Vacuum pumps are widely used in such fields as metallurgy, chemicals, food, and electronic coating. In recent years, the rapid development of these industries has bolstered the fast growth of vacuum pumps. In 2014, the output of vacuum pumps in China reached 9.56 million units, up 7.2% from a year earlier. We predict that by 2018 this figure will be very likely to climb to 11.84 million units, with an estimated CAGR of 5.5%.

Fuel tank plays an important role in protecting automotive safety, so vehicle plants put forward strict requirements on synchronous development capabilities, production capacity, financial strength and other aspects of fuel tank suppliers. In China, even in the world, vehicle plants and automotive fuel tank manufacturers maintain stable relationship, so that the market concentration rate is high. This feature is more apparent in the current mainstream plastic fuel tank market.

Global automotive transmission market approximated 90 million units in 2014, up 2.8% from a year earlier, and is expected to maintain a low growth rate of around 3% over the next couple years. As a large auto maker and market in the world, China's demand for automotive transmission approached 24 million units in 2014, accounting for 26% of the global total, and is expected to keep a 6.7% growth rate over the next few years, with the country's share of the global total rising to 32% in 2018.

Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia throughout the world. It is estimated that two billion people suffer from iron deficiency anemia worldwide. To address iron deficiency, iron therapy is important being the critical factor in the production of red blood cells. Around 4.5 million Americans are diagnosed and suffering from iron deficiency anemia (IDA).

Paints and coatings market is correlated with multiple end-user sectors such as housing, construction, automotive, furniture, and packaging. The global market for paints and coating experienced a healthy growth in 2014 on account of rising construction projects, increase in housing starts, resuming consumer confidence and improvement in industrial production worldwide. While housing and construction markets in North America and Europe remained subdued over the years following the global financial crisis, activity has been strong in Asian markets like China and India. Further many new construction activities are expected to begin in Asia Pacific as well as America region that will boost the demand for paints and coatings market.

Palm oil, which is the most widely used vegetable oil worldwide, is obtained from the fruit of the oil palm tree. The palm oil is used for various purposes including cooking oil, margarines and as a mil fat replacement. It is also used in preventing vitamin A deficiency, cancer, brain disease, aging; and treating malaria, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and cyanide poisoning. Industrially, palm oil is used for manufacturing cosmetics, soaps, toothpaste, waxes, lubricants, and ink. In comparison with other vegetable oils, which are soybean oil, rapeseed oil, sunflowerseed oil, coconut oil and many others, the production and consumption of palm oil is highest making its demand increase year over year.

Excavators are heavy machinery used for excavation or moving large and heavy objects. They are extremely useful for the construction and mining industry, and can perform huge tasks. They come in a wide range of sizes and capacities, and heavier the unit, greater the lift capacity will be. Excavators are made up of two components: a driving base and a powerful arm with an attachment designed for digging. The base has two sets of articulating tracks that are attached to the side of the excavator.

OBD (on-board diagnostic system) is an electronics self diagnostic system, typically used in automotive applications. It can monitor whether the automobile exhaust exceeds the standard or the system is normal at any time from the running state of the engine, and according to the fault code, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of a fault. The information is stored in the ECU in the form of fault code, and ECU ensures the fault information access and processing through standard data interface.

In 2013, the good sales of Tesla's Model S set off a global wave of new energy vehicles. Various technologies mushroomed in 2014 after many years of accumulation. Automakers, including Germany-based BMW and Audi, Japan-based Toyota and Nissan, the US-based General Motors and Tesla, China-based BYD and Roewe, launched a series of new energy vehicle models in 2014, marking the initial prevalence of new energy vehicles.
