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.

Gout is a disease characterized by recurrent attacks of acute inflammatory arthritis. It occurs when urate crystals accumulate in joint and causes inflammation and intense pain. Urate crystals are formed when high levels of uric acid are present in blood. Human body produces uric acid when it breaks down into purines. Purines are those substances which are present naturally in the body in the form of foods.

Molecular diagnostics is a vast field that comprises of techniques and methods to analyze biomarkers in genetic code. It helps in encoding genomes and proteomes that are required for studying and detecting the disease, and thus help in deciding the best therapy for an individual. MicroRNA tools and services market is experiencing a significant growth due to increased R&D and rising government initiatives in this field. MicroRNA tools market is further segmented into quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), microarrays, and functional tools. Of which, qRT-PCR segments remains the largest and the fastest growing segment. MicroRNA services market is further segmented into phenotypic analysis and expression profiling and analysis.

Medical devices and material market is growing at a significant rate due to increase in the prevalence of diseases and growing government incentives in healthcare sector. Biomedical materials refer to the materials that are used in manufacturing of medical devices used in healthcare sector. A biomedical material may be natural or synthetic in nature, and is used to replace or treat the tissue or organ to support its proper working. Various biomedical materials that are available in the market include silicone hydrogels, biostable polyurethanes, polymer stabilizing technology, resorbable materials, hydrophilic and non-biofouling coatings and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibres.

Disposable medical products are an essential component of every medical, dental, and veterinary practice. Demand for disposable medical supplies is increasing as hospitals and outpatient facilities are adopting strict infection prevention safety measures to meet strict standards. Some of the disposable medical supplies are blood glucose test strips, procedure kits and trays, conventional syringes with needles, facemasks, prefilled syringes, isolation gowns, disposable medical catheters, adult incontinence products, wound care products, surgical drapes, medical gloves, disposable contact lenses and lancing devices. Medical disposables are design to reduce the discomfort and distress of the patient. Disposable medical supplies are the largest segment within the global healthcare equipment and supplies sector. Drug delivery devices are the largest group of disposable medical supplies.

Nucleic acid is composed of large biological molecules and divided into two main types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA carries genetic information which helps in the development and proper functioning of all living organisms. A DNA segment which carries the genetic information is called gene. RNA converts genetic information from genes into amino acid sequences of proteins.

Safety is on of the major concern for the driver and the passenger while travelling. Automotive safety system is the practice of designing and constructing the vehicle with required safety equipment. These equipments save passengers and drivers from getting injured from sudden jerk and accidents. Main purpose of automotive safety system is to cushion driver during vehicle crash and protect the body when the body strike the interior objects of the vehicle such as the steering, wheel or window. Modern vehicle are designed with multiple automotive safety equipments situated in different side and frontal location of the person driving the vehicle. While the vehicle is running, passengers and drivers do travel with same speed. When the vehicle suddenly stops, people seating are still in the same velocity and can get injuries while the vehicle crashes.

Telematics is referred as information technology that deals with long distance communication and transmission of computerized information. Telematics is the technology of sending, receiving and storing information through the use of telecommunication devices. Automotive telematics is integrated use of telecommunications and informatics applied in the vehicles, providing required information while the vehicle is on the move. Automotive telematics includes global positioning system technology integrated with communication technology within the vehicle such as navigation system.

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.

Adhesives are use for joining and assembling of different materials surfaces. Both dry lamination technique and wet lamination technique are widely used in laminating adhesive. Laminating adhesive has its application in various industrial and domestic uses. It is particularly designed to attach or fix two different surfaces together. The different chemical compositions of laminating adhesives include polyurethanes, polyvinyl acetate, epoxy, styrenic block, and ethylene vinyl acetate. It is widely applicable in minimizing weight, vibration-dampening joint and leakage control of fluids or gases.
