The general lighting market is the biggest segment in the lighting industry and contributes 75% of total revenue, followed by automotive lighting and backlighting. The general lighting products are used for lighting residential, commercial, industrial, architectural, and outdoor spaces. In 2014, the global luminaire market had a revenue of $58.88 billion and accounted for 55.7% of the total lighting market.

A house filled with sunlight is warm, inviting, and cheery. Sunlight is an elemental part of human existence and a fundamental component of green design. There is strong relation between light and human health. Buildings with abundant daylight help in keeping the human body physically and emotionally healthy. Scientists at the Lighting Research Center (LRC), in Troy, New York, US, have reported that naturally lit homes increase occupant comfort and productivity, and provide the mental and visual stimulation that is necessary to regulate human circadian rhythms. Natural light also helps in reducing the need to turn on electric lights during the day, thus saving lighting energy consumption by 50-80%. Interior designers and architects plan houses so as to ensure the maximum amount of natural light. However, excessive light can be troublesome and, hence, there should be a proper light balance. Windows cannot be kept wide open all day as this reduces privacy, increases heat gain/loss, and creates glare problems. Window dressing products are helpful to counter such problems.

Feminine hygiene products include sanitary napkins/pads, tampons, panty liners, menstrual cups, douches, intimate wash and sprays, and feminine wipes. Feminine hygiene products are available in both disposable and washable forms. The global feminine hygiene products market is segmented into the following categories.

Semiconductor packages are plastic, metal, and ceramic components that protect the fabricated integrated circuit (IC) on the semiconductor die. They interconnect the die and the printed circuit board (PCB). These packages provide many advantages to semiconductors like reduction in packaging footprints and output signal inductance.Organic substrates are base layers of individual semiconductor devices and ICs on which other layers are deposited to complete the circuit. As these materials are part of the circuit, it is imperative that they are efficient conductors of electricity. Thinner core materials are used to surround them in demanding system applications. A small die (a block of semiconducting material made of silicon or gallium arsenide, with a fabricated circuit) is mounted on the substrate, which connects the input and output terminals from the die to the PCB.

Animal healthcare involves guarding, preserving and preventing disease in and providing necessary veterinary services to animals to enhance their quality of life, increase their lifespan, and increase the yield of animal foods. Animal healthcare includes pharmaceuticals, feed additives, and biologicals. Animal pharmaceuticals include parasiticides, anti-infectives, tablets, and other pharmaceuticals used to treat or prevent disease in animals. Animal medicinal feed additives improve the quality of food for the animal, thereby improving the health of the animal. Animal biologicals include vaccines, immunostimulants, allergens, bacterins, antibodies, antitoxins, diagnostics, toxoids, and antigenic and immunizing components of microorganisms, all of which are used to prevent, diagnose, or cure diseases. These products can be of either natural or synthetic origin.

Contact lenses are used for corrective purposes, therapeutic purposes, and cosmetic purposes. The lenses rectify refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (blurred vision because of the shape of the cornea), and presbyopia (inability to see things that are near). Depending on the material used and the design, contact lens can be spherical contact lenses, multifocal contact lenses or toric contact lenses. The global contact lens market is one of the fastest growing segments of the ophthalmology market. The largest proportion of the market growth comes from the Americas, followed by EMEA and APAC.

Incineration is the process of combustion of organic and harmful substances present in municipal and industrial waste products. Incinerators are not only used as an effective waste management technique but can also be used for the generation of heat and electricity by the combustion of waste. The use of incinerators reduces 70% by mass and 90% by volume of the waste subjected to disposal. Moving grate, rotary kiln, static hearth, static furnace, multiple hearth, and fluidized bed are incinerators used by municipal and industrial sectors for waste disposal.
