Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine which deals with anatomy, physiology and diseases of the eye. Some of the major eye diseases include haloes, distorted vision, eyelid abnormalities, glaucoma, retinal disease and cataract. The ophthalmology device market is categorized based on various diagnostic and monitoring devices, surgical devices and vision care products. These segments comprise several devices used for treatment of eye diseases. The diagnostic and monitoring device segment is further sub-segmented into fundus cameras, pachymeters, specular microscopes, optical coherence tomography scanners, keratometers, ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems, wavefront aberrometers, tonometers, slit lamps and corneal topographers. The surgical device segment includes refractive device, vitreoretinal surgery device, cataract and glaucoma devices. The vision care segment comprises spectacles and contact lenses.

Materials that can store latent heat (energy released or absorbed by a material or a thermodynamic system at constant-temperature process) during the phase transition are called phase change materials (PCMs). PCMs latent heat transition can be achieved with solid-solid, solid-liquid, solid-gas, and liquid-gas phase change. However, only solid-liquid phase change is used in advanced PCMs at commercial level, since other methods required large volume and high pressure.

The liver is one of the most important organs of the human body and performs major functions, such as removal of harmful substances from blood, maintains adequate level of chemicals in the body and stores nutrients for all cellular and biological activities. Improper functioning of liver cause many severe diseases, such as hepatitis A, B, C, Primary Biliary Cirrhosis and tumors. Some inherited diseases, such as Wilson's Disease, Alagille Syndrome and Hemochromatosis are also occurred by improper functioning of liver. Some of the major reasons for improper functioning of liver are genetic disorder, excessive alcohol consumption and obesity. Some of these may also lead to permanent damage of liver.

The term "immunoglobulin" refers to the breakdown of blood plasma that contains antibody. IVIg is a blood product which is administered intravenously. It contains polyvalent IgG antibodies which are extracted from the plasma of more than thousand of blood donors. Individuals who are unable to produce adequate amount of antibodies, such as patients with common variable immunodeficiency, Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome, X-linked agammaglobulinemia and other forms of hypogammaglobulinemia, get benefit from IVIg to maintain the appropriate level of antibodies in the body.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an integrated healthcare system which is used for imaging internal parts of body. It is most widely used for diagnostics imaging of central nervous system for detecting stroke affected areas of brain, brain tumours, imaging blood vessels and spine lesions. It involves the use of magnetism, radio waves, and a computer to produce images of body structures. MRI scans are also used widely for cardiac and liver scans. MRI systems market has experienced high growth rate due to keen interest shown by developers and manufactures for this technology and its patient friendly nature.

Wound and tissue management refers to a process of treatment of wound and tissue with the help of wound and tissue management products and technologies. Wound and tissue management helps to treat wound to the skin and manage trauma to tissue and blood vessels during surgery. Market segmentation of wound and tissue management market includes wound closure devices, dynamic compression therapy, static compression therapy, anti-adhesion products, hemostats, advanced dressings, tissue sealants and negative wound pressure therapy. On the basis of product, wound and tissue management market can be segmented into external, internal and combined wound management. On the basis of wound closure products, wound and tissue management market can be segmented into sutures, surgical staplers, multi-fire clip appliers, single-fire clip appliers, staplers, skin closure strips, cyanoacrylate tissue adhesives skin staplers and others.

Biosimulation refers to a process involving simulation of biological processes with the help of computer sided mathematical models. Biosimulation is an integral part of systems biology and helps in clinical drug development, drug metabolism and modeling of complex biomedical systems.

A tire pressure monitoring system is an electronic device used to monitor the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on several types of vehicles. TPMS gives the real-time tire pressure information to the driver of the vehicle through a pictogram display and a simple low pressure warning light. In the recent scenario, automotive safety systems have become more advanced, sophisticated and efficient. Increased adoption rate of automotive safety systems by the automotive industry resulted in the reduced number of accidents and lowers the impact of accidents on people. Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems have played an important role in achieving these targets (lowers traffic accidents due to under-inflated tires by early recognition of the malfunction of tires and reducing rolling resistance thus increasing overall fuel efficiency), where these systems have made vehicles safer for people.

Land military is one of the basic forms of border defense of a country. Military land vehicles have been growing at a rapid pace due to increasing purchases by the emerging economies with large population who need increased land-protection. However, the military land vehicles market is expected to grow at a sluggish rate in the short term due to austerity in several major markets. The economic slowdown in Europe is another factor for the low growth in the short term. The traditional markets for military land vehicles such are the U.S. are mostly up-grading and maintaining their existing military fleets rather than replacing them with the new ones.

Global truck manufacturing market is increasing mostly due to the growing population and increasing industrialization which is leading to the growth of logistics. After the Second World War, the industry and commerce activities grew at a rapid pace in the key developed countries which pace up the growing truck manufacturing market. With the growing e-commerce industry, the demand for shipping has increased which in turn has been creating propelling the truck manufacturing market. New emission regulations have been leading to the old truck models needs to be dumped which is creating new demands for the truck manufacturing industry.
