Plasma is the liquid portion of the blood. Plasma is the versatile component and makes about 55% of the blood. Plasma is the composite mixture of more than 700 proteins and other substances which are vital for the efficient functioning of the human body. Plasma helps in regulating body temperature and blood pressure. It serves as a medium for exchange of proteins, nutrients and hormones to the different parts of the body. Clotting factor, albumin and immunoglobulin are some of the major proteins found in plasma. Plasma is extracted as proteins and substances and used as main ingredients in medical products to replace body fluids, clotting factors and antibodies. Plasma is used as a component for the treatment of serious health problems such as hemophilia and autoimmune disorders.

Molecular diagnostics market is growing at a significant rate due to increasing awareness for the same and rising investments in the field. Genetic testing refers to a process of analysis of human DNA in any of its form or related products such as RNA, chromosomes, DNA and others. Genetic testing is widely used for detection of diseases that are related to genotype, phenotype or mutation. Also, genetic testing is done to detect karyotype for clinical purposes. Popularity of genetic testing is increasing due to various advantages offered by this procedure such as detection of genetic abnormalities in early gestation period of about 8 to 10 weeks. In addition, it also helps to determine the sex the fetus. Genetic testing market is growing at a significant rate due to increasing awareness and discoveries in the field. Of all the tests performed for genetic testing, screening for genetic mutations with Cystic Fibrosis Trans-Membrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene is most widely performed.

Cell based assay refer to a technique of analysis of living cell on the basis of different parameters. Cell based assays are used to measure virtually of cellular or biochemical functions. In cell based assays, functional cells are used as diagnostic tools in research for new drugs. Cell based assays are used by pharmaceutical companies, academic research institutes, biotechnology companies, government institutions, contract research organizations and others. Cell based assays help to measure cell proliferations, motility, toxicity, production of a measurable product and morphology in diagnostics and drug discovery. Cell based assays facilitate research in the area of stem cells, cancer, immunology and others. On the basis of application, cell based assay market can be classified into drug discovery, predictive toxicology, basic research, ADME studies and others.

Energy saving is one of the major concern for state and national governments throughout the globe. Energy loss through lighting has become national concern for the governments. Smart lighting is a new innovation in lighting technology developed for energy efficiency. Smart lighting technology may include efficiency fixtures and automated controls lighting system that make adjustments according to the conditions and requirement of the internal or external environment such as occupancy or availability of daylight. Everyday lighting consumes lot of electrical energy globally accounting for 20-50 % of total energy consumed globally. To reduce the total energy consumption it is essential to use limited electric energy that pertains to certain condition and requirement. Owing to this requirement the market players have come out with innovative lighting system. Smart lighting is a technology which uses intelligent light control system. Factors such as object movement, occupancy, color, temperature and availability of natural light helps the smart lighting technology to perform to the most. Smart lighting technology utilizes lighting control systems that deliver required amount of light when required. Additionally, smart lighting technology evolves the technology which automatically performs various functions at set time and given condition. Smart lighting technology provides highly flexible lighting at very low energy consumption and cost.

Self-cleaning glass also known as low maintenance glass leverages is an innovative dual-action process that involves decomposition of organic dirt on the windows by sunlight; which is later washed away in the rain.

The increasing levels of radiation are leading to harmful effect on human health globally. According to United States Environment Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) radioactive materials produce ionizing radiation on decaying which can damage the living tissues in the human body. The human body tries to repair the damage but sometimes in cases of high severity it fails to repair them which lead to disease such as cancer. The most common forms of ionizing radiation are alpha, beta and gamma.

Paraxylene also known as PX or P-Xylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon compound, derived particularly from benzene. Paraxylene is a colorless, toxic sweet-smelling and highly flammable chemical. It is found naturally in petroleum and coal tar. Paraxylene or P-Xylene is an isomer of xylene compound derived from benzene. Some of the other isomers of xylene include O-xylene and M-xylene. One of the largest applications of paraxylene is found in large scale manufacturing of terephthalic acid for polyester; known as parylene. The production process of paraxylene is one of the most complicated among all the chemicals; simple crystallization of the xylene normally led to complex purification process owing to the formation of eutectic mixtures. It is manufactured by catalytic reforming of petroleum derivative such as naphtha and separated in a series of adsorption or crystallization, distillation, and reaction processes from ethyl benzene, o-xylene and m-xylene. The melting point of Paraxylene is highest among other isomers of xylene.

Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by high blood sugar level. Diabetes is causes due to improper functioning of pancreas that secretes insulin. Diabetes is also known as diabetes mellitus. High blood sugar results into increased thirst, frequent urination and increased hunger. Lack in treatment for diabetes causes several complications such as diabetes ketoacidosis, heart disease, stroke and kidney failures. Insulin infusion therapy is used to treat diabetes. There are three types of diabetes including type1, type 2 and gestational diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is characterized by low production of insulin by body and it is also known as insulin dependent diabetes or juvenile diabetes. Some of the conditions which lead to type 1 diabetes are addisons disease, celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune thyroid disease. Type 2 diabetes are most common type of diabetes and is predominant in overweight and obsessed people. Pancreatectomy, chronic pancreatitis and cystic fibrosis are some of the condition which leads to type2 diabetes. Diabetes are treated with the help of diabetes drugs such as insulin, metformin and sulphonylureas. Diabetes drugs helps in avoiding complications and managing level of blood glucose. Some of the drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes are metformin, actos, avandia, lantus subcutaneous and invokana. All drugs are administered orally except insulin, exenatide, liraglutide and pramlintide. Insulin is delivered through insulin delivery devices. Some of the insulin delivery devices are infusion pump, intravenous sets, insulin syringe, insulin pen and jet injectors. Long term acting, intermediate acting, short term acting and rapid acting are some of the types of insulin used to treat diabetes.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) refers to an inherited disease that affects secretory glands of body such as lungs, pancreas, liver and intestines. This disease is most common in lungs. Cystic fibrosis leads to abnormal secretions that lead to mucus buildup which result in no proper working of an affected organ. Treatment of cystic fibrosis includes a physical therapy, which helps in loosening of mucus and use of medications and enzymes to fight against infections in an organ. Cystic fibrosis is caused due to mutation in gene that is required for protein cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). CFTR regulates sweat, mucus and body secretions. On the basis of therapeutic products, cystic fibrosis therapeutics market can be segmented into enzymes, antibiotics and others.

Pharmaceutical sector is growing at a significant rate due to increasing prevalence of diseases, growing awareness and rising government initiatives. Injectable drugs refer to the medications that are introduced in to the patient's body with the help of injections. They are injected directly into the blood stream with the help of injectable devices such as syringes and needles. On the basis of their formulations, injectable drugs market can be classified into microspheres, liposomes and nanoparticles.
