The global market for disposable gloves is primarily driven by the growing healthcare industry and increasing awareness of hygiene among patients as well as healthcare providers. Disposable gloves have served the medical sector effectively in terms of safety, hygiene and cost-effectiveness. However, volatile raw material prices and currency fluctuations may hamper the market growth. With rubber and nitrile latex accounting for 50 to 60% of the total cost of production, managing volatility in rubber prices is an important part of a glove maker's business strategy. In addition, the growth potential of the healthcare industry, especially in Asia Pacific, along with the demand for nitrile gloves is expected to be an opportunity for the market in the coming years.

Chelating agents are high performance chemical substances which are used to prevent the deleterious effects of metal ions for household and industrial applications. Certain chelating agents such as APCA, gluconates and organophosphonates are used for direct treatment of metal poisoning as they bind the toxic metal ions more strongly than the vulnerable components of the living organisms.

Pre-pregnancy genetic testing comprises a suite of tests used to identify genetic abnormalities in a gestating fetus. Genetic abnormalities can cause severe conditions later on, resulting in mental retardation, strokes, paralysis, cardiac conditions, etc. Examination of the genetic makeup of the fetus through pre-pregnancy genetic testing allows gynecologists to identify such conditions and prepare a treatment plan. Chromosomal abnormalities such as trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) and 18 (Edwards syndrome) are among the conditions that can be identified through pre-pregnancy genetic testing.

Growing concerns about greenhouse emissions have led to the increasing demand for clean and sustainable power sources. Wind energy is ideal for environment-friendly power generation. Lightweight composite materials help to harness wind energy with high efficiency. As a result, the demand for wind turbine composite materials is rising. The global wind industry is shifting toward larger turbines with longer blades, as larger blades are capable of producing higher amount of energy at low costs. Composite materials offer higher reliability and stability. Hence, these are of great importance in the manufacturing of parts of wind turbine, especially rotor blades.

Food contact paper and board are being use in the food industry in a wide range of applications such as manufacturing, processing, preparing, treating and packaging. There are few applications where close contact is involved, such as dip tea bags and filter papers, while direct contact packaging finds application in cartons for beverages, bakery goods & butter wrapping, fruits, and takeout food. In addition, it has wide applications in transport and distribution packaging.

3D cameras enable photographers to capture images that create a depth illusion in 2D photographs, enhancing the visual appeal of the photograph. Incorporation of 3D technology in video cameras is, of course, not a novel concept and has been a mainstay in the entertainment industry for many years. 3D videos allow viewers to immerse themselves into the on-screen action much more naturally than with 2D footage. 3D still cameras are a relatively more recent innovation and took much more time to take off commercially, only becoming a commercial hit around the turn of the ongoing decade. However, 3D cameras are now steadily rising in demand.

Cooking oils and fats form an imperative part of a healthy diet. Dietary fat is imperative for human health. Saturated fats increase the cholesterol level in a human body while Monounsaturated and Polyunsaturated fats tend to lower the cholesterol level in the human body. Food and drinks contain several essential nutrients, fats being one of them. Some food and drinks contain a large number of only one nutrient such as fried foods, which contain a large number of fat and soft drinks, which contain a large number of sugar. Dietary fat is imperative for many body processes. Dietary fat helps circulating some essential vitamins around the human body and helps in making hormones.
