The geriatric population is more prone to the development of pressure ulcers. The pressure relief devices market is grouped into low-tech devices and high-tech devices, based on device type.

Patient warming systems assist the healthcare professional prevent unintentional hypothermia and related complications. There are various types of patient warming systems, including in-line intravascular warming systems, surface warming systems, and cabinet systems. The intravascular warming systems are used for acute care and perioperative care in operating rooms, ICUs, emergency rooms, recovery rooms, and preoperative care units. In many cases, anesthesia provided to patients before surgery makes their body temperature low.

The automotive V2X market is in its nascent stageand offers immense scope for growth. The rising need for lesser traffic congestion, lower fuel wastage, and safer roads, has led to the need for an intelligent transportation system, where vehicles can continuously interact with each other and road-side infrastructure, facilitating the flow of reliable information about the present traffic conditions across the entire network. 

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancer and has surpassed breast cancer, moving from the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the U.S. to the third position. According to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, in 2016, it was estimated that in the coming years, 53,070 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and 41,780 will die from the disease. While the overall cancer-related deaths are decreasing, mortality rates associated with pancreatic cancer are constantly increasing.

Mostly, women and men have similar healthcare needs and challenges. Nevertheless, women need special attention during pregnancy and prenatal stages as they face comparatively more problems than men. The women’s health issues are mainly increasing in emerging countries and need to be addressed by attention from caregivers. Thus, rehabilitation is essential for women to live a healthier life. 

Rising awareness toward reducing greenhouse emissions in the manufacturing sector is expected to play a crucial role in shrinking the market for synthetic-based chemicals. As a result, manufacturing units operating in the automotive, construction, packaging, and electronics sectors are expected to promote the usage of biopolymers including bio-based PET over the forecast period.

Carbon dioxide is an odorless and colorless gas. The gas is a naturally occurring chemical which is usually released by the actions of nature including hot geysers & springs, and volcanoes. Carbon dioxide is soluble in water and is also present in various water bodies including groundwater, ice caps, lakes, seawater and glaciers and rivers.

Globally, around 5.5. billions of gallons of glycols are produced every year and are growing at the rate of approximately 200 million gallons per year. North America consumes a fifth of the total production. Increasing demand from end-use industries, mainly for manufacturing polyester fabric and plastic bottles is boosting production of diols in the world.

Medical equipment sterilization is one of the most significant procedures in hospitals, laboratories, and other medical institutions. Hospitals are quite prone to various microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses that can cause serious health complications to patients. With usage of non-sterilized instruments, there is a very high chance of transmission of a disease from one patient to another, leading to various hospital-acquired infections.

Dialysis has been used since the late 1800s to help patients recycle the waste produced, thereby prolonging their lives. Since then, it has witnessed rapid advancements in technologies. However, it has been observed that there is higher market share for hemodialysis over peritoneal dialysis constantly.

Breathable antimicrobial coatings are special coatings which are treated with antimicrobial technology either during the manufacturing or after the production of the coatings. These not only provide protection against microorganisms but also provide high-level water resistance.

Construction films are versatile & economical plastic films, widely used for protection and storage of materials, personnel and construction equipment. These films are increasingly being utilized in roofing, waterproofing, flooring & insulation, cladding and reinforcement.

Paraffin wax is a colorless or white soft solid derived from petroleum, coal, and oil shale. These products find use in candle making, packaging, cosmetics, hot melt adhesives, rubber, board sizing, children’s crayons, and toys. Rising living standards coupled with the need for maintenance of home hygiene are expected to drive the demand for fragrance products such as candles, which in turn will fuel industry growth over the next nine years.

Tighter healthcare budgets and continuous patient monitoring increases unnecessary costs. This can be tackled by spot-checking using a portable pulse oximeter. Readmission is a major problem faced by patients suffering chronic diseases such as COPD and is estimated to cost around USD 25 billion annually. This creates a high demand for oximeters that can monitor the patient’s condition and remotely send the data to doctor.

Digital therapeutics comes in the form of a digital systems like mobile applications, software applications or devices. The target group for the medical applications are chronically ill people, health & fitness conscious people, physicians, hospitals, and health insurance companies. The creators of digital therapeutic applications are exploring a niche market and are currently concentrating on making their offerings exclusive and innovative compared to their rivals. According to research data & statistics, approximately 57% of new app developers are struggling to make an impact on the market. 

Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) is used to reduce the morbidity during operative manipulations. It detects changes in the spine, brain, & peripheral nerves, which can be avoided before the damage is irreversible. It is also used for localizing anatomical structures aiding the dissection. Surgeons are trained to incorporate IONM in their procedures. Technologists also assist neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons during the surgeries.

Rising hospital-acquired infection is the major reason for mortality and morbidity in the developed nations. It was observed that the incidence of patient-to-patient cross-contamination is greater via use of 12-lead systems due to outbreak of Serratia marcescens bacteria in patients after cardiac surgery. The use of disposable lead wires (LWs) has a direct impact on the cost reduction associated with cross-contamination as compared to reusable LWs.
