A fuel injection system is used in various automobile engines (gasoline engine & diesel engines) of light and heavy vehicles. The growth of global automotive industry is one of the major macro factors driving the market for fuel injection system. A fuel injection system is formed by assembling various components, and ensures proper flow of fuel into the engine. Constant technological up-gradation helps in finding new value added services for fuel injection systems.

The global home medical equipment consumption pattern will depend on demographic and epidemiological development. Increased efforts in the fight against chronic illnesses such as respiratory diseases, kidney disorders, and cancer will boost the demand for home therapeutic devices. Products such as portable oxygen concentrators, continuous positive airway products, ventilators, and other accessories will undergo the fastest growth in sales in this market. Increasing numbers of baby boomers and an increase in the population of aged people on a global scale will also assist in the growth of this market.

The generic drugs industry comprises of the manufacture and marketing of certain drugs which have the same active ingredients as the brand-name drugs manufactured by any pharmaceutical company. The major benefit of generic drugs is that the cost of such drugs is much less than that of branded drugs. Generic drugs come under the same governing framework as that of the brand-name drugs. The rationale behind generic drugs is that the patented drugs generally have a patent life of 20 years. However, the patent life of such drugs begins from the clinical trials and thus their commercial life is far less (approximately 15 years). After the patent expiry the manufacturers of such drugs face intense pricing pressure because of the competition from their cheap generic counterparts.

Energy is one of the most important factors in each and every industry.. The per capita energy consumed in 2009 accounted to 1,790 kg as reported by the World Bank. The energy consumption market can be segmented into white goods, consumer electronics, and general illumination in residential and commercial premises. Innovations such as induction cooking and rising natural gas and oil prices are expanding the energy consumption market. The innovation of electric and hybrid cars is also facilitating new opportunities for the market.

Depression is considered as one of the most common forms of psychiatric disorders. Depression is a disabling condition that not only affects the health and wellbeing of the patient but also adversely affects the family. Every year the prevalence of depression is rapidly increasing across the world. Anxiety is a reaction to stress. Normally, it is characterized as an urge to deal with adverse situations. However, extreme levels of anxiety may be called anxiety disorder. This disorder is characterized on the basis of the behavior of the individual.

Geothermal energy is a type of heat energy that is produced in the earth’s core. This energy is utilized in a wide range of applications from power stations to simple pumping systems. Geothermal energy is considered as a renewable source of energy since the water which is captured in the form of heat while extracting geothermal energy is continuously replenished by rainfall and again the heat generated from it can be used. A major concentration of geothermal energy on the planet is in the area bordering the Pacific Ocean and is called the Ring of Fire.

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a process which is performed in high vacuum at a very high temperature that is around 200 to 500 degree Celsius. PVD is commonly used for coating processes and also to enhance the properties of components and materials in order to improve their performance and behavior. Nano technologies and material science are some of the new technologies that are important for thin film coatings. PVD techniques are widely used in electronics, computer industry, tools and dies.

Friction is the resistive force between two contacts that stop the objects from sliding. Friction occurs between all three forms of materials such as solid objects, gases and liquids. Fluid friction is the friction between liquids. Friction materials are used to enhance the performance of vehicles, their efficiency and appearance. Major application areas of friction products and materials are light trucks, aircrafts, railways, passenger cars, commercial vehicles in addition to other industrial applications.

Yeast is one of the most commonly used microorganisms in the manufacturing of food and beverages. Yeast is used in the process of fermentation for its abilities in aiding carbon - release, imparting better aroma, taste, texture, and flavor to food. Yeast is considered as one of the most consistent fermenting agents in spite of various other chemical fermentation agents available in the market.

The global market for smart water management technologies is seeing rising demand, largely fuelled by growing water shortage problems. Growing incidences of drought, scarcity of potable water and high costs of water purification systems are driving the demand for advanced technologies in the industry in order to meet the rising demand. Although the market is still in its fledgling stage, the government’s emphasis on increasing the awareness among people and organizations towards water management and prevention of wastages is expected to further boost the market growth.
