Socks are commodity products. However, in recent years with the advent of luxury socks and socks for specific application, socks have transformed from commodity items to fashion pieces. Owing to the transformation of this traditional item into a luxury product, the growth of the socks market outpaces the overall growth of the apparel industry. Almost 70% of the men use socks every day. Hence, the robust growth of the men's apparel industry is expected to be the major driver of the socks industry during the forecast period.

Hospital-acquired infections are caused by bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens. A majority of cases of hospital infections start from the intensive care units (ICUs). A large number of antimicrobial drugs have proven their competence in the treatment of a wide range of hospital infections.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), when used in the form of fibers and filaments, is known as polyester. Polyester fibers are used in a wide range of applications such as carpets, rugs, fiberfill, and nonwoven fabrics. Polyester fibers are also used in industrial applications, home textiles and apparel. Other applications of polyester fibers include industrial, home textiles and apparels. Purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and monoethylene glycol (MEG) are the primary raw materials used in the manufacture of polyester fiber. The demand for polyester fiber is expected to increase tremendously owing to technological advancements that have enabled the production of thinner filaments. This gives polyester fiber a silky smooth feel and improved color-holding (dope dyeing) capabilities. Rising disposable incomes coupled with changing lifestyles will likely drive the home furnishings market; carpets and rugs account for a notable share of the market. Additionally, consumers' focus on enhancing interiors, especially in commercial and corporate environments, is likely to boost demand for wall-to-wall carpets and in turn the polyester fiber market. Increased construction of both residential and commercial spaces is expected to be a vital factor driving the demand for carpets and rugs. The growth of the carpet industry is anticipated to be in tandem with the increase in construction activities.

Growth in construction and automobile industries coupled with the implementation of stringent environmental regulations in developed countries is expected to drive the global wood-plastic composites market from 2013 to 2019. Wood-plastic composites are sub-sets of a larger category of natural fiber plastic composites (NFPCs). Wood-plastic composites are manufactured from wood flour and thermoplastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride. These composites are produced by mixing ground wood particles and heated thermoplastic resins. Wood-plastic composites can be manufactured with either virgin or recycled thermoplastic resins. Being water, weather and mould resistant, this material can be used for various outdoor applications; whereas untreated or chemically treated timber products are not as suited to weatherability as wood-plastic composites products.

Noble gases form a minor component of the earth's atmosphere. Argon is the most abundantly available noble gas in the atmosphere, followed by helium and neon. Gases such as krypton and xenon are available in minute quantities, amounting to barely 0.00011% of air. Akin to oxygen and nitrogen, the noble gases are generally obtained through separation of air in Air Separation Units (ASUs) through methods such as liquefaction of gases and fractional distillation. Helium is generally trapped with natural gas with concentration of up to 7% in terms of volume. The gas is then extracted commercially using low temperature separation processes such as fractional distillation. Argon, xenon, neon and krypton are also obtained from the air through cryogenic separation and purification processes. Major air separation plants are the primary sources of noble gases in the market. Capacity addition of such plants and R&D for newer separation technologies is being undertaken in order to deal with increasing demand for noble gases.

Wireless microphones avoid cabling problems such as trip hazards in the performance space. In addition, overhead costs for cabling is wiped out. Moreover, wireless microphones offer high mobility and comfort when compared to wired microphones. Thus, consumer preference for these products is increasing in the APAC region. Wireless microphones are available in various sizes and shapes and can fit on the ear or waist, keeping the user's hands free. Wireless microphones use Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth, and radio frequencies for connectivity and communication. Wi-Fi technology is widely used for connectivity between transmitters and receivers owing to their high voice clarity and high pass-through capability. The increasing number of sporting events and entertainment events such as music concerts and award ceremonies in the Asia Pacific region have resulted in high demand for wireless microphones.
