Technological advancements have brought a lot of change in the way surgical procedures are carried out today. Operating rooms are becoming more spacious with new and advanced operating tables, operating room lights, high resolution and high definition surgical imaging displays, movable imaging systems, and biomedical systems that have become an indispensable part of modern hybrid operating rooms.

Drug delivery plays a vital role in human health care. Needle free drug delivery devices are novel drug delivery devices to inject drugs into a patients' body without invading the skin tissue with a conventional needle. The first needle free injection systems were developed in the 1940s and 1950s for the U.S. soldiers. These are now poised to become mainstream. Lesser pain and stress; elimination of the need for needle disposal, consistency in drug delivery, and zero risk of broken needles are the major advantages of needle free drug delivery devices over conventional drug delivery devices. Hence, the global needle free drug delivery devices market is likely to witness strong growth during the forecast period from 2015–2023. However, high start-up cost and requirement for training and maintenance are some of restraints of the market.

Separation systems play a vital role in industrial biotechnology processes. These systems produce the desired products from small to large quantities and has wide area of applications. Liquid chromatography, membrane filters, flow cytometer instruments, centrifugation systems, and electrophoresis instruments are the major segments of the market. Each of the systems uses different method to carry out separations in the biotechnology, bio-pharmaceutical, agriculture, energy industries, etc.

Hydrocephalus is defined as an imbalance between the production and absorption of CSF. This increase in CSF may be due to numerous reasons such as defective absorption, over production of CSF, brain atrophy, or obstruction of circulation. The additional CSF is stored in subarachnoid spaces of the brain or within the ventricles. This condition is also termed as hydrodynamic CSF disorder. Hydrocephalus majorly occurs in babies during birth. It also occurs in elderly people. If hydrocephalus happens in a newborn, it can physically deform the child as CSF continues to build up, causes the child's head to expand to accommodate the excessive CSF. However, unlike an older child or adult, the infant head is able to expand since their fontanels are not yet closed. If hydrocephalus is left untreated, it can lead to mental retardation due to extreme pressure being exerted on surrounding cerebral tissue causing the brain to atrophy. Higher rates of neural tube defects and neonatal infection in emerging countries are related to advanced rates of hydrocephalus. Around 1% to 2% of the population of the U.S. was affected by hydrocephalus and over 350,000 procedures were performed to treat hydrocephalus in the country in 2014. Moreover, in Canada, one in every 1547 people suffers from hydrocephalus.

The automobile sector is one of the fastest growing sectors globally. The rising government regulations for driver safety and emission norms, the market for automotive sensors is set to increase globally. Automotive sensors are core element of a vehicle in powertrain, chassis and body electronics components. Modern vehicles are equipped with various sensors which provide critical data relating to performance, comfort, safety and convenience. The first automotive sensor found its application for the measurement of inlet manifold absolute pressure (MAP) in early ignition and fuelling control systems which are still being used. Many other sensors such as exhaust gas sensor, crankshaft position sensor, temperature sensors and air mass flow sensors are used to enhance powertrain performance.

The global industrial personnel and burden carrier (electric) market was valued at USD 98.9 million in 2014, growing at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2015 to 2021. The global industrial personnel carrier (electric) market is segmented by types into 2 to 5 seater, 5 to 10 seater, 10 and above seater. In addition, the global burden carrier market (electric) is further segmented into stand up and sit-down. Reduction of man power, transport of raw materials and equipment within the factory, increasing need for operational efficiency within the manufacturing plants are the major drivers for the growth of this market globally.

The global market for control valves has been covered under the scope of this report. Control valves can be defined as a device which modulates the flow at various degrees in accordance with signals received from an external control device. It is also referred to as "the final control element" and performs functions that directly affect the process.

Service robots are the robots that perform multiple tasks such as automatic floor mopping, dishwashing, lawn mowing and many more for humans apart from the industrial application. These are the fully autonomous systems that have the ability to carry out the services with or without human assistance. They are used in industries and for domestic purpose assisting human in performing duties which are repetitive and difficult for humans to perform. Moreover they are used to perform tasks that are repetitive, dangerous, dull and dirty. The service robotics is segmented into professional and service robots. The professional robots are used for commercial purpose whereas personal robots are used for domestic uses.

The sealers market in North America is projected to experience moderate growth over the course of the forecast period, driven primarily by the demand for sealers to be used in driveways and parking lots. The increased usage of acrylic sealers with added benefits such as low volatile emissions are likely to offer significant opportunities for growth in the future.
