Prefilled syringes represent one of the fastest growing segments among the injectable drug delivery devices market. It is mainly due to the various advantages associated with the use of prefilled syringes such as ease of administration, reduced risk of cross contamination, less overfill and ease of handling.

Hernia occurs as result of protrusion of tissue through an abnormal opening and is affected most commonly to the geriatric population. Hernia is one of the major health concern worldwide. The study analyzes two major segments of the hernia repair devices namely, products and equipments and procedures. Hernia repair products and equipments are segmented as biologic materials, polymer and prosthetic mesh, surgical instruments and endoscopy equipment. The market for procedures includes tension repair, open-tension repair, laproscopic tension-free repair and other tension-free methods. The report also explains various technological advancements taking place in the segment.

Arthroscopy is defined as the visualization of the internal structure of a joint conducted with the help of imaging equipments such as endoscopes. It is a minimally invasive procedure imperative for diagnosis and treatment of various joint diseases such as osteoarthritis, ligament tear, cartilage tear, rheumatoid arthritis and for the surgical removal of the fluid from the inflamed joint tissue. Arthroscopy is usually performed on the knee and the shoulder joint; however, others joints such as the wrist, ankle or hip joints may also be examined and tested with the help of an arthroscopic procedure. The rising geriatric population worldwide coupled with an accentuated demand for minimally invasive procedures has triggered the growth of this market. Moreover, a spurt of sport related injuries has created a considerable demand for arthroscopic procedures.

The study provides the historical data of 2013 along with forecast for 2014 to 2020 based on volumes (Kilo Tons) and revenue (USD Million). The study includes drivers and restraints for the vinyl acetate monomer market along with their impact on demand during the forecast period. Additionally, the report includes an analysis of opportunities available in the vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) market on the global and regional level. The drivers, restraints and opportunities mentioned in the report are justified with the help of quantitative and qualitative data which is verified by primary and secondary resources.

Microencapsulation is the process of enclosing active ingredients such as drugs, pigments, agrochemicals and others inside protective coverings called shells. These shells allow controlled and sustained release of active ingredients. Microencapsulation technology has several advantages, prominent among them being targeted delivery of active ingredients, and sustained release and protection of active ingredients from the external environment. This technology is used in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, detergents, functional foods and industrial chemicals, among others. Leading companies such as Nestle, Procter & Gamble Co. (P&G) and others employ the microencaspualtion technology in order to reduce the quantity of raw materials required in the manufacture of final products. This helps these companies lower the cost of manufacturing.

Monochloroacetic acid (MCA) is a halogenated derivative of acetic acid. It is used in the production of a variety of compounds and intermediates. MCA is majorly used in the production of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), thioglycolic acid (TGA) and agrochemicals. These derivatives of MCA are used widely in applications such as plastic stabilizers, pharmaceuticals, herbicides, food thickeners, surfactants and drilling fluids. China is the global leader in the monochloroacetic acid market in terms of demand, production and export.

Increasing demand for nylon fibers from the carpets and textiles industry is expected to boost the growth of the adipic acid and caprolactam market. This, in turn, is anticipated to drive the muconic acid market. Muconic acid forms an intermediate in the production of adipic acid, caprolactam, terephthalic acid (TPA), etc. However, muconic acid is currently not preferred in the production of its derivatives on a large scale due to its low yield and subsequent high price. Other substitutes such as cyclohexane are preferred over muconic acid as they are easily available at cheaper rates. Thus, these substitutes are estimated to hamper market growth during the forecast period. However, development of bio-based muconic acid is projected to offer immense opportunities in the market in the near future. Currently, companies such as Invista, Verdezyne and Rennovia produce bio-based adipic acid through the fermentation of glucose.

Tin, a part of the carbon family, shares chemical similarities with germanium and lead. It is highly malleable and ductile and is capable of being transformed into thin sheet. Tin is unaffected by oxygen and water at room temperatures. It does not corrode or rust easily; hence, tin can be used as a coating material to protect other metals. Expansion in the consumer electronics industry coupled with rising demand in the food packaging industry is expected to drive the tin market during the forecast period. Additionally, its potential application in the solar energy industry is anticipated to provide ample opportunities for market growth during the forecast period.

Copper is a ductile metal with high electrical and thermal conductivity. It is a versatile metal with excellent chemical, physical, and aesthetic properties. Copper can be recovered from open pit mines or through the in-situ leach process. It is primarily employed in electrical wires, roofing, plumbing, and industrial machinery.
