Waterproofing chemicals are a specific set of products that protect the structural integrity of buildings from water penetration. Excess water penetration in buildings can shorten their life span, thus leading to electrical, metal and health hazards. Waterproofing chemicals increase the shelf life of concretes and offer durability to infrastructures when applied to the exterior of a foundation system. These functions lower the maintenance cost of buildings. Rise in construction cost and raw material are the driving factors for the waterproofing industry.

The growing beauty products market has been increasing the demand for value-enriched cosmetics. The market is flooded with various cosmetic chemicals. Cosmetic chemicals are the basic ingredients found in cosmetic products including soap, shampoo, lipstick, mascara, deodorants and other beauty products (excluding the products listed under therapeutic goods). At present, various cosmetic business enterprises use more than 5000 different chemical compositions to offer selected cosmetic products. Based on its end use applications, cosmetic chemical have been further divided into surfactants, emollients, conditioning polymers, and UV absorbers. These chemical-based products contain preservatives which hinder microbial growth and thereby offer longer shell life to the cosmetics. In addition, these chemicals contain a variety of vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, herbs, hormones, and fragrances. This vast range of cosmetic chemicals allows business cosmetics to deliver different types of cosmetics in the market, thereby offering a vibrant market to cosmetic industries.

Veterinary vaccines help in improving animal health, increase production of livestock in a cost effective manner and prevent transmission of diseases among animals. The veterinary vaccines market has witnessed double digit growth over the past few years, due to fear of impending pandemics that have led to heavy losses particularly in poultry. The global veterinary vaccines market is driven by factors such as the vulnerability of animals to fatal and chronic diseases, and rapidly changing patterns of diseases among animals. Veterinary vaccines have also reduced the amount of drug treatments to control established diseases and, in many instances, have prevented long term suffering and death. The global veterinary vaccines market has undergone considerable progress during the past few years with the increasing use of continuous cell lines as a substrate and adoption of the fermentor technology for antigen production. These vaccines are produced for administration by parenteral or oral routes depending on the vaccine characteristics.

The portable medical devices market encompasses all healthcare associated diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices that are miniature in nature and can be easily transported from one location to another without any inconveniences. The market for portable devices has evolved greatly over the years particularly due to miniaturization of electronic components. Low power consumption technology has also greatly helped in developing portable technologies. As the world has begun shrinking due to increased connectivity, telemedicine, home-care and remote monitoring have become familiar terms with modern healthcare. Several factors led to the increasing need for portable devices, of which the major impact factors include increasing demand for diagnostics in remote areas of the world where a significant population continues to reside, increasing number of emergency medical services such as ambulances and helicopters that are required to be well equipped, military medicine for on-field applications and aging population that has begun to feel the pressure of moving to and fro from hospitals for simple diagnostic procedures. In a field like healthcare, the upcoming markets such as wearable medical devices and smart wearable sensors have culminated in the large revenue generation since the past several years which is expected to continue in the coming years as well.

The formation of amino acids or proteins within the cells of living organisms that takes place after gene expression is referred as protein expression. Gene expression utilizes DNA template for mRNA formation during transcription, which is thereafter utilized as a template for protein polypeptide formation of amino acids during the translation process. Protein expression is a vital process in which numerous important types of proteins are synthesized and modified, where recombinant proteins can also be synthesized. These synthesized, modified and recombinant protein types find a wide range of commercial applications.

Green polyols and bio polyols are eco-friendly alcohol solutions containing multiple hydroxyl groups. Green polyol is derived from recycled polyethylene terepthalate (PET) and polyurethanes, while bio polyol is extracted from different vegetable oils such as canola, castor and corn. Polyether polyols and polyester polyols are the two primary types of green polyols and bio poyols which are commonly used. These products are used in series of applications such as adhesives, sealants, coatings, and polyurethane foams (flexible & rigid). Different end-user consumers of these polyols include packaging, construction, transportation, furniture and carpet among others.

Chromatography resins are used in purification and separation of proteins and other bio-molecules in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food manufacturing, and environmental analysis. Chromatography resins are of three types, viz., synthetic, natural and inorganic media. Natural and synthetic resins are preferred over inorganic media. Chromatography resins are used in affinity, mixed-mode, ion-exchange, hydrophobic interaction and size exclusion techniques. In terms of revenues, Protein A resins accounted for the highest share of the market.

Cheese is an old dairy delicacy prepared from the milk of goat, cow, and sheep containing high amount of minerals, protein, vitamins and calcium in it. Over the years, consumption of cheese has increased rapidly leading to the art of cheese making into a profitable business. The global cheese production is strong and the pace for exports is even stronger in the market.

Antibodies and Proteins developed with new and advantageous functions and properties are known as engineering of protein and antibody. Protein engineering in specific can be defined as a process of developing valuable proteins and modification of antibodies to increase similarity or specificity is called as antibody engineering.

Growing urbanization is setting construction industry at pace, thereby giving rise to raw material industry such as construction chemicals market. In general construction chemical is one of the chemical compounds in specialty chemicals segment of the chemical industry. Construction chemicals are widely used in construction of residential, non- residential as well as non-buildinginfrastructural activities such as roads, highways and expressways. With the diverse set of applications across the construction industry, the construction chemical become an imperative material in today's infrastructural environment. The main use of construction chemical is to strengthen the structure with enhanced durability. The manufacturers of construction chemicals might pose a 3% to 4% rise in current prices due to change in raw material prices and increased demand of new construction chemicals. However, as quality is prime concern for construction industry, the use of construction chemicals offering is long lasting and has crucial benefits with assured quality, the demand is expected to be unaffected of price rise. For instance Middle East is a remarkable region in the construction chemicals industry as it possesses the world's finest and most famous constructions.
