A flexible electronic device can be easily folded or twisted without getting damaged. Flexible electronics market deals with the advanced form of electronic devices. These devices have a broad application in various sectors, such as the military & defence, consumer electronics, healthcare & medical and energy & power generation.

Medical electronics is a branch of electronics that deals with design, implementation and use of electrical devices and equipment for medical purposes such as research, examination, diagnosis, treatment, assistance and care. Medical electronics utilizes field disciplines of both electronics and biomedical.Portable biomedical electronic devices are essential to movemedical products from the hospital atmosphere to home, and to move medical examination from the laboratoryand offer one-touch access to users. These devices offer secure access and enable both patients and doctors to stay in touch with each other remotely.

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 theirlife 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.

Products in the wearable electronics market comprise electronic devices thatcan be worn by a user. Wearable electronic devices integrates computing and communication and enablesthe user to perform certain tasks with ease. The wearable electronics market is expected to grow ata strong double-digit growth rate over thenext five years (2015–2020). The strong market growth is attributedtovarious factors such as innovativeproduct development in wrist wear, neck wear and footwear, improvement in display qualities, need for faster work operations, and government focus on developments. On the other hand, there are various factors affecting growth of the Wearable Electronics market in a negative way such as high price of wearable electronics, limited battery life etc.Growing demand for improved, fast and accurate accessibility to information are factors contributing to the expected double-digit growth rate of the wearable electronics market over the next five years Wearable electronics are user-friendly devices.

The mining industry is expected to witness growth with a single digit CAGR over the next six years on account of the further expanding demand for metal and mineral commodities. Latin America accounted for about 8% of the global mining equipment demand in 2013 and its contribution towards global mining equipment sales was registered at 15% for the same year. The region serves as the prime destination for mining exploration and investment at a global level.

A gas leak detector is a piece of equipment or a device that senses and detects the existence of gases in a particular area. These devices are used as a part of safety systems installed in factories, homes and commercial complexes. A gas leak detector system detects the gas leaked and generates a signal to take proper action. Industrially, gas detector systems are fitted with a sound alarm to evacuate the area in case of toxic gas leakage. The popularity of such devices is growing due to the influx of new chemical facilities across the world. Further, the growing gas storage facility network across the globe has deployed a significant number of gas leak detectors for safety systems.

Wireless charging is the process of recharging batteries of electrical devices without using physically connected electric cables. The communication between transmitter (power source) and receiver (device) is generally by microwave or electromagnetic induction. With the emergence of wireless chargeable devices, the need to carry multiple chargers for various devices will become obsolete. Chargeable devices such as mobile phones, and tablets need to be handier. Wireless charging technologies are revolutionizing the current electronic devices market to meet the demand for more efficient, standardized,safe and portable power recharging options.

Fuel cells convert electrical energy sourced from chemical energy, through an electromechanical reaction with oxygen or other oxidizing agents. Primarily, a fuel cell functions as a battery, but is different in the way that in a fuel cell, fuel is supplied from an external source and fuel is converted to electricity without any involvement of a burning process. The demand for alternative energy sources is growing at a global level, which in turn propels the development of associated products. The first commercial application of fuel cells happened with NASA's space programs. Fuel cells were used for application in probes, satellites and space capsules. Generally, fuel cells utilize oxygen and hydrogen during the electrochemical reaction process and generate electricity, heat and water. These cells are used where continuous flow of electricity is required. The cells provide continuous flow of electricity as long as source fuel is supplied. As fuel cells are carbon-free due to their non-burning nature, environmental norms support the development of this market.

Wireless power transmission (WPT) or wireless power transfer refers to the transfer of energy or power from one place to another without being connecting through wires. In this, electromagnetic energy is transferred from power sources to electric loads.

Future Market Insights (FMI), in its latestreport titled, "Global Bio-plastics Market Analysis and Opportunity Assessment, 2014–2020",estimates that the global bio-plasticsmarket is expected to account for $43.8Bn by 2020, registering a CAGR of 28.8% during the forecast period. A growing beverage packaging industry,government support for adopting bio-based materials, and rising consumer acceptance for bio-plasticsare expected tocontribute to the growth of the global bio-plastic market over the forecast period.
