The global urinary catheter market features a highly competitive vendor landscape with the presence of a handful of key players that operate globally and several regional players, according to a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). In order to outdo their competitors, several players in the market are investing heavily to develop differentiator products that will further intensify competition, especially among local players. However, parity pricing among these products compels companies to sustain the competition at low-profit margins.

The global HIV/AIDS diagnostics market has a handful of dominant players competing against one another. Competition is moderate in the market on account of a few products being approved for commercial use. In fact, all the products in the U.S. are used only for the purpose of research. Another factor serving to keep competition moderate is the high entry barriers to aspiring players. This is because development of diagnostic kits require a lot of research. Going forward, however, the competition may intensify because of the competitive pricing strategy adopted by key companies.

Transparency Market Research's (TMR) new report on the global culture media market says the degree of competition in this market is high as companies are engaged in consistent breakthroughs and new discoveries for culture media. Nevertheless, the culture media market exhibits a fairly consolidated vendor landscape with top five companies holding close to 60% of the market in 2016.

With the increase of beer consumption across the world, positive lifestyle changes and growing disposable income in the developing countries, the demand of beer has gone up rapidly in recent years. In order to match the jump in demand the producers of beers has focused on brewing enzymes to increase capacity, reduce the time of production , aging of final products and allowed use of raw material alternative to malt i.e. Barley+enzymes.

High pressure processing (HPP), also known as pascalization, is a technology used in the sterilization of a wide range of food products. HPP is a type of freezing pasteurization in which the products are introduced into a container subjected to close to the maximum level of isostatic pressure exerted by water. The high pressure eliminates the bacteria, yeast, molds, parasites, and viruses present in the food, extending the life of the product and guaranteeing its safety.

Metallic glass is an alloy having amorphous or a glassy structure. It is known as an amorphous metal or a glassy metal due to it's likewise appearance. An amorphous solid is the one that is obtained from liquid and does not crystalize on cooling. In an amorphous solid, atoms are packed in a random manner which prevents it from crystallization. The properties of metallic glass resembles that of amorphous solid. A metallic glass is not similar to a normal glass despite its glass-like appearance. Metallic glass has electrical conductivity and is homogeneous in composition unlike normal glass. There are various methods through which a metallic glass can be produced; rapid cooling, ion irradiation, physical vapor deposition, solid-state reaction, mechanical alloying and others.

A foundry produces metal castings from either ferrous or non-ferrous alloys. Iron, aluminum, and copper are the primary metals used for casting. Metals are turned into parts by melting them into liquid, pouring in a mold, and then removing the mold material or casting. Chemicals used in the casting process are known as foundry chemicals. Foundry chemicals are used in metal and metallurgical industries. Foundry chemicals include binders, additive agents, coatings, fluxes, metal feeding aids, and hot topping compounds. Foundries produce metal castings, which are employed in sectors such as automotive, construction, heavy machinery, railways, mining, and steel. These chemicals enable foundries to enhance the quality of castings and improve productivity levels. Different types of foundry chemicals are used for casting purposes.

A high temperature sealant is a substance which is used to block the passage of fluids through a surface or joints in materials. High temperature sealants are emerging as a substitute to adhesives in several manufacturing industries, as they typically have lower strength and higher elongation as compared to adhesives. High temperature sealants are majorly utilized for a variety of metal surfaces such as aluminum, tin, steel, and iron. They are also employed for various applications such as fire protection equipment, installation of ceramic flue liners, jointing vermiculite, construction and high temperature plasterboards.

Fireplace and stove is an equipment made of materials such as brick, stone, or metal to ignite fire, by assuring safety while handling along with keeping the environment warm. It is available in two modes of operation: automated or manual. Fireplace and stove often comes with safety accessories to avoid burns while handling the equipment. The fireplace and stove market varies based on heat efficiency and design. It plays an important role in beautifying the interior of residential and commercial places. These days, through innovation in technology and design of products, fireplace and stove requires less maintenance. The equipment is found to be effective with less consumption of fuel, and a pollution free chamber. It is also eco-friendly. Rising preference for fireplace and stove in interior design and for room warmth in cold regions is expected to increase the demand for fireplace and stove during the forecast period.
