Specialty household cleaners address issues such as the growing hygiene concerns among consumers, demand for eco-friendly products, want for convenient cleaning solutions due to hectic lifestyle, and dependency on external housekeeping experts.

Despite the approaching saturation in Western markets for regular glassware products, development of designer glass tableware and multipurpose glass tableware has created new opportunities and the market is expected to retain the ongoing growth trend.

Passive optical LAN (POL) is a Layer-2 transport medium, built with passive optical network (PON) technology, which provides converged data, video, and voice services at gigabit speeds over a single strand of fiber to the user's location. These solutions make use of a number of passive optical components. Majority of these components including optical cables, optical couplers, optical power splitters, optical encoders, patch cords and pigtails, optical connectors, optical amplifiers, optical transceivers, fixed and variable optical attenuators, optical circulators, wavelength division multiplexers/de-multiplexers, and optical filters can now be found in use in FTTH applications and current data networks. These components also find use in applications such as fiber in the loop (FITL), interoffice, loop feeder, hybrid fiber-coaxial cable (HFC), synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) systems and synchronous optical network (SONET).

The concept of protecting electronic devices from power surges or spikes is known as surge protection. Surge protection devices allow multiple components to plug into a single power outlet. A power surge is a significant increase in voltage above the designated level. If power voltage rises above the standard voltage, it is likely to damage the electronic equipment. For instance, the standard voltage in the U.S. and India are 120 volts and 230 volts respectively, in residential and commercial sectors. A surge protector prevents electrical equipment from getting damaged, when the voltage increases beyond the standard level.

Pressure sensors are typically used for measuring pressure of gas or liquids. These sensors usually act as a transducer and generate electrical signals as a function of the pressure imposed on them. Pressure sensors are also indirectly used for measuring other variables such as gas/fluid flow, water level, speed and altitude. With technological advancements in several industry verticals such as automotive, healthcare, and oil and gas, the applications and functionalities of pressure sensors is evolving continuously. Modern day pressure sensors utilize digital technology for providing better sensing performance and efficiency.

Pulmonary drug delivery is a mode of drug administration in which the drug directly reaches the lungs and gives a local as well as systemic effect. Quick onset of action, targeted drug delivery, larger surface area of lungs, less side effects and minimal dosage are some major advantages that are associated with pulmonary drug delivery systems. Today, the most commonly used pulmonary drug delivery devices are the pressurized metered dose inhalers (MDIs), dry powder inhalers (DPIs) and nebulizers. These devices are used to treat asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD and cystic fibrosis.

Sports medicine refers to a branch of medical field involving physical fitness, treatment and prevention of sports and exercise related injuries. Sports medicine devices encompass the entire range of medical products for prevention, cure and recovery of injuries arising from sports injuries. These injuries include sprain, strain, fractures, joint dislocation, musculoskeletal injuries and soft tissue damage. The sports medicine market is characterized by minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures which require less hospital stay and long term effect. The recovery procedures not only concentrate on quick recovery from the injuries, but also have a continuous check to avoid any further damage to the injured joint or ligament. The sports medicine market thus covers joint implants, fracture repair, arthroscopy devices, prosthesis, orthobiologics and support and recovery products like braces, bandages, tapes, hot/cold therapy products and performance monitoring devices.
