Transparency Market Research’s report on the interventional cardiology devices market offers comprehensive data with regard to the size, growth, and forecast of this market. The minimally invasive techniques used for treating coronary blockages are known as interventional cardiology procedures. Catheter based techniques like valvuloplasty, coronary thrombectomy, and angioplasty that are used for treating structural heart anomalies are known as interventional cardiology procedures.

Electrophysiology devices are used to diagnose, evaluate, and treat electrical activities of the heart. The market for electrophysiology devices has witnessed significant growth in recent years owing to increasing incidences of cardiac arrhythmias. Electrophysiology devices find a wide-range of applications in the assessment and management of arrhythmias and comprise all those devices that are used for the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, retinal disorders, and atrial flutter.

Contrast media is utilized in medical imaging technique in order to highlight and visualize the specific parts of the body. These are the substances that enhance the visual images generated by medical diagnostics instruments such as magnetic resonance, computed tomography, x-ray, ultrasound and others. Contrast media also improves the contrast of images created by CT-scan, x-ray, magnetic resonance imaging and others. Contrast media enables to provide more precise diagnoses of patients. These media can either be injected intravenously or swallowed to enhance the contrast images of body parts and structures. In addition, these injectors increase the patient safety and thus achieve high quality standard assurance.

Biomarkers also known as biological markers are characteristics that are measured in order to assess and predict biological condition of the body and thus help physicians in clinical decision making. Some major diseases which are diagnosed by using biomarkers include diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular and central nervous system diseases. Biomarkers play critical role in identifying and accurate diagnosis of these diseases at early stage and provide better treatment option. Imaging biomarkers can be classified as diagnostic biomarkers, monitoring biomarkers and predictive biomarkers. Diagnostic biomarkers are helpful in predicting a patient’s exact clinical outcome. Monitoring biomarkers provides clinical outcome of a patient after intake of a particular drug while predictive biomarkers help in predicting if a specific drug is likely to change clinical outcome of a patient.

According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "Equine Healthcare Market (Diagnostic Products, Therapeutic Products and Supplement Products) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019" the global equine healthcare market was valued at USD 26.6 billion in 2012 and is expected to decline at a CAGR of -1.2% from 2013 to 2019, to reach an estimated value of USD 24.5 billion in 2019.

The growing need to reduce carbon emissions as well as improve the operating efficiency of the power plant has led to the widespread adoption of supercritical boilers. This technology provides high steam temperature and improved pressure parameters to achieve the desired efficiency of the power plant. Low fuel consumption is a direct consequence of installing efficient systems such as supercritical boilers, which in turn leads to increased profitability margins and better utilization of resources. Despite of the environmental concerns the need for coal as a source of power generation is continuously increasing at a steady pace. The demand for high-efficiency pulverized coal supercritical boilers, which reduces carbon emissions, is increasing as a result of the environmental concerns. Current market conditions demand highly efficient systems which are designed for rapid response times. Supercritical boilers have the ability to respond and adjust to market conditions which makes these systems important. The rapid industrialization and government development programmes will accelerate the market growth of supercritical boilers in developing economies, in the future.

Escalating demand for energy along with the need for oil and gas monitoring in underwater application is expected to drive growth in global underwater monitoring systems for oil and gas market. Rising application of underwater monitoring system in deepwater monitoring is likely to augment the growth in the global underwater monitoring systems market. Complexity in the operation and maintenance of the subsea pipelines is anticipated to further boost the demand for underwater monitoring system for oil and gas market.

The prime function of dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is to reduce the voltage sags on power lines that supply power to sensitive equipments. The DVR is principally accountable for restoring the quality of voltage supplied to the end-user in case the voltage from the supply is not suitable to be used for sensitive devices. DVR allow consumers to isolate and protect devices from disturbances developed by sags and swells on the distribution network or power lines. Additionally, DVRs can also be used to address the trouble of harmonics generated by non-linear load in manufacturing machinery setup.

The global market for advanced energy storage systems consists of wide range of technologies at different maturity levels. The landscape of market comprises of companies from start-ups to multinational companies and due to varied technological spectrum, the contraction or expansion of the global advanced energy storage market is affected by the impacts of country’s policies and economic situations. According to the International Energy Outlook 2013, the world energy consumption will grow by 56% between 2010 and 2040. This growth in demand for electricity has to be matched with increased generation capacity and changing demand peaks, thereby making energy storage essential criteria in the entire energy system. Also, the energy conservation policies are shifting the interest from fossil energy to alternative energy which will further augment the market for advanced energy storage system.
