Blood processing devices and consumables are used in the storage and management of donated blood. Storage and extraction devices such as lancets, blood bags, refrigerators, and freezers are used for long-term large-scale storage of donated blood. Blood processing devices and consumables include cell processors, various laboratory equipment, and hematology reagents, which are used to test donated blood for the presence of blood-borne diseases and other hematological abnormalities. Around 70 million units of donated blood is transfused every year in developed nations, highlighting the importance of blood processing.

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.

Magnetic materials are objects that naturally possess magnetic properties or can be magnetized. Based on their properties and end-use, these materials can be classified as permanent or temporary. Different types of magnetic materials such as soft, hard and semi-hard are used in the magnetic materials industry. Soft magnetic materials are further bifurcated into soft ferrite and electrical steel, while hard (permanent) magnetic materials are segmented into hard ferrite, NdFeB, SmCo, and alnico. These materials are used in various applications such as automotives, electronics and energy generation.

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.

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.
