A therapeutic vaccine is a biological combination developed to improve immunity by inducing an attack against a diseased cell or tissue. This kind of vaccine differs from the prophylactic vaccine, which is administered to a diseased individual to induce a defense mechanism. There are two approved therapeutic vaccines namely Provenge and Oncophage. A large number of therapeutic vaccines are under clinical development and are expected to be approved for use during the forecast period. In 2013, a large fraction of the growth of the Global Therapeutic Vaccines market stemmed from the Americas, which accounted for 90 percent of the market. The EMEA region accounted for less than 10 percent of the market. While it is expected that the revenue from the APAC region will grow exponentially during the forecast period, owing to increased acceptance of therapeutic vaccines; there are no such approved products in this region currently. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 62.81 percent during the forecast period.

Peripheral I.V. catheters are peripheral venous devices used to infuse medication or fluids directly into a vein, or draw blood samples for testing. These catheters are made of a non-irritant material, such as silicone, which negates any side effects caused when they are left in the patient's arm for several weeks or months. Peripheral I.V. catheters are introduced into the peripheral vein using a needle and fixed to the patient's skin with adhesive tape. The needle is then removed, leaving a small tube of the cannula at the insertion site. Advanced peripheral I.V. catheters are equipped with additional safety features to prevent needlestick injuries, which allow for their use in critical care units in hospitals. The Global Peripheral I.V. Catheter market is growing at a steady pace and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.08 percent during the period 2013-2018. In terms of geographies, the Americas dominated the market in 2013, with the US being its leading revenue contributor because of its high per capita healthcare expenditure. It was followed by the EMEA and APAC regions.
