Silica is the most abundant mineral found in the earth's crust. Silica is a chemical compound, generally known as silicon dioxide (SiO₂). Silica is commonly found in the form of quartz in nature. Silicon dioxide is typically procured by mining and refinement of quartz. Silica-based products can be categorized into four major products: precipitated silica, colloidal silica, fumed silica, and silica gel. Each of the silica-based products has its own industrial applications.

Ba29sed on the target market and product pricing, the beauty products industry can be divided into two broad categories: mass beauty care and premium beauty care. While the mass category is targeted at the middle- and lower-income class (C, C-/D+, and D/E class) population, the premium category is targeted at the upper-income class (A/B and C+) or affluent class of the population.

Biopsy is a clinical procedure primarily used in the detection and extraction of malignant or cancerous cells and their abnormal growth in the body for further analysis and interpretation of diseases. The purpose of removing tissues or cells during the procedure is mainly to limit the spread of tumor, minimize morbidity, and eliminate interference with future treatments.

Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of complications in the internal organs of the body. An endoscope is introduced into the individual's body either through natural cavities or through a small incision. The bronchoscope is an instrument used to visualize the inside airway through mouth or nose to observe the distal branches of the bronchi. This technique helps to observe the pulmonary malignancies from the sample taken through working channels of the bronchoscope. Also, a physician can install radiographic media for bronchographic studies, remove foreign objects, perform laser therapy, perform difficult intubations, and insert catheters.

Patient monitoring systems are used for the measurement of a patient's medical parameters such as heart rate, blood glucose level, blood-oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and other parameters. There are various types of patient monitoring systems, which help in the regular or continuous monitoring of a patient's medical wellbeing. The majority of the patient monitoring systems are connected to life-support devices. The existing patient monitoring systems measure parameters such as invasive and non-invasive blood pressure, dual temperature, oxygen saturation (SPO2), partial carbon dioxide level, and other related parameters. Some of the factors impacting the growth of the patient monitoring systems during the forecast period are use of blood gas analyzers, drug dosage monitoring, real-time patient location system, wearable patient monitoring devices, and telemedicine.

Of the three racket sports discussed in this report, tennis has the highest participation rates. The sale of tennis equipment is related to the number of tennis players and their frequency of playing. Owing to an increase in the number of participants in several small and big tournaments, and an increase in the number of frequent players, the demand for tennis equipment is expected to increase during the forecast period. Several events and tournaments are being organized nowadays, which encourages people to participate in the sport. The growing interest in the sport, frequent replacement of tennis balls and rackets, and an increase in the number of tournaments are among the factors contributing to the growth of tennis equipment market.

The global market for radiation detection and monitoring is expected to be driven by the increasing demand from key end-users such as nuclear power plants and defense and military. The increasing construction of nuclear power plants in developing countries in APAC is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.

Radiography is a technique that uses gamma rays and X-rays to produce images of objects. These images can be used to identify certain deformities or defects that are not visible to the bare eye. The object to be tested is subjected to radiations using a generator, while a film or digital detector is used to take the image of the object. The darker areas on the image indicate high levels of radiation, whereas lighter areas indicate low levels. This is the basic principle for the functioning of radiography equipment. However, newer technologies such as CT, CR, and digital radiography can produce high-quality images in 3D, allowing for better analysis.

In 2015, the global water sports equipment market was dominated by the Americas with a share of 53.47%, followed by Europe with 22.34%, Asia-Pacific (APAC) with 18.22%, and the Middle East and Africa (MEA) with 5.97%. The increase in interest toward water sports in the developing countries of APAC and a rise in the number of water sporting facilities globally are among the key reasons for the growth of the global water sports equipment market.

Ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages need no further processing or very minimal processing just before consumption. RTD green tea is one such example. It is made using the leaves from the plant Camellia sinensis, which go through minimum oxidation during processing. Normally green teas from different countries have different aroma, appearance, and flavor characteristics.
