Laboratory equipment are used for conducting routine or experimental processes, including advanced workflows in research, quality assurance, and diagnostics. The two types of equipment of utmost importance for these processes include laboratory ovens and freezers.

A number of structural changes such as engine downsizing, electrification of automotive mechanisms, emission regulations, connectivity, and safety features have influenced the automotive industry over the past decade. Economic and regulatory environments and consumer confidence levels have a high impact on this industry.

In recent years, fast-paced urbanization has led to major changes in the lifestyles of people in both developed and developing countries. The rise in disposable income has led to an increase in per capita expenditure, which has, in turn, increased consumers' purchasing power and improved their living standards. Thus, the growing urbanization and per capita expenditure are major drivers contributing to the growth of the global household cleaning tools and supplies market.

Ion implantation is a major process carried out to introduce dopants in a semiconductor. Implanters bombard wafers with foreign atoms to modify material properties such as conductivity or crystal structure. The main part of an implanter system is the beam path, wherein the ions are generated, concentrated, accelerated, and passed at high speed to the wafer. The conductivity of semiconductor devices such as silicon, germanium, and III-VI compounds (e.g., gallium arsenate) is altered by doping them with n or p type dopants. Out of the two methods used for doping semiconductors, diffusion and ion implantation, the diffusion was the most preferred method before the 1970s. However, doping processes by ion implantation are being preferred for IC fabrication currently.

The global hot plate stirrer market will grow steadily at a rate of 6.07% during the forecast period. This is primarily due to the expansion and increase in the number of research and testing facilities worldwide that use laboratory instruments like hot plate stirrers. Also, there is an increase in the number of applications where magnetic stirrers like hot plate stirrers are employed. Hot plate stirrers are widely used in the applications such as heating and stirring of samples in the pharmaceutical industry, and practical science demonstration and experimentation in schools and universities (academic research). These are also increasingly employed in quality control (QC) testing and sample preparation in a broad range of industrial applications. In addition, globally, end-users are upgrading to obtain benefits and advantages offered by the 2017-2021 latest hot plate stirrers or on the compulsion of governing bodies to use latest hot plate stirrers to meet the safety standards.

A memory module may be described as a printed circuit board, on which memory integrated circuits are mounted. These modules permit easy installation and replacement in electronic systems, especially computers such as PCs, workstations, and servers

Globally, lighting accounts for 10%-35% of the total energy bills, which are substantial. Need for energy efficiency in street lighting has been increasing due to rising energy prices and changing climate. This has led to increased adoption of energy-efficient technologies such as light-emitting diode (LED) to replace older street lighting models that use a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) or halogen. The typical cost of a street lighting system for a period of 25 years is approximately split as 85% for maintenance, which includes power supply and replacement cost, and 15% of installation cost. Power prices have continuously increased, and the trend is expected to continue owing to urbanization. The urbanization is leading to the development of new roads, requiring additional street light, thereby increasing the power consumption.

Wakeboarding is a sport where athletes are towed behind a motorboat inside a designated watercourse area. Athletes receive two passes inside the course within which they perform as many tricks as possible by using the wake of the motorboat to launch into the air. It is a surface water sport that involves riding a wakeboard over the surface of a water body. A wakeboard is a small, rectangular in shape, thin board with very little displacement and shoe-like bindings mounted to it. It was developed from a combination of water skiing, snowboarding, and surfing techniques.

The global zinc market is highly fragmented, with primary and secondary smelters accounting for 56% of the market. China is the global leader in the manufacture of zinc in 2016. Other prominent suppliers of zinc are Australia, India, South Korea, Japan, and Central and South America. Hindustan Zinc and Binani Industries are the major zinc manufacturers in India. Even though the smelting capacity is high, the actual supply of zinc is less than the rated capacity due to the increasing depletion of mines. This will negatively impact the zinc supply in Southeast Asia and Europe. Smelters around the world are facing supply deficiency since 2011. This has resulted in a reduction in capacity utilization of the production plants. Capacity expansion will be done on a large scale by smelters in China during the forecast period. Expansion projects such as Greenfield and Brownfield investments will be carried out in countries such as South Korea, Japan, Kazakhstan, and India to increase the smelting capacity.

Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is the consolidated and synchronized management of the methods, processes, and tools that are used by project managers and stakeholders. It helps in planning, executing, managing, controlling, and analyzing current and proposed projects in line with the organization’s strategic objectives. PPM bridges the gap between strategy and execution, thus addressing an organization's objectives and devising efficient methods to achieve its goals. The projects, programs, and operations that are properly aligned with the strategic objectives of an organization allow stakeholders to ensure their accuracy.
