Globally, major burden on public health is posed by infectious diseases such as HIV, malaria, tuberculosis, hepatitis A, hepatitis C, hepatitis C and influenza. Infectious diseases are the major cause of death in the world. According to World Health Organization (WHO), globally 16% of deaths are resulted due to infectious diseases. Various pathogen microorganisms, such as parasites, virus, bacteria and fungi, cause infectious diseases. Poor sanitation and inadequate personal hygiene causes various infectious diseases. These diseases are transmitted through direct or indirect contact. Anti-infective drugs are used to prevent or destroy the growth of pathogens. Antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiparacitic drugs are some of the anti- infective drugs used for the treatment of infectious diseases.

Biomarkers are molecular or cellular diagnostic tools, measured in biological samples such as blood, saliva and urine. It is used as an indicator to measure and evaluate biological processes, pharmacological response and pathogenic processes. Some of the major types of biomarkers are prognostic, predictive, pharmacodynamic and efficacy response biomarker. A variety of biomarkers are available for biological systems such as immune system, cardiovascular system and metabolic system. Biomarkers are used to detect, predict disease susceptibility and monitor disease progression for infectious diseases, cancer, metabolic diseases, central nervous system disease and autoimmune diseases. Biomarker technologies have its applications in diagnosis and prognostic treatment for exposure of harmful chemicals, drug formulation and development and increasing implementation in disease diagnosis. Many drugs fail in clinical trials due to metabolism, toxicity, absorption, etc. Biomarkers are special tools usually used in clinical studies to determine the effects and desired results of drug in early stages of development. Biomarkers are cost effective and reliable for developing, monitoring and predicting efficiency of drugs.

Biosimilars or follow-on biologics are biopharmaceutical drugs that are similar to approved biological drugs. Biosimilars are different from other generic drugs in terms of raw material and their manufacturing process. Generic drugs are composed of small molecules. However, biosimilars are composed of more complex molecules, such as human insulin and monoclonal antibodies. Many biosimilars are derived from plants, animals, bacteria, viruses and yeast. It is produced by recombinant DNA technology and controlled gene expression methods. Biosimilar drugs are used in prevention and treatment of various severe diseases such as cancer, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, heart attacks, rheumatoid arthritis, oncology, growth hormone deficiency, chronic kidney failure, hematological disease and infectious disease. Biosimilars offer less costly treatment than other biological drugs and synthetic drugs.

Surgical apparel is used to provide optimal level of protection by reducing the transfer of bacteria from the skin to the surgical staff. Surgical apparel is also known as surgical clothing. Some of the surgical appeals are surgical gloves, face masks, head wear, scrub suits, chemotherapy gowns, foot wear, drapes and surgical gowns. Surgical apparel is essential as there are always microorganisms on the skin even after conducting sterilization procedure and strict hygiene. Surgical apparels protect bacteria from entering the surgical wound. Surgical apparels also protect healthcare staff from bodily fluids, blood, saline, urine and other chemicals during surgical procedure.

Neonatal hearing screening device refers to a medical device that helps in hearing screening in newborns. Neonatal hearing screening refers an initial screening test for hearing check of infants. Neonatal hearing screening tests include otoacoustic emissions tests (OAE) and automated auditory brainstem response tests (AABR). Undetected hearing impairment causes failure to learn, process spoken language, and speak. On the basis of type of product, neonatal hearing screening devices market can be segmented into hearing screening devices and hearing screening accessories. Some of the causes of the hearing loss in neonatal are prolonged mechanical ventilation, drug infection, low birth weight and jaundice. In addition, viral illness during pregnancy and gene mutation during fatal development also cause the hearing loss in newborn babies.

Marine ports and services market offers safety and security amenities, infrastructure development and enhance services, such as vessel traffic service, emergency services, and vessel bookings and cancellation services. Marine ports and services also provide reliable and safe movement of cargo and passenger vessels. It provides abrupt responses to safety and environmental concern associated with marine vessel of all class such as liquid cargo, dry bulk cargo and tourism or passenger ships.

X-by-wire system is used in electro-mechanical systems in automotive industry. X-by-wire system replaces the conventional mechanical control systems with electronic control systems by using electromechanical actuators and human-machine interfaces such as steering feel emulators and pedal. With the use of this system, the use of traditional components in vehicle such as the pumps, steering column, belts, intermediate shafts, belts, hoses, coolers and vacuum servos and master cylinders are eliminated. The various X-by-wire systems include shift-by-wire system, park-by-wire system, suspension-by-wire system, throttle-by-wire system, brake-by-wire system and steer-by-wire system. Among all throttle-by-wire systems and, Shift-by-Wire systems is estimated to have a major share in the X-by-Wire systems market.

North America has largest pet food market and an impressive pet population. According to The US National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy, in 2013, around 83.3 million dogs and 95.6 million cats owned by US households and this figure will increase over the forecasted period. Pet foods are mainly sold in pet stores and supermarkets. Pet foods are mainly packaged in boxes or cartons, cans, pouches, bags and others. Bags are the most commonly packaging type used for pet food in the U.S. In the U.S. quality of pet food is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Pet food market can be segmented into pet type: cat food, dog food and others. On the basis of food type pet food market can be segmented into: Nutritious food, dry food, wet or canned food and snacks or treats and others. Cat food and dog food represent the largest category of the U.S. pet food market. Dry food is the largest segment of pet food market followed by snacks or treats.
