Antibacterial glass is developed in order to impart bactericidal and fungicidal properties on its surface. The glass is designed in a manner such that it prevents the spread of fungi as well as eliminates majority of the bacteria that form on its surface. It is developed via one of two processes: infusion and coating. Furthermore, antibacterial glass can also be developed using an active ingredient other than silver. These include copper and zinc; however, majority of the antibacterial glass developed employs silver as the active ingredient, in line with AGC's development process. On account of its properties, this glass is used where a sterile environment is required, for example in hospitals, bathrooms, hotels, etc. Technological advancements and the ready acceptance of health-improving devices are expected to be the key contributors for increasing demand for antimicrobial coatings. Additionally, the healthcare industry is a highly lucrative end-use industry for antimicrobial coatings.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, around 26% of the world's land area and about 70% of the agricultural area is covered by grasslands, which contribute to the livelihoods of millions. Grasslands are a source of goods such as food and forage. The global forage feed market has been experiencing significant expansion over the years. This can be attributed to the surge in global meat consumption, growth in farm animal production, and increasing awareness about the health benefits of forage feed in animals.

Packers are downhole equipment used to separate portions of a borehole from each other. Escalating energy needs have spurred well construction activities to tap oil and gas reservoirs, of which casing and tubing are crucial elements.

The growing prevalence of chronic ailments such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and peripheral vascular diseases has spurred the negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) market. Patients who suffer from acute illnesses such as cancer and neurological disorders often have to stay in hospitals for a longer period of time, thereby leading to long-term bed occupancy. This in turn increases the rate of decubitus ulcers.

While traditional wound dressings have been preferred by healthcare practitioners and patients owing to low prices and well-defined reimbursement policies, advanced wound dressings are beginning to gain popularity given the wide range of novel and improved wound care products available today.

Laser technology is used for different industrial processes including cutting, welding, drilling, marking and engraving. Laser processing market is expected to witness high demand during the forecast period owing to the wide applications of laser technology. Laser technology offers high speed and accurate industrial processes as compared to conventional industrial processing techniques. In addition, laser processing provides clean and a damage free operation as it is a non-contact process. This is one of the most important factors responsible for growing adoption of laser technology in manufacturing processes across the world. Rising demand for efficient material processing techniques in manufacturing industries is another driving factor for laser processing market. Additionally, miniaturization of electronics goods is another factor encouraging the adoption of laser technology for production of circuit boards, integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronics components. Laser technology is useful for processes such as cutting and marking in small dimensions. Thus, laser technology plays an important role in marking process for small electronic components. Moreover, government regulations about clear and permanent marking on food and pharmaceutical products mandates the use of laser technology for marking processes. This may fuel the adoption of laser technology in marking during the forecast period. Growing industries in Asia Pacific region is another important factor driving the laser processing market in this region. Countries such as China, Japan and South Korea are expected to show strong growth in laser processing market during the forecast period. This is majorly due to the rising automobile and original equipment manufacturing (OEM) industries in these countries.
