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.

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.

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.

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.

Ultracapacitors also known as supercapacitors or Electrical double-layer capacitors (EDLC) is expected to see a robust growth in next six years. This is due to its increasing demand across various application sectors such as automotive, wind, electronics, industrial and military. Currently, driven by its several applications in the automotive sector in HEVs and trains, this market is expected to emerge as a supplement and replacement to conventional batteries. The application of ultracapacitors alongside batteries is expected to increase, and ultracapacitors are also expected to emerge as a replacement for batteries in the coming years. Batteries and ultracapacitors can be differentiated primarily on the basis of their functionality. Ultracapacitors are power devices whereas batteries are energy devices.

Metrology has found increased applications across different industry verticals and is witnessing dynamic shifts in growth trends. It helps manufacturers to increase their efficiency by optimizing productivity without significantly affecting the resource requirements. Different metrology products can be used independently or as integrated systems for functions such as measurement (3D), quality control or inspection, reverse engineering, product quality optimization, or to minimize need of reworks, and reduce scrap/waste generation during the manufacturing process. However, considering the high cost of such precision equipments, it becomes financially challenging for manufacturers to be able to keep their inventory at par with technological developments resulting in new product introduction in the market. This has given rise to service sector, wherein third party vendors are outsourced the instrumentation and measurement section. The metrology services market is broadly categorized into product segments such as coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and optical digitizers and scanners (ODS).

Distributed energy generation eliminates the need to build a transmission capacity, thereby reducing line loss. These systems find applications in residential, commercial and small industrial sectors. The great advantage in discovering distributed energy generation systems was to create amenities that meet growing energy demands satisfactorily.
