Disinfecting is a procedure that uses chemicals/disinfectants to kill germs on surfaces and objects. Some common disinfectants include bleach and alcohol-based solutions. Disinfectants are usually left on target surfaces and objects for a certain period to kill germs. Also, the task of sanitizing can involve either cleaning or disinfecting or both. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), sanitizing refers to lowering the number of germs on the surface to a safe level. The safe level depends on public health standards or requirements at workplaces, such as healthcare facilities. Some common ways of disinfecting and sanitizing include mopping a floor using a mop with disinfectants and water, disinfectant wipes or hand sanitizers, and others.

Diagnostics is an important and integral part of healthcare that is used both for medical examinations and for planning and monitoring the treatment of sick patients. Hematology is one of the basic specialties that forms most tests performed in a routine medical laboratory operation. Hematology tests are one of the most performed diagnostic tests across the globe. The increased research and development have resulted in various diagnostic insights from studying blood. Blood components are seen as markers for various healthcare conditions. This scope is increasing, and many rare blood-related disorders also can be identified using simpler hematology tests. This is driving the demand for new hematology innovations in the market.

Over the past years, cleaning products have become part and parcel of a consumer’s life. Consumer awareness is also growing every year, which is why manufacturers are focusing on elevating the quality of cleaning products with the best possible environmental conditions. Today's consumer is not just concerned about maintaining hygiene or cleanliness at a personal level but also keen on reducing the chances of infections in his/her surroundings. So, to fulfill the hygiene needs at home as well as at commercial places, different ingredients are used in cleaning products.

Degreasers are used to clean various types of equipment and machinery; they are used to clean or remove dirt, dust, and any foreign particles, and can be used for both residential or industrial purposes. Industrial degreasers are used to clean motor parts, machinery, and heavy equipment that are used in various end-user industries. They are powerful solvents that can handle numerous types of manufacturing parts, components, and heavy machinery. Hazardous substances such as paints, grime, grease, oil, lubricants, dirt, dust, corrosion, and sticky films that get accumulated over machines can easily be removed by using industrial degreasers. Industrial degreasers will remove these foreign particles as well as increase the shelf life of machines or equipment.

The global luxury fashion market is significantly gaining momentum with the rise in the number of high-net-worth individuals worldwide. Also, factors such as the growing popularity of luxury fashion products among millennials and Generation Z, increasing brand loyalty among customers, and growing association of luxury brands with greater social acceptance are driving the market growth. Additionally, the rising adoption of advanced technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) by the fashion industry and the ever-increasing penetration of digital channels across developing markets are providing significant growth opportunities for vendors in the market.

Technological advances have contributed to the development of several tools and machines used across industries. The adoption of power tools such as industrial nailers and staplers is outpacing conventional hand tools in professional and other segments due to the demand for higher efficiency. For example, the construction industry experiences high pressure due to the launch of innovative tools that reduce human effort. The surge in the number of infrastructure development and construction projects is expected to offer tremendous opportunities to vendors in the global industrial nailers and staplers market, which will also drive innovations in the future. The rise in manual labor costs and home improvement activities and DIY projects has also accelerated the demand for user-friendly tools.

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. The COVID-19 pandemic is driving the demand for various PPE materials in healthcare settings. An important PPE material that is largely in demand during the pandemic, pre-pandemic, and post-pandemic, is medical face masks. This is one of the most essential materials used in various healthcare settings from hospitals, labs, research centers, ambulatory surgical centers, long-term care facilities, clinics, and more.

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.

A membrane bioreactor works on an advanced wastewater treatment technology, which integrates membrane separation with biological wastewater treatment. It is a combination of a suspended growth biological treatment method and an activated sludge, including membrane filtration equipment, usually low-pressure ultrafiltration (UF) or microfiltration (MF) membranes. The membranes are used to execute the critical solid-liquid separation function. In activated sludge systems, this is usually achieved using tertiary and secondary clarifiers along with tertiary filtration. The two common types of membrane bioreactor systems are gravity-driven or vacuum and pressure-driven systems. Gravity-driven or vacuum bioreactors are immersed and usually use flat sheet or hollow fiber membranes installed in either the bioreactor or subsequent membrane tank. Pressure-driven systems are in-pipe cartridge systems situated on the exterior of the bioreactor.

Oleochemicals are chemicals derived from plant and animal oils. Oleochemicals include the formation of basic oleochemical substances like fatty acids, fatty alcohols, glycerine, methyl esters, and others. Intermediate chemical substances produced from the basic oleochemical substances include alcohol ethoxylates, alcohol sulfates, alcohol ether sulfates, quaternary ammonium salts, monoacylglycerols, diacylglycerols, structured triacylglycerols, sugar esters, and other oleochemical products. Oleochemicals are biodegradable, eco-friendly, and less toxic. The major oleochemicals are fatty acids, fatty alcohols, methyl esters, and glycerines, which are referred to as basic oleochemicals.
