The countertop model of the meat grinder and mincer is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The global countertop meat grinder and mincer segment will experience a CAGR of 7.77% from 2016 to 2021. The compact design and improved features of the countertop meat grinder and mincer models have propelled the growth of this segment. For instance, some of the vendors such as Hobart, Sirman, and Minerva Omega group are providing high-quality products with improved features, which include a reverse switch for reducing the jamming. Some of the vendors are also providing ventilated motors to improve the air circulation inside the motor chamber, which reduces burnouts in the meat grinder and mincer.

Conduction, radiation, natural, forced convection, and thermal storage are the five thermal processes that take place in a micro speaker. Conduction refers to the transfer of heat from a hot source to a colder sink via a physical path. In a micro speaker, heat is conducted from the voice coil. The conduction takes place in the air gap in between the magnet, voice coil, and the magnet circuitry. Radiation transfers the heat through emission at a higher temperature. The general working temperature of a micro speaker is below 212̊ F. At lower frequencies, the micro speaker membrane motion forces the heat and the air from the speaker to the ambience via the ventilation holes. Thus, the membrane pumps the air in and out of the micro speaker.

Medical laser systems serve a wide variety of medical treatment fields from dermatology, ophthalmology, gynecology, and urology. The launch of a wide range of surgical and aesthetic laser treatments has led to several medical laser procedures being performed every day. The advances in medical laser technology have helped vendors to develop cost-effective photonic solutions, including beam delivery components, and designs of laser systems.

Medical imaging is the process of creating visual representations of the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention. Medical imaging is performed to reveal the internal structures hidden by the skin and bones to examine and diagnose the medical condition. It plays a vital role not only in diagnosis but also in the treatment process as it is taken into consideration during the follow-up of various diseases. Various methods for medical imaging include X-rays, SPECT/PET, ultrasound, CT, and MRI. For the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, these methods are used individually or in combination for a better understanding of the medical condition.

A lightning strike carries around 100 million volts of electricity and up to 100,000 amperes of current. Hence, lightning protection systems are critical to ensuring the safety of people and infrastructure. Lightning rods are an important component of any lightning protection system. This metallic rod serves as the initial point of lightning strike. The global market for lightning rods is expected to be driven by the increasing demand from industrial end-users such as power plants, manufacturing plants, and oil and gas plants. The increasing consumption of lightning rods in commercial buildings due to the increasing use of sensitive, smart devices is another key factor driving the growth of the market.

Since the invention of the first light bulb by Thomas Alva Edison in 1879, the lighting industry has gone through a series of technological advances. The discovery of Geissler tube in the early 19th century led to the development of fluorescent lights. Now, LED lighting, a kind of solid-state lighting, uses a semiconductor to convert electricity into light and can emit light in a specific direction. It is penetrating the market at a very high rate.

The global lock market covers the safety and security aspects of residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. Locks are offered in mechanical and electronical forms. The global lock market has been witnessing growth across regions due to increasing awareness about high-tech security systems among various end-users. Also, the deployment of smart solutions in developed and developing economies is driving the growth of the global lock market. Increasing security concerns across regions is driving the need for the installation of high-security locking systems in residential and commercial spaces. With the changing technology, vendors offer locks with highly sophisticated security systems. Electronic locking systems are high-tech offerings. Electronic locks are loaded with high-tech features that are integrated electronically to create smart systems.

Transformers need an insulating medium to keep the temperature of the core windings in check as well as act as an arc-quenching medium. Oil is the most widely used type of insulating medium. Transformer oil is used as an insulation and arc-quenching medium in power and distribution transformers. Windings use cellulose insulation that has a strong affinity for oxygen and is immersed in transformer oil to prevent oxidation. Transformer oil is produced by the fractional distillation and subsequent processing of crude oil. It also finds application in circuit breakers and switchgears, which are traditional and use oil as the arc-quenching fluid. The global demand for renovation and expansion of the T&D network is on the rise, mostly triggered by the growing demand for electric power from almost every type of end-user, namely residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

Nanosensors have the capability to measure different kinds of forces and reactions (mechanical, chemical, electromechanical, or biological) due to their compact size. The rising demand for accurate measurements in industries such as healthcare and military and defense have increased the adoption of nanosensors worldwide. The use of nanosensors can revolutionize the healthcare industry. Scientists and researchers across the globe are working on discovering new applications of nanosensors, especially in the healthcare sector. Nanosensors facilitate precision diagnostics and effective care for a number of sensitive health conditions. In the defense and military sector, nanosensors facilitate the efficient monitoring and tracking of operations apart from providing access to remote locations. One of the recent developments in the global nanosensors market is the use of nanosensors that facilitate self-healing of materials in the construction and aviation industries. With large international companies and organizations such as Airbus, OMRON, and MIT conducting research and investing in the global nanosensors market, it is highly likely that the growth prospects of the market will be strong during the forecast period.

Endoscopy is a minimally invasive (MI) medical procedure that is used for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of complications in the internal organs of the body. A neurology endoscopy device, which is a type of endoscope, is inserted into the patient's brain through a small incision. The camera or the light source at the tip of the endoscope allows the physician or medical professional to view the brain and perform complex surgeries. Neurology endoscopy devices are used to perform brain tumor, brain cancer, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke-related surgeries. Brain tumor is one of the most common condition for which there is growing adoption of minimally invasive treatment. Increasing number of brain tumor cases in pediatrics and adults is driving the demand for neurology endoscopy devices in the market.
