants, and straight oil. The competence of an oil mist collector depends upon the efficiency of various components, which include filters, gauges, drive fans, sump boxes, dampers, etc. Globally, industrialized nations such as Germany, Japan, the U.K., China, the U.S., etc., clearly outpace developing countries in terms of market share in the oil mist collector market. However, a strong demand for oil mist collectors is foreseen in developing countries.

Tires that are repaired and retreaded with the help of suitable tread compounds to receive suitable mileage are known as retread tires. Tires gradually wear down due to road travel. The part of tire which wears down is known as tire tread. However, the casing of the tire does not get affected to a great extent while travelling on roads. The tread of the tire can be replaced and this replacement allows the vehicle to run with full potential. This provides economic advantage to the vehicle's owner and also ensures that the tires are not discarded impulsively. As a matter of fact, significant cost reduction can be attained using retread tires as the cost of a remolded tire is 30%-50% lower than that of a new tire. The retread tire market is anticipated to witness significant transitions in terms of demand. The global retread tire market is anticipated to witness increasing investments from tire manufacturers. On the other hand, fluctuations in raw material prices may act as a hampering factor and cause fluctuating market growth. Since, oil is a key raw material used for tire retreading, any fluctuations in oil prices are capable of causing fluctuations in retread tire market growth.

Air brakes are a type of brake system which use compressed air to stop vehicles. Air brakes are predominantly used for stopping large and heavy vehicles. Air brakes can be used as three different braking systems: service brakes, parking brakes and emergency brakes. Moreover, air brake systems consist of many components, such as air compressor, air compressor governor, air storage tanks, air tank drains, safety valve and the brake pedal. Furthermore, most of the heavy-duty vehicles use the dual air brake systems for safety. A dual air brake system has two separate air brake systems and uses a single set of brake controls. Air brakes can either be a disc or drum, which can be coupled with the ABS (anti-lock braking system) technology to improve the efficiency of the braking system. Usually, air brakes are used in place of conventional hydraulic systems in areas where there is requirement for high mechanical braking force over long distances and simplified connections and components. There are braking systems available in the market space which incorporate both air as well as hydraulic systems for improved braking performance. Furthermore, manufacturers of air brakes are constantly focusing on downsizing air brake systems alongside improving their performance characterizes, this is expected to open new horizons for the augmentation of the air brake market in the coming years.
