Healthy sex life is a human aspect that has a massive impact on one’s overall wellness. Continuous efforts are being made to spread the awareness of sexual wellness. With end-users getting more educated, along with incremental advancements in technology enabling people to explore the healthy aspects of their sexual life, the concept of sexual wellness has started to achieve significant recognition worldwide.

Intravenous (IV) therapy helps to deliver medications, fluids, and other nutrients directly into the body through veins. IV therapy is used during lifesaving therapeutic treatment and in wellness treatment. Since ancient times, blood therapy has been around, and blood has been viewed as a therapeutic substance. However, lack of proper understanding of blood types, infectious agents, and the absence of ideal materials such as plastics held back IV therapy for centuries. Later, IV therapy became the fastest way of delivering blood products, medications, vitamins, or other vital fluids. IV therapy is usually provided to the patient with the help of an intravenous catheter, either through an injection with a syringe or infusion.

Immunotherapies help in harnessing the body’s immune system to target and destroy cancer. For the past few decades, immunotherapies have been used for the treatment of cancer, and continuous research is going on for further studies. There are four types of immunotherapies (cell-based) that are currently in use, and they are illustrated as follows.

According to BIS Research, next-generation oncology devices and solutions comprise devices and software leveraging emerging technologies to aid in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of various types of cancer. Emerging technologies refer to technologies that are novel, minimally invasive, and are capable of specifically targeting the tumor cells while sparing healthy tissue.

The prevalence of several chronic diseases worldwide and the launch of sophisticated technologies and treatments have contributed to a rapid increase in healthcare expenses. Additionally, patients nowadays expect high-quality care at an affordable cost. Thus, it has become imperative for players in the healthcare industry to reduce the cost of their healthcare services while providing high-quality care to patients. Efficient healthcare logistics services provide a remarkable opportunity for controlling healthcare costs through the implementation of best practices. Moreover, the need for an effective flow of materials and information has been evident throughout history. In the healthcare business, materials and goods are always on the move. Hospitals and healthcare centers have huge central warehouses, small parts storage units, and everything in between. In healthcare warehousing, the biggest challenges entail supervising products with due dates, optimizing item titles, and enhancing processes while ordering supplies. Proper inventory management and the smooth movement of necessary healthcare products within the hospital premises may result in considerable savings instead of frequent new product orders.

Endoscopy: According to the National Cancer Institute endoscopy is defined as “a procedure that uses an endoscope to examine the inside of the body. An endoscope is a thin, tube-like instrument with a light and a lens for viewing. It may also have a tool to remove tissue to be checked under a microscope for signs of disease.”  Capsule Endoscopy: According to Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMER), capsule endoscopy is defined as, “a procedure that uses a tiny wireless camera to take pictures of your digestive tract. A capsule endoscopy camera sits inside a vitamin-size capsule you swallow. As the capsule travels through your digestive tract, the camera takes thousands of pictures that are transmitted to a recorder you wear on a belt around your waist’.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) includes various products like gloves, face masks, surgical gowns, and more. There is always a huge demand for PPE materials across the globe due to the developing healthcare infrastructure in developing countries and the increased requirement for safety measures in healthcare setups. In a few cases, the demand for PPEs is due to exceptional factors like disease outbreaks, pandemics, and epidemics. The world is exposed to multiple outbreaks and other disastrous infections. One such event occurred in 2019, which started as a simple respiratory infection, and later spread to more than 190 countries and killed millions of people across the globe.

Immunotherapy, a non-traditional treatment, has become a prominent approach for treating many diseases, especially cancer, because it provides superior efficacy and safety. During this era of precision medicine and effective immunotherapies, the necessity for rapid and efficient antineoplastic development has never been greater. Biologics or biologic drugs are derived from living organisms and have proved to be a cure for several chronic conditions that were previously considered untreatable.

Oral health is a vital part of overall general health, and therefore, good oral health is indicative of overall wellness. Most diseases start from the oral site and spread to the entire body. Although some of these oral infections are preventable, some are not, and therefore, taking care of oral health is of paramount importance. The lack of proper oral hygiene accelerates the growth of microbes and causes various dental disorders, such as halitosis and dental caries.

Technology plays a very important role in the healthcare and medical fields. Several technological equipment and devices such as digital thermometers, insulin pumps, smart inhaler pulse oximeters, blood glucose meters, wireless brain sensors have been designed for better healthcare. In the medical field, over 500,000 technological devices are being used in hospital settings and various other healthcare facilities. With growing technology in healthcare, there have been advancements in Internet of Things (IoT) and sensors that improve patient safety, information accuracy, and critical quality control. Healthcare technology has the potential to improve the use of sensors in the medical sector.

凭借新冠疫情中对于mRNA技术的优异表现，新一代的mRNA药物逐步进入产业化验证阶段。mRNA发展方向主要为自复制mRNA及环状mRNA。从目前2022年1-7月创新药IND受理数来看，整体受理数同比基本维持稳定，化药与生物药区别度进一步加大，化药IND申请数同比下降8%，生物药IND申请数同比增加21%。其中ADC，干细胞疗法及基因疗法IND受理数同比增加42%，43%及133%，行业整体向高技术壁垒的新兴创新药种类发展，呈现高质量发展态势。

新冠疫情给行业发展带来新机遇，重磅品种将持续驱动行业增长。随着2020 年底以来多款新冠疫苗在全球范围内开展大规模接种，2021 年全球及中国疫苗的市场规模均实现快速增长，同时疫情也通过加速技术创新，提升全民认知度等方面给疫苗行业带来了新的发展机遇。新冠疫苗接种逐步常态化后，全球及中国疫苗市场或将重新回归重磅品种驱动增长的路径，在我国目前的非免疫规划疫苗中，多种新型疫苗和多联多价疫苗（如HPV 疫苗、多联苗、13 价肺炎结合疫苗、四价流感疫苗、三代狂犬疫苗等）正处于快速放量期，随着未来几年国产高价HPV 疫苗、带状疱疹疫苗、三联苗的陆续上市，13 价肺炎结合疫苗、三代狂犬疫苗、四价流感疫苗获批企业数量的增加，我国疫苗行业有望持续增长。

2020年我国儿童青少年总体近视率为52.7%，根据Frost & Sullivan 预测，预计2020年年我国20岁以下近视患者会达到1.7亿人, 近视患者总体数量会达到7亿人，随着视光行业利好政策不断释放以及近视防控产品、技术不断升级中国视光服务市场规模前景广阔。目前我国屈光、白内障手术渗透率较发达国家仍存在较大差距，位于低位，具备提升空间，预计在消费升级、术式升级等趋势下将逐步实现量价齐升。
