Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, are essential in the human diet for proper growth, development, and good health. These have been found to be particularly good for heart health, joint and inflammation support, eye health, cognitive function, pregnancy and healthy child development, and immune function, among other benefits.  Recently, deaths from cardiovascular diseases have witnessed an increase globally, though mortality rates have decreased. Western Europe and Central Europe are the only two out of 21 regions, where cardiovascular deaths and death rates have declined. Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia have seen increases. A range of complementary life course strategies are available to improve cardiovascular health in both children and adults. Such approaches focus on both improving cardiovascular health among those who currently have less than the optimal levels, and preserving cardiovascular health among those who currently have ideal levels.

The wound management market is currently being driven by factors, such as rising prevalence of the chronic wounds, growing diabetic population, which is leading to the higher number of diabetic foot ulcers, and the raising geriatric population across the world. Few factors are hindering the market growth, which include high cost of the wound care products, along with unfavorable reimbursement scenario across various countries. The market is witnessing continuous advancements in the products and technologies used. Companies, such as Smith & Nephew, Coloplast, Acelity LP Inc., and Molnlycke Health Care AB, hold large market share, especially in the advanced wound dressing and devices segment.

The overall taxi market is becoming competitive majorly due to the rising trend of ride-sharing and ride-hailing services. Ride-sharing is gaining popularity among commuters across the world and the market is expanding at a rapid pace. Today, Uber has established itself as a market leader when it comes to cab-hailing services. The brand is slowly inching into other streams of services as well. Uber is a global leader in the taxi market; however, when it comes to any specific country, global leaders are merging or doing partnerships with the domestic leading companies. For instance, Didi Chuxing, which dominates the Chinese car-hailing services, has taken over Uber’s Chinese operation, strengthening its market share on the mainland and possibly gives it a toehold to expand abroad. Artificial intelligence is expected to step into the world of taxi especially in ride-hailing; for instance, the acquisition of SPLT by Bosch and the partnership that Sony has established with Tokyo taxis are future opportunities. Lots of new players are entering the taxi market by creating their own local Uber-like apps.

The global healthcare industry comprises different players, including hospitals, physicians, diagnostic laboratories, pharmacies, payers, nursing homes, medical device manufacturers, and other components of the healthcare system. The aging population across the globe and the increasing prevalence of acute and chronic diseases are the fundamental drivers that are creating a demand for various healthcare services, medical equipment, and supplies.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible to ensure that the public health and safety ae not compromised through the products that are intended for human and animal consumption. Hence, FDA laid regulations for maintaining the safety of instruments in calibration services.  The FDA has a code of regulations for medical device calibration requirements, which are stated in part 820 of its Quality System Regulation (QSR), Section 72. Title 21 of Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 820.72. This deals with inspection, measuring, and test equipment.  The regulation requirements of FDA for medical device calibration are not for specific measures. The regulations have been designed to ensure that the inspection, measuring, and the test equipment satisfy the intended use and quality requirements. The regulations act as guidelines for the manufacturers and distributors of medical equipment and devices, as they define the procedures, accuracy standards, and frequency of calibration that must be followed for calibrated equipment.

The North America medication adherence packaging market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2019 - 2027. Key factors that are driving growth of the market are rising demand for adherence packaging from patients, rising need to minimize medication wastage and growing initiatives by government. However, the market is estimated to experience slower growth due to the high cost of installation and maintenance for medication packaging systems.

Manufacturing represents sophisticated cooperation among different departments of business, such as procurement, engineering, and quality control. As the globalization has been a common phenomenon, effective management of cross-functioning teams becomes a major challenge for most businesses. Manufacturing execution systems (MES) are made for improving manufacturing accuracy and efficiency. These are process-oriented production management systems that are used for the real-time execution of production plans as well as for getting feedback from the processes. They are generally connected to numerous systems at the process automation level. These comprise traditional data collection and all other procedures that have a real-time effect on the process of production. Manufacturing execution systems is a total solution including software and services to enhance factory automation efficiency. The systems provide complete service on automation of the manufacturing system and procurement system. To satisfy customers’ needs, manufacturers are dedicated to offering high-quality products at affordable prices with in time delivery. Thus, enhancing production quality and efficiency is a critical challenge faced by the manufacturers. The manufacturing process starts with material procurement. When all the materials arrive in the warehouse, the assembly process begins. After the device is assembled and passed through the quality control process, all the qualified goods will move to the packing area. Finally, these goods would be shipped out based on the order details. The accuracy of cost estimation, quality record and analysis, progress control of orders, etc., are the major parameters considered to enhance manufacturing efficiency.

Aquaculture includes farming of fish, aquatic plants, algae, crustaceans, molluscs, and other organisms. Small-scale aquaculture market in developed and developing countries make critical contributions to employment. According to the FAO, aquaculture provides employment to more than over 41 million people globally.
