Power tools are primarily used in manufacturing and construction industry for the purpose of reducing workload and increasing the output. These tools have several types of operation such as drilling, chiseling, sanding and screw driving among others. The market has been analyzed to grow steadily due to the increasing need for infrastructure development in emerging economies.

Circuit breakers are electric switches that protect an electrical circuit or electrical distribution systems from damage caused by overload, abnormal voltage fluctuation or short circuit. These devices are used to detect malfunction and interruption in current flow. The Brazilian market for circuit breakers by voltage level is segmented into low voltage, medium voltage and high voltage. By arch quenching media, the circuit breakers market is bifurcated into air, vacuum, SF6, and others (CO2, DCB, and oil). Circuit breakers are used in construction, automotive, industrial, oil and gas, power generation industries and others (healthcare, mining and food & beverages). Manufacturers of circuit breakers are significantly investing in research and development activities for innovation in latest technologies.

Lighting fixtures serves the purpose of illumination or lighting by utilizing different source of lighting technology. In 2015, general lighting industry commands about 20% of the global electricity consumption. Over the past few years, lighting market have seen a gradual transition from traditional or inefficient lighting technology to more energy efficient lighting such as solid state lighting. Additionally, government regulations on sustainable energy consumption is driving technology advanced lighting fixtures such as LED lighting fixtures primarily in developed regions such as Europe and North America. Moreover, need for high energy efficiency, durability and better light quality is driving the demand for advanced lighting fixtures, retrofitting traditional lighting fixtures.

A rise in the global geriatric population, increasing number of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease (PD) and growing awareness about neurological movement disorders among patients have triggered the growth of the deep brain stimulation devices market. Globally, neurological disorders are one of the major causes of mortality and account for approximately 12% of deaths per annum. Of these, cerebrovascular diseases account for 85% deaths. Parkinson's disease is the most common neurological disorder after Alzheimer's disease. Symptoms associated with this disease include tremors, slowness of movement, muscle stiffness and trouble with balance. Drug therapy is the most effective treatment option available to control PD in the initial stages; however, a large number of medicines are required to control the disease during its advanced stages. In the later stages of PD, surgical treatment using deep brain stimulation (DBS) devices is used to control symptoms of the disease. DBS devices are an effective, clinically proven and legally approved advanced treatment option for mild to severe PD. The market for DBS devices is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period from 2014 to 2020. However, the high cost of the surgical procedure could hamper the growth of the market. The growing burden of PD on health care systems, along with the uncertainty of economic conditions in some developed economies such as the U.S. and Europe has forced original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to develop cost-effective devices for PD treatment.

This report on the biosensors market studies the current as well as future prospects of the market globally. Biosensors are rapidly gaining popularity in the global market due to its wide array of applications in the fields of medical diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, food industry, bio-defense, and industrial processes. The largest application for biosensors since their origin continues to be blood glucose monitors. However, the market is now demonstrating a paradigm shift towards various other applications such as infectious disease monitoring, blood gas analyses, cholesterol testing, pregnancy testing and non-medical applications such as industrial biology, food toxicity detection and military services. Biosensors are now also being positioned for cancer detection and personalized medicine due to its accurate detection of specific biological analyte and reliable imaging of cancer cells. This report comprises an elaborate executive summary, which includes a market snapshot that provides information about various segments and sub-segments of the biosensors market. It also provides information and data analysis of the global biosensors market with respect to market segments based on the type of biosensor technology, applications, end users and their geographic markets.

The importance of medical imaging systems is growing day by day owing to their increasing applications in the field of neurology, cardiology and in women\'s health. This is also increasing burden on the service providers who are dependent on their fixed imaging modalities, thus arising the need for the mobile medical imaging systems. Mobile imaging services are technologically identical to fixed imaging systems, albeit with some physical differences. The mobile imaging systems are designed to be installed in large vans/trailers that operate as mobile scanning rooms and can be taken to various sites offering extended care. These mobile trailers are outfitted with operator workstations, proper magnetic shielding, and other peripherals for suitable operation. Imaging modalities like mammography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and now even positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) are the ones that are used in the mobile trailers in addition to some of the non-imaging modalities such as cardiac catheterization and lithotripsy units. These outsourced radiology imaging services are majorly concentrated in the U.S. and to some extent in Europe. Hospitals largely contribute in adopting these mobile vehicles on rent for a short period of time and accordingly perform procedures on patients.
