Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) is a colorless, volatile, flammable liquid majorly used as fuel component. MTBE is manufactured by catalytic reaction of isobutylene with methanol. MTBE is used as an octane buster in engines. It is also used as oxygenate to increase oxygen in gasoline. MTBE offers good blending properties and reduces the content of formaldehyde and benzene in gasoline. Additionally, it replaces lead compounds enhancing the anti-knocking properties of the fuel. It is also used as a laboratory reagent to extract compounds. It is also used as solvent to dissolve gallstones. Furhermore, it is used as intermediate for methyl methacrylate.

Materials including surfactants, adhesives, polymers, lubricants, food additives, industrial gases, cleaning materials, elastomers and agrichemicals among others are classified as specialty chemicals. Specialty chemicals are materials which as classified under this category based on their performance or function. These chemicals are used in a wide range of industries such as aerospace, automotives, textiles, water treatment, industrial manufacturing, electronics, food and cosmetics among others.

Helium is a colorless, non-toxic, inert, mono-atomic gas. It is colorless and odorless in nature. Its melting points and boiling points are the lowest among all other elements. It exists in the gaseous state in extreme conditions. It is one of the lightest elements and most abundant elements found in nature. The use of helium reduces the distorting effects of temperature variations in space. It is commonly used as a carrier gas in gas chromatography. In addition, it is used in cryogenics. Furthermore, it is used in to cool certain metals required for superconductivity. It is also used in applications such as lasers, nuclear reactors, plasma cleaning, magnetic levitating trains among others.

Ischemic cardiomyopathy is the disease condition that occurs when the main heart muscle gets enlarged and dilated due to weakening of heart muscles. This condition leads to either heart attack or coronary disease leading to narrowing of the arteries. These narrowed arteries inhibit the heart's ability to pump blood and sometimes lead to heart failure. The clinical symptoms of ischemic cardiomyopathy includes shortness of breath, dizziness, extreme fatigue, chest pain and pressure, weight gain, heart palpitations, swelling in legs, insomnia and cough or congestion in lungs. Ischemic cardiomyopathy market can be differentiated through two major prospects namely the diagnostic techniques and treatment methods.

The pancreas, a vital organ plays an important role of producing and secreting key digestive enzymes and hormones required for regulating glucose in the human body. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is characterized by lack of digestive enzymes normally secreted from the pancreas into the digestive track leading to inappropriate digestion of food. Primarily, these digestive enzymes include proteases for protein digestion, lipases for fat digestion and amylases for starch digestion. In addition to these enzymes, several other key digestive enzymes, coenzymes and cofactors are also secreted by a normally functioning human pancreas for effective and efficient digestion and absorption of food. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency to produce these enzymes in sufficient amounts leads to maldigestion and malabsorption. This ultimately hampers growth, immune response and life expectancy. Various diseases are responsible for the cause of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency such as chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, AIDS and cytomegalovirus infections. Other causes include surgical procedures such as extensive small bowel resection, open gastric bypass, and pancreatectomy.

Dental pain, also referred as toothache is characterized by painful sensation in the teeth or its supporting structures which can be caused by a dental disease or a non-dental disease. Most common causes of toothache are dental cavity (pulpitis), gum disease, a damaged filling, tooth decay, tooth fracture, abscessed tooth, apical periodontitis, and alveolar osteitis. Non-dental causes include muscle pain, maxillary sinusitis, angina pectoris, psychological disorders and tumors. Pain on drinking hot or cold beverages, pain during chewing food, sensitivity of teeth, discoloration of the affected tooth, bleeding around a tooth or gums, and swelling around a tooth are some of the major symptoms associated with dental pain.

Claudication is originated from latin word claudicare which means to limp. Claudication refers to pain or cramping in lower leg muscles classically calf muscles due to inadequate blood supply. This condition typically occurs during walking, exercise but subsides after a short period of time. This condition is also termed as intermittent claudication as the pain if felt during the exertion subsidizes with the rest. However, under severe condition the pain is also felt under resting position. Claudication is usually diagnosed in people suffering from peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Peripheral arterial disease is usually caused due to artherosclerosis that results from hardening of arteries due to deposition of cholesterol in the inner lining of the arteries. Blockage of these arteries due to plaque deposition causes low blood flow supply to the muscles in the legs ultimately resulting in decreased blood flow and decreased oxygen supply. Hence, due to inadequate oxygen supply the muscles of leg ache and burn resulting in cramping in the legs.

Cocaine is a type of stimulant and appetite suppressant that can be smoked, injected and snorted. Cocaine is extracted from the leaves of the coca plant. In nature, cocaine acts as a triple reuptake inhibitor (TRI) or serotonin–norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor, which makes it anesthetic, when taken in low doses. Globally, cocaine dependence is a major public health concern and cause of significant mortality and morbidity. Currently, cocaine dependence treatment market is a highly profitable market venture due to the large base of cocaine users and high awareness among people, which makes this industry a highly attractive and profitable market.

Allergic Rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal cavity which causes respiratory problems and affects all age groups. Common symptoms of the disease include sneezing, sore throat, nasal itching and blocked or running nose. The disease often goes unnoticed due to symptoms of the disease coincide with the symptoms of the common cold among humans. Allergic rhinitis can be of three types,such as, perennial, seasonal or both. The allergic rhinitis market can be classified into four major segments based on its treatment, namely, antihistamines, steroids, others and alternative treatment methods.

Tissue engineering and organ regeneration market encompasses those products used in medicine. The application of these new age biomaterials include burn treatment or wound care, orthopaedics, urological products, and neurology products. Engineered cell growth has been present over the past many years with little or no applications in medicine. Recent developments and progress in the field of stem cell technology, cell culture technology and immunopassivation and immunomodulation has provided incredible opportunities to market players. Several cardiovascular applications such as heart valve and myocardial tissue regeneration is also expected to provide excellent sustainability for the growth of the market. Rising cost of organ transplantation, long waiting lines and rising medical applications of 3D printing in tissue and organ regeneration will be the major growth drivers for this market in the near future.
