Enzymes are complex proteins that help accelerate reactions and catalyze biochemical reactions. They increase the reaction rates by lowering the activation energy of the reactants. Small quantities of enzymes are enough to increase the reaction rates up to a million times on account of their specific mode of action. Most of the enzymes are found to function in a narrow set of conditions related to factors such as acidity and temperature. About 2,500 enzymes have been identified that aid more than 3,000 biochemical processes, including assisting metabolism and other vital processes, in humans. Enzymes are primarily classified on the type of reaction they are involved in and the substrate they act upon. Enzymes are commercially obtained from microorganisms, plant, and animal tissues. They are classified as digestive enzymes, food enzymes, and metabolic enzymes on the basis of their function. Food enzymes are enzymes that are used in the food industry. Based on the type, food enzymes are categorized into carbohydrases, proteases, lipases, and others based on the substrate acted upon. They are used in confectioneries, bakery products, beverages, dairy products, convenience foods, and meat and poultry products.

A mobile C-arm is a form of specialized diagnostic equipment that employs overhead X-ray image intensifiers, which aid in the visualization of the anatomical structure using fluoroscopic dyes. It offers safe screening as it is a non-invasive device and allows for rapid diagnosis and treatment. The development of the C-arms increases the emphasis on MIS, leading to reduced hospital stay. Therefore, there will be an increase in sales of C-arm equipment components in the hospital sector during the forecast period. The growing number of ambulatory surgical centres that perform numerous procedures is expected to further increase the demand for mobile C-arms in the market during the forecast period.

Fluorochemicals are chemical compounds that contain fluorine. Fluorine is a highly reactive element and is derived from sources like fluorite (also known as fluorspar), fluorapatite, and cryolite. Fluorine has a number of desirable chemical properties like high electronegativity, and reactivity and tendency to form stable compounds, which make it appropriate for various applications in the industrial, commercial, and medical sectors. It is the most electronegative and the most reactive of all elements. Thus, it readily forms compounds with all elements except the three lighter noble gases (helium, neon, and argon). Another useful property of fluorine is its ability to form strong and stable covalent bonds with carbon, leading to the formation of fluorocarbon, which is the most important type of fluorochemicals. The addition of fluorine or its substituents improves the desirability both in qualities and structure of a wide range of substances including pharmaceutical products, plastics, elastomers, and surfactants.

Foot drop is a gait abnormality, which causes weakness and paralysis of the muscle that lifts the front foot. It may be caused by the disorder of the nerves and might be the result of injuries, stroke or conditions such as multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy. Foot drop usually affects one foot, but sometimes both feet may be affected. It might be temporary or permanent, based on the cause. The peroneal nerve controls the muscles or tendons that lift the foot. The peroneal nerve may be exposed to trauma as it runs just under the skin on the outer side of the knee. The damage to peroneal nerve causes foot drop.

Gastrointestinal disorders include both functional and motility disorders affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Functional disorders involve an abnormality in the working of the gastrointestinal tract. They are the most common type of disorders and present with disturbances in motility, visceral hypersensitivity, changes in the mucosal and immune function, variations in central nervous system processing, and altered gut microbiota. Motility disorders are characterized by changes in the movement of the gastrointestinal tract and the transfer of its contents. Some of the most common gastrointestinal functional and motility disorders include IBS, GERD, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and peptic ulcers.

The healthcare sector operates mostly in critical environments and needs to be extra cautious to ensure zero loss of lives. This has made it imperative that all lifeline equipment is always up and running. To ensure reliability of operation, it is necessary that power supply is uninterrupted. Hence, it becomes mandatory for every facility in the healthcare sector to install or adopt alternative backup power solutions.

Genetic engineering is an advanced technology that modifies chromosomal DNA of animals and plants using molecular scissors (such as restriction enzyme that cut DNA into pieces). Genome engineering is now in the forefront of healthcare gaining traction with its use to fight diseases such as cancer, HIV, Malaria, sickle cell diseases. Pharma companies have entered this field to develop personalized medicines which can cure diseases more efficiently. For instance, in June 2014, Pfizer announced a collaboration with Cellectis, to develop a chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART-T cell) for anticancer immunotherapies.

FPS are offshore production facilities that are used for the production of hydrocarbons. The process involved separates oil, water, gas, sand, and so on, and distributes the yields to storage, disposal, or transportation facilities. FPS are an essential component required for offshore oil and gas developments. FPS are used for drilling and exploration activities in offshore oil and gas production at various water depths. Main types of FPS include FPSO, production semisubmersibles, TLP, SPARS, and others. Globally, the most common types of FPS units are FPSOs. FPSOs are ship-shaped vessels, which have a processing equipment and hydrocarbon storage capabilities. After processing, an FPSO stores oil or gas before unloading to shuttle tankers or transporting hydrocarbons through pipelines.

The demand for flavored milk is expected to increase during the forecast period mainly due to the fact that flavored milk is increasingly being preferred as a drink to be consumed after workout sessions. Researches have shown that chocolate milk contains the perfect ratio of carbohydrate to protein to hasten the recovery after an intense workout. Some of the famous sports personalities such as Mo Farah prefer chocolate milk after races and intense training sessions. The US Olympic swimming team also prefers chocolate milk after training sessions. There are other factors that will drive the growth of the market such as increasing investments by players, increasing milk production, and increasing mergers and acquisitions in the market.
