Hemoglobin A is the most common tetramer protein found in red blood cells. In case of traces of glucose in the bloodstream, the glucose sticks to the hemoglobin, and hemoglobin proteins become glycated. The HbA1c test measures of percentage of glycated hemoglobin in blood over a period of approximately three months (the life-span of an average red blood cell). The test is a good general measure for diabetes care. For a person without diabetes, a typical HbA1c level reading amounts to 5 percent, while the reading is 8 percent or more for patients with poorly controlled diabetes and less than 7 percent for patients with well controlled diabetes. HbA1c testing is a standardized test recommended by physicians for the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, or to test patients who are prone to developing diabetes.The Global Glycated Hemoglobin Testing market is expected to grow at a steady pace during the period 2012–2016. The market was dominated by the Americas in 2012, followed by the EMEA and APAC regions. HbA1c POC testing is the fastest growing segment that is expected to make significant contributions to the revenue of the overall market over the next few years. The Global Advanced Wound Management market is expected to post a CAGR of 10.1 percent during the forecast period.

Blood collection system refers to the method of collection of blood into plastic tubes (rarely glass tubes) called evacuated tubes. Blood may be collected into a tube containing an anticoagulant, which prevents clotting. The blood collected through such a technique retains its properties similar to the one in the body, which can then be used in the whole form when required. Blood collected through such a technique is referred to as Whole Blood Collection. However, apheresis is the process of separating blood into its different components, i.e. platelets, RBCs and plasma. In recent times, manual blood collection systems are being replaced by automated blood collection systems.

Packaging of products is a process of enclosing or protecting products for the purpose of their distribution, storage, sale, and use. It is useful for advertising a product, for protecting against damage during transportation, for persuading any possible buyer as well as to provide the product with an authentic identity. Healthcare products such as pharmaceuticals and medical devices require packaging so they can be safely transported, to maintain sterility, and to prevent breakage or spillage and contamination. Raw materials used for packaging healthcare products include plastic, glass, metal, and paper-based materials.The increasing aging population is leading to a growing demand for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Hence, the Global Healthcare Packaging market is growing at a steady rate. The Americas dominated the market in 2012, which was followed by the EMEA region and the APAC region.
