The ultrasound devices market is segmented into product type, type of device display, device portability, application, and region. By product type, it is segmented into diagnostic ultrasound systems (including 2D imaging systems, 3D & 4D imaging systems, and Doppler imaging), and therapeutic ultrasound systems (including HIFU and ESWL). By type of device display, it is bifurcated into color ultrasound devices and B/W ultrasound devices. By device portability, it is divided into trolley/cart-based ultrasound devices and compact/handheld ultrasound devices. Ultrasound technology finds applications in many clinical areas, namely, radiology/general imaging, cardiology, obstetrics/gynecology, vascular, urology, and other clinical areas such as emergency medicines, anesthesiology, and musculoskeletal.

Cordless vacuum cleaners are electrical appliances that are designed to make the cleaning task more convenient. These vacuum cleaners contribute to increased productivity and save around 50% of the time over manual cleaning. Users no longer struggle with the tangled cord of corded vacuum cleaners, finding power sockets, and changing the socket when the cord does not reach. The cordless vacuum cleaner market is currently growing at a brisk pace considering the current focus of people on cleanliness. North America and Europe are contributing to a larger share of the market, whereas APAC is observing a higher growth rate due to a rise in disposable income, health awareness, etc. Also, adding to the rising trend in APAC, China is the major production base for vacuum cleaners, and vendors are setting up joint ventures in China due to the presence of large numbers of OEMs and ODMs.

Milling is a method of removing excessive or unwanted material from any metal or other objects using rotary cutter. It helps to give the workpiece desired shapes and sizes. The process is performed using milling machines that are either manually controlled or automated or both. In the automatic or semi-automatic type, the operator of the machine programs the machine to perform milling operations automatically. A CNC (computer numerical control) milling machine is a variant of milling machine. The CNC milling machine offers a wide range of procedures that can be used in a variety of end-users industries. Automotive, aerospace, electrical and electronics industries are the major end-users of CNC milling machines owing to the high requirement for precise equipment. Several players in end-user industries are shifting toward automation, which, in turn, has propelled the demand for CNC milling machines. These machines require less human intervention and enable endusers to increase production efficiency and eliminate errors. Therefore, several endusers have switched to autonomous machines and hence the demand for CNC milling machines has increased in recent years.

Chemical or bio-fogging has been prevalent in the market for decades and plays a crucial role in sanitation and disinfection. The progression made in chemical treatment has propelled the growth of fogging machines in the recent past as well. Further, advancements in biocidal technology have helped bypass the challenges and health hazards posed by traditional chemicals and disinfectants. The significance associated with the cleanliness of the business environment has been a major concern for facility managers, where the attention has mostly been on periodic cleaning and disinfection services. Facility managers are also enhancing their capabilities to make the workplace safe and healthy for people.

The escalator cleaning machine market has been witnessing consistent growth over the last few years, and the growth is expected to continue during the forecast period. The growth of automation and robotics in commercial cleaning is reshaping the market, with rising adoption in shopping centers, malls, airports, public utilities, and other high-traffic areas. This professional equipment provides highly efficient cleaning across all sectors. With the increasing adoption of automation, end-users are significantly using technology for cleaning. The use of escalator cleaning machines can greatly reduce the time and manual labor required for cleaning. Moreover, it reduces the downtime for escalators significantly.

In the 1840s, the introduction of ether, a surgical anesthetic, made surgical procedures more common. Initially, general anesthesia was given through a device that covered the nose and mouth of the patient. The concern for aspiration of gastric content was not appreciated, and postoperative pneumonia became a common problem. Trendelenburg (1869) designed the first inflatable cuff, a thin rubber bag that was fitted over the end of a tracheostomy tube. It created a tight seal to prevent aspiration during anesthesia. As an alternate method for tracheostomy, Macewen (1880) suggested passing an oral tube into the trachea to relieve an obstruction. Later, anesthesiologist Franz Kuhn used metal tubes and preferred the oral route over tracheostomy and popularized orotracheal anesthesia.

Advances in technology have led to the development of several tools and machines used across industries. Power tools are outpacing traditional hand tools in the professional and residential segments due to the demand for efficiency. For example, the construction industry experiences high pressure to launch innovative tools that reduce human effort. The surge in the infrastructure and the construction market is a boon to the power tools market that will also enforce innovations in the future. The rise in manual labor costs and home improvement activities, and DIY has pushed the demand for user-friendly tools.

Infectious diseases are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Healthcare facilities across the world are at significant risk of cross-contamination, which can lead to hospital-associated infections (HAIs) in patients. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that around four million patients acquire HAI annually, which leads to around 40,000 mortality cases in patients. However, several advancements in surface treating technologies can help reduce patient exposure to harmful microorganisms.

The global autonomous floor scrubber market is gaining momentum due to the rising demand for effectiveness and efficiency by various commercial and industrial users. Also, high labor costs in developed countries and stringent cleanliness norms in various end-user industries are driving the growth of the market. The popular trend of automation, rising dependence on productivity-enhancing technologies, developments in advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and sensors provide significant growth opportunities for vendors in the market. An autonomous floor scrubber minimizes human intervention in laborious cleaning tasks and saves numerous manual hours, which enables organizations to enhance their overall productivity. In several industries, these machines provide a more ergonomic method of cleaning, thereby ensuring the safety of sanitation workers. Autonomous floor scrubbers are majorly used for cleaning hard floors in various sectors, such as healthcare, warehouse & logistics, manufacturing, retailing, and airports. The continuous expansion of these industries across various countries provides tremendous growth opportunities to vendors in the global autonomous floor scrubber market.

Data center operators are adopting fire suppression systems to offer maximum protection to the facility. In a data center, fire protection can be distinguished by rack level, room level, and building level. The National Fire Protection Association has defined some standards for data center operators across the world. These standards help a variety of facilities with different designs to gain protection for their systems from the threat of a fire.
