Biopharmaceuticals are pharmaceutical products which are produced through biotechnology methods involving recombinant DNA techniques, hybridoma techniques, and purification processes.

Home infusion therapy is more cost-efficient than hospitalization. This is a major reason behind the increasing demand for home infusion therapy devices. Moreover, rising aging population, increasing the prevalence of chronic diseases, advancements in technology in infusion devices, and innovative applications of infusion devices in healthcare are boosting the growth of the home infusion therapy devices market.

Osteoporosis is a progressive, skeletal disease, leading to fragile and abnormally porous bones. It is characterized by decrease in bone density, strength, and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue resulting in thinning or weakening of bones with an increased propensity of fractures. Primary and secondary osteoporosis are the major types of osteoporosis. Some of the factors leading to osteoporosis are genetic factor, aging, lack of calcium and vitamin D, smoking, lack of exercise, low body weight, excessive alcohol consumption, history of rheumatoid arthritis, menopause, and certain medication. Osteoporosis can be diagnosed using X-ray and can be confirmed by bone density scan. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is the common bone density test used to measure the density of bones. Treatment for osteoporosis begins with a change in lifestyle and diet. It can be prevented and treated with the help of calcium and vitamin D supplements, exercise, and osteoporosis medications. Prevalence of osteoporosis is high among people aged 60 years and above. Moreover, estrogen plays a vital role in regulating the bone growth process in women. Post menopause, bone breakdown outpaces the building of new bone matter. The rate of bone loss in women increases after menopause, leading to the threat of developing osteoporosis.

Shaving is one of those activities that grow with the advancement in civilization. Increasing urbanization, rising number of women joining the workforce, and the introduction of new technologies in shaving products is driving the global shavers market. Increasing disposable income is driving consumer spending on high-end grooming products such as electric shavers. In terms of sales, Europe dominated the shavers market in 2014. However, due to growing urbanization in Latin America, the region is expected to emerge as the largest market for shavers over the forecast period.

Off-street parking is a parking facility, where the parking facility does not interact with the traffic flow on the road. There is only a single point of interaction between the car park area and road, known as an access point. Off-street parking facility demand is due to supply outweighs of the on-road parking facility.

Scar is a mark on the skin which is formed due to infection, injury, surgery, inflammation of tissue, burns, and acne. Scars can impact an individual's mental and physical well-being, resulting in poor self esteem, altered social interactions, depression, and embarrassment. Scars can be of various sizes, shapes, and colors, depending on the age of scar, site of scar, and family history. Formation of scars is unpredictable and varies from person to person. Certain areas of the body such as the chest, back, ear lobes, and the shoulder are more at risk of scarring as compared to rest of the body. Scars on knees and shoulders can appear stretched or widened due to the healing process which occurs over movable joints.

Next-generation antibody therapeutics refer to the improved antibody therapeutics with enhanced efficiency, greater safety, and improved delivery. Next-generation antibody-based therapeutics overcome the limitations of monoclonal antibodies and feature enhancements to existing properties of therapeutic antibodies. Various biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies are actively involved in development of next-generation antibody therapeutics, especially for cancer, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases. Factors such as growing R&D activities, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, technological advancements in antibody therapeutics, and rising healthcare expenditure are driving growth of the global next-generation antibody therapeutics market. However, stringent regulatory requirements, long approval times for new drugs, and high costs of next-generation antibody therapeutics are some of the key restraints for growth of the market.

Concerns over increasing carbon emissions have led various industries to undertake various initiatives for environmental conservation. The automotive sector is one among the prominent sources of greenhouse gas emissions globally. Owing to environment deterioration various governments have formulated regulations or emission reduction targets. In order to achieve these targets, various automotive companies are focusing towards improving the fuel efficiency of vehicles. Use of lightweight materials for vehicle design or automotive weight reduction is the preferred strategy to improve the fuel economy of the vehicle.

Capnography is a technique used to monitor the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the respiratory gases. It is majorly used as a monitoring tool during procedural sedation, anesthetics, and in intensive care. The analysis is presented in a form of graph known as capnogram, which depicts expiratory CO2 measured in terms of mmHg, plotted against time or expired volume of air. Irregular curve formation signifies some form of lung disease or obstructive conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema. High demand for plastic surgeries in Latin America, rise in the prevalence of respiratory diseases, and technological advancements in the field of capnography are the major factors driving the capnography market in Latin America. According to a survey conducted by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), an organization for board-certified aesthetic plastic surgeons, Brazil accounted for 9.1% share of the total number of procedures conducted in Latin America, followed by Mexico with only 3.8% share of the total procedures. Procedural sedation, one of the important procedures in plastic surgery, has increased the usage of capnography equipment in this region.

Bacterial conjunctivitis is one of the common eye problems faced worldwide, usually caused by various bacterium such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia, Moraxella lacunata, Haemophilus influenza, and others (for instance, Chlamydia trachomatis, Proteus mirabilis, etc.). These organisms cause conjunctivitis with a higher level of redness and could spread through hand to the eye or sexual contact. Generally, bacterial conjunctivitis is acute as well as self-limiting and does not lead to any major health problem. Moreover, the disease can be treated on its own, hence the exact estimate of epidemiology of this disease has not been studied or established in many countries including the developed markets such as the U.S.Antibiotics in the form of ointment or eye drops are prescribed by ophthalmologists and optometrists for treating bacterial conjunctivitis.Increasing the incidence of bacterial conjunctivitis is the major driver of the bacterial conjunctivitis drugs market in the U.S.
