Marine outboard engines are generally used in powerboats. Almost all powerboats are now equipped with either inboard or outboard engines. The demand for outboard engines is more than inboard engines. In Europe, 80% of the total engines used are outboard engines. In the US, the demand for outboard engines is on the same line as in Europe. In Europe, the demand for diesel engines is more, whereas the American market is dominated by gasoline engines. Another major difference between these markets is that consumers in the European market prefer low power output outboard engines, whereas consumers in the US prefer high power output outboard engines.

Laser refers to light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, which produces a coherent, collimated, and monochromatic beam of light by exciting atoms to a higher energy level. Lasers are distinguished from other light sources by their coherence. Spatial coherence property of laser enables it to stay narrow over great distances and allows it to be focused on a tight spot. As a result of these properties, they are widely used in applications such as laser pointers, laser cutting, and lithography. Lasers are classified based on the type of lasing medium they use such as gas, optical fiber, solid state, and semiconductor.

LFPs (also known as wide-format printers) are printers that support maximum print roll width of 18 inches to 100 inches. The major areas where LFPs find application include print banners, posters, backdrop for theaters, constructional designs, and different other large-format artworks. Most of the LFPs available currently are based on inkjet printing technology. Aqueous, solvent, dye sublimation, UV, and pen/plotters are the technologies used to transfer ink in LFPs. Advances in technology across different components of LFPs, such as ink and working mechanism, are the factors that have enhanced their efficiency and productivity. The global LFPs market is witnessing an increase in demand from application areas, such as advertising, textile, and vehicle wraps, and these are expected to be the key factors driving the market growth during the forecast period.

Adaptive optics technology helps improve the performance of optical systems by decreasing the effect of wavefront distortions. The deformations in the incoming wavefront are corrected by adaptive optics by deforming a mirror to compensate the distortion. 

Acoustic devices have been in commercial use for more than 60 years. The telecom industry is the largest consumer of acoustic devices, accounting for 3 billion filters of acoustic sensors annually. These acoustic sensors are used primarily in mobile phones and base stations.

This report covers the current scenario and prospects of the global amplifier and comparator market during 2016-2021. It considers the use of amplifiers and comparators across different sectors in the market. It also presents the major vendors that manufacture amplifiers and comparators across North America, EMEA, and APAC.

To treat cardiac diseases such as CAD, physicians perform angiography, which requires catheterization to provide diagnostic and therapeutic treatments. Most of the cardiac catheterization procedures involve access through the femoral and radial arteries. Cardiac catheterization through the femoral artery is a traditional procedure, and is preferred by many physicians. However, many physicians are shifting toward radial artery-based catheterization access as traditional procedures have many complications that can even cause death in certain cases.

Oxygen therapy devices are an integral part of respiratory disease management and other diverse therapy areas. The global oxygen therapy devices market has been witnessing continuous technological innovations and developments over the years. The global oxygen therapy devices market is growing at a steady rate and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.90% in the forecast period.

Ophthalmic laser systems are the technologically advanced systems in the field of ophthalmology. These therapeutic and diagnostic devices are used to treat many ophthalmic disorders such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataract, diabetic retinopathy, tumors, glaucoma, retinal disorders, and vision correction issues. These devices, which are MI, offer ophthalmologists with accuracy and precision during surgeries and help in reducing the duration of recovery and hospital stay as well as lower the risk of infections associated with surgeries. The prevalence of ophthalmic disorders such as AMD, cataract, and diabetic retinopathy is on the rise. The availability of advanced ophthalmic laser systems will help treat the rising incidence of these disorders. Eye disorders and vision impairment often lead to chronic and life-long direct and indirect costs, which are likely to increase during the forecast period.

Plastic processing machinery is used to create plastic products using pellets, granules, and powdered forms of raw materials such as resin and crude oil. Industrial plastic processing machinery includes machines such as IMMs, extruders, BMMs, hollow molders, 3D plastic printers, and thermal forming machines. Plastic processing machinery finds applications in industries such as packaging, consumer goods, and construction.
