The global IVD instruments market is expected to grow at a steady rate during the forecast period. The factors like increasing older population, rise in incidence and prevalence of chronic diseases and infections are driving the market. Cancer, tuberculosis, malaria, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases are the main factors for the rise in diagnosed population. In addition, increasing public awareness, rapid technological innovations, product approvals from regulatory authorities and launches are expected to positively influence the market growth over the next few years.

HEVs represent the transformation of the global automotive industry. HEVs are an amalgamation of ICE vehicles and electric vehicles (EVs). Currently, traditional ICE vehicles dominate the industry due to their tested and proven engine mechanism, performance, and buyers' preferences.

UTIs are the most common type of HAI that occur after urinary catheterization. The placement of a catheter into the urinary bladder through the urethra to deliver medication and to empty urine is known as catheterization. A healthy urinary bladder is sterile with no harmful micro-organisms or another bacteria present. Although bacteria may surround the urethra, they cannot enter the bladder. However, a catheter can pick up bacteria from the urethra and give them an easy route to enter the bladder, which causes infection. The most common UTI infections are caused by the bacteria present in the intestinal tract. Patients who take antibiotics and with a weak immune system have a high risk for UTI caused by a fungus called candida.

Home-care diagnostics and monitoring devices refer to a wide range of medical products (including heart rate monitors, blood glucose level indicators, and nebulizers), and services, that provide health monitoring, treatment, and physical support to individuals. People need not visit a hospital or any other healthcare facility to benefit from these offerings; they can be accessed with comfort at homes.

A CHP system involves the simultaneous production of electricity and usable heat from a power plant or heat engine in a single, highly efficient process. It captures the energy produced during power generation and puts it to use for commercial and residential heat production. CHP technology is both cost-effective and environment-friendly. A commercial facility can use CHP to provide both heat and power through a single energy-efficient step, instead of purchasing electricity from utilities and separately producing thermal energy from onsite furnaces. CHP technology helps in preventing power losses during transmission and distribution of electricity through national grids or local distribution networks.

A hysteroscope is a device that is used to see inside the uterus during a procedure. It carefully analyses the uterine cavity and detects the cause of infertility. It is also helpful in detecting intrauterine lesions, myomas, malformations, carcinoma, and polyps present inside the uterus. Hysteroscopy also provides treatment for abnormalities and is effective in improving pregnancy rates in sub-fertile women. The reasons for adopting hysteroscopy is due to the prevalence of gynecological problems such as bleeding between periods, after menopause, and after sex. The treatment usually takes 35 to 40 minutes.

Hydrocolloids are a group of long chain polymers that are generally known for their property of forming viscous dispersions and gels when dispersed in water. These polymers are derived naturally from the exudates of trees or bushes, extracts of plants and seaweeds, flours from seeds or grains, and from the gummy slimes from fermentation processes. The presence of a large number of hydroxyl groups in hydrocolloids and in water increases the affinity of hydrocolloids to bind the water molecules and form hydrophilic compounds. They also produce a dispersion which exhibits the properties of a colloid, and is in an intermediate state between a true solution and a suspension.

The word avionics is a combination of aviation and electronics. Both the fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft highly depend on avionic systems, which consists of electromechanical elements and electronic devices for their operations. For instance, the fly-by-wire control system depends on digital computers for its performance. The avionic systems include equipment for communication, cockpit display, control and monitoring, and navigation and other electromechanical systems. The growing number of innovations in technology have also raised the demand for modern avionics as they offer improved reliability and enhanced functioning. Avionic systems provide pilots with critical data such as aircraft altitude, airstream incidence, and air speed with the help of air data sensors, accelerometers, pilots control stick sensor assembly, rate gyros, and other systems.

Flavors and fragrances mainly comprise a class of compounds such as esters, alcohol, acids, lactones, aldehydes, and ketones. These are derived from natural and synthetic compounds and are used to enhance the appeal of consumer goods, and food products and beverages. The global flavors and fragrances market includes flavor blends, fragrance blends, essential oils, and aroma chemicals. The formulation of flavors and fragrances involves mixing and blending of different ingredients.

Packaging machinery is used to package products before they are dispatched to distribution networks and for storage. Packaging machinery are used in the primary and secondary packaging of food, beverage, and pharmaceutical and personal care products. Primary packaging is an important part of the marketing mix as it has a strong impact on the buying decision. In addition, packaging machinery is widely used for filling, labeling, coding, and wrapping products.
