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.

Food preservatives are ingredients added to food to prevent decomposition by reducing microbial growth. Preservatives in food help maintain its freshness and shelf life. Food preservatives are classified into two categories, viz. Class 1 preservatives or natural preservatives and Class 2 preservatives or chemical preservatives. Natural preservatives include salt, vinegar, spices, honey and syrup. Chemical preservatives include sorbates, nitrates of potassium, glycerides and benzoates. Both natural and chemical preservatives are divided into three types - antimicrobials, antioxidants and anti-enzymatic preservatives.

Food grade lubricants refer to lubricants that are used to maintain the food processing machinery, i.e. it protects the tools and machines from wear and tear. However, since many of them come into direct contact with food, these lubricants used in these machineries need to be different from the usual machine lubricants. In other words, they should not render the food unfit for consumption. With recent advances in the food processing industry, there is now much variety in the machinery used to process each food/beverage category. With growing concern over the food we eat, food processors need to comply with various regulatory frameworks like the Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points (HACCP). The standards vary from country to country. However, these are internationally accepted standards which are followed by food grade lubricant manufacturers. For instance, the non-profit public health and safety company, NSF International, along with USDA, has set standards for various food grade lubricants.

Antimicrobial additives can be defined based on their production, use, benefits, function and regulation. An antimicrobial additive is a chemical compound primarily used in the form of coatings, paints and mixed with plastic. Both oil-based and water-based additives are available in various forms for end-user industries. From the commercial prospective, an antimicrobial additive is used to reduce or inhibit the growth of microorganisms in any surface or in the atmosphere (as sprays) to maintain hygiene and increase life of products. It protects various plastic products, packaging materials, buildings through coatings, hospitals and other places from decay. Some limitations of antimicrobial additives are that they are less active in fatty foods and work best in low fat food with PH less than 6. They give best results when combined with other microbial. In recent times, the market for antimicrobial agents have grown tremendously due to their numerous applications. The market is projected to grow at a healthy double-digit CAGR from 2014–2020.

Technical textiles are used for non- aesthetic purposes and are high performance textile products known for their specialty functions. Technical textiles are different from conventional textiles which are used for decorative purposes. Technical textiles excel in their performance and are woven or non-woven from synthetic and natural fibers. The global technical textiles market is expanding with the ever increasing end use applications of technical textile products in diverse fields of agriculture, automobile, healthcare, transportation, construction as it is been seen as a product beyond clothing application.

Specialty fuel additives are chemical formulations which when added to fuel, enhance desirable properties of the fuel or suppress the undesirable properties of the fuel. An additive may be used unaided or may be combined with other additives to impart desired characteristics to the fuel. The additives are generally added for a multitude of functions such as to improve the power output, reduce the consumption of fuel, improve the efficiency and reduce the emissions on combustion, prevent corrosive effects etc.

Increasing demand for fuel efficient vehicles, increasing efforts for mitigation of carbon emissions and rising cost of fuels, are pushing the Automakers to seek for development of energy efficient systems. This changing dynamics has significantly led to developments in regenerative braking systems market. Nowadays, energy recovery systems in vehicles are increasingly getting employed in passenger as well as commercial vehicles to improve fuel economy and reduce vehicular emissions.As a result for the need of better fuel-economy the regenerative braking systems market has evolved, which is gaining a significant growth in global automotive industry because of energy saving application.

The importance of material handling equipment is growing exponential among industries such as aerospace, agriculture, automotive, etc., as managing the manufacturing plant or warehouse has become an essential operation to look for. Material handling involves, managing the storage and movement of good & products in the warehouse or manufacturing plant. Material handling increases the productivity by improving the logistics in the manufacturing plant.
