The past century has seen the dominance of fossil fuels as the chief source of energy, which sustains the global economic machinery. Among these fuels, the one commodity that has controlled almost all aspects of the energy business is crude oil. Crude oil is defined as a mixture of compounds composed primarily of carbon and hydrogen in varying proportions along with the presence of inorganic compounds such as nitrogen, sulfur, and metals like vanadium and mercury. This crude oil is found in specific rock formations, called reservoirs, in the earth's crust. The depth at which these reservoirs occur can vary significantly. They may vary from pools, which flow up to the surface, to almost 15,000 meters underground. The method that is employed to get to these reservoirs of black gold is drilling through the surface till the pre-defined depth is reached.

Fluoropolymers are fluorocarbon-based polymers formed by strong bonding between carbon and fluorine, which makes them mechanically stable. They are highperformance plastics and are characterized by high resistance to acids, bases, and solvents. Fluoropolymers account for about 20% of all the fluorochemicals available in the market.

Functional foods and beverages are those foods and beverages to which special ingredients are added so that they provide additional health benefits. Regular food items such as cereals, bread, yogurts, snacks, and beverages are converted into functional foods by fortifying them with vitamins, herbs, or other nutrient-rich ingredients.

With the development in technology landscape of FPDs for more than two decades, the FPDs have an expanded base of applications such as laptop, industrial display, TFT-LCD TV, and smartphones. FPD equipment are set of equipment used by FPD manufacturers to manufacture displays for their different product groups. For instance, Samsung uses FPD equipment to manufacture FPDs for products ranging from TVs to smartphones and tablets. The equipment includes CVD systems, sputter systems, etch and ash systems, coater and developers, and array and inspection systems.

First aid kits are an essential part of safety precaution from unexpected injuries during work, traveling, sports and recreational activities. Global market for first aid kits is driven by increasing demand from sports industry. Increasing consumption of first aid kits in commercial buildings and industrial work sites due to the increasing safety regulations and self-awareness regarding health is another key factor driving the growth of the market.

The use of adhesives in the electronics industry has become widespread, and they contribute directly toward the manufacture of electronics products and their long-term operation and longevity. The major uses of adhesives in the electronic industry are bonding of surface-mount components (SMCs), wire tacking and potting, or encapsulating components.

The global life jacket market is driven by a demand from coast guards and government marine agencies globally. Recreation is another key end-user segment, which demands life jacket for activities such as water skiing, fishing, and boating. Strong demand from APAC and European countries contribute significantly to market growth. Inflatable life jackets offered by vendors will contribute to the global life jacket market significantly because of their comfortable and streamlined design that enable easy maneuverability. However, issues with non-compliance due to heavy weight of inherent life jackets leads to inefficiency during work. However, it represents a potential opportunity for vendors to introduce designs with features that provide both comfort and yet protection from accidents in water.
