Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems, MEMS is defined as devices made up of miniaturized mechanical and electromechanical elements using micro fabrication techniques. MEMS comprises of miniaturized structures such as sensors, actuators and microelectronics. The prime elements are micro sensors and micro actuators. These are also called as transducers which help in conversion of one form of the energy into another. Technological advances have led to development of a synergistic relation between the unrelated fields such as biology and microelectronics. MEMS finds its application in medical sector especially diagnosis and biotechnology. There has been a paradigm shift of patient taking treatment from hospital to home care.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is an infection caused by aphthovirus belonging to the family Picornaviridae. FMD is caused by seven different types of serotypes: O, A, C, Asia 1 and Southern African Territories (SAT) 1, 2 and 3. Currently available vaccines are serotype-specific, hence multiple vaccinations are required to cover the antigenic diversity. Cloven-hoofed animals especially cattle, pigs, sheep and goats are susceptible to FMD. The major symptoms of FMD are high fever, sudden weight loss, increased death rate in newborn animals, low conception rate, painful lesions in and around mouth, lips and feet, and excessive salivation. High frequency of FMD outbreaks especially in Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America is fueling the demand for FMD vaccines. In addition, government initiatives to eradicate the disease is resulting in increased awareness about FMD vaccines, thereby driving market growth. This report covers the market analysis of various types of vaccines that are used to control FMD.

Exponential growth is being witnessed by the global cell surface markers market owing to ease of data management and automation of solutions and technologies. The increased occurrence of chronic diseases, particularly autoimmune disorders and cancer, has stimulated the demand for cell surface markers globally.

The report also provides a comprehensive analysis of the global land incineration plants market with the help of Porter's Five Forces model. This analysis helps in understanding the five major forces that affect the structure and profitability of the global land incineration plants market. The forces analyzed are bargaining power of buyers, bargaining power of suppliers, threat of new entrants, threat of substitutes, and degree of competition.

Freight management system is a software solution that is implemented in transport businesses to optimize the efficiency of commercial freight operations. Such software systems automate processes and help in improving company's communication and productivity. The solution also reduces the load of data entry and helps in eliminating errors. The various features of a freight management include freight tracking system, vehicle maintenance and repairs, pallet tracking, Proof of Delivery (POD) scanning, drivers and subcontractors rating and payments, customer Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) interfacing, consignment entry, consistent auto consignment pricing and comprehensive operational reporting.

Since its introduction over a decade ago, 3D printing as a technology has revolutionized manufacturing as a process. Ever increasing cost pressures on medical device manufacturers and their intense need to introduce innovative products has forced them to adopt 3D printing as a means to reduce the manufacturing life cycle and almost completely eliminate the traditional prototyping process. Traditional manufacturing techniques are based on the subtractive method where, the required product is created by cutting or drilling of the base material. 3D printing builds the desired products layer-by-layer through addition of materials. Hence, this process is also called as additive manufacturing. Although, 3D printing is actually a subset of additive manufacturing, it used synonymously with additive manufacturing in the industry. The overall 3D printing market for medical applications has been categorized on the basis of its applications, raw materials, and technology

The camera module industry is gaining traction as tablet and smartphone manufacturers are persistently developing advanced camera module technologies, thus capitalizing on the sector's fast growth. With smartphones and tablets becoming equipped with advanced image capturing capabilities and continued thrust on enhancing the resolution of camera units on smartphones, the functionality and reliability of camera modules will be more critical in the years to come.

Antimicrobial plastics are molded polymers infused with antimicrobials to inhibit the growth of various harmful microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria. Antimicrobial plastics are used in various industries such as healthcare, automotives, building & construction, electronics, packaging and consumer goods. Additionally, they are used in niche applications such as pipes, plastic water storage containers, waste bins and lids. Rising awareness among consumers regarding good health and cleanliness is expected to be one of the primary factors driving the growth of the antimicrobial plastics market.

Carbon black is a finely divided black colored powder produced by thermal decomposition or incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons such as natural gas, coal gas and petroleum oil. It is produced as black-colored colloidal particles through processes such as furnace black process, channel process and acetylene process. Carbon black is primarily used as a dyeing agent in the textile industry.

Polyoxymethylene (POM) is an engineering thermoplastic that is used in commercial as well as industrial applications. It is majorly employed in precision parts that require low friction, high stiffness and significant dimensional stability. Polyoxymethylene (POM) is widely used in automotive, electrical and electronic and consumer goods industries, among others. The polyoxymethylene (POM) market is anticipated to expand significantly in the near future due to its growing applications, especially in automotive and electrical industries. Polymers have been a vital part of the food industry due to factors such as their low cost, mechanical strength and ease in manufacturing and processing. Hence, demand for plastic from the food industry is expected to strengthen the market for polyoxymethylene (POM), thereby creating new opportunities in the near future. However, competition from bio-based engineering plastics is anticipated to be a restraining factor for the polyoxymethylene (POM) market.
