Gardening is considered a leisure activity and an art form that involves arranging plants in harmony or decorating gardens with several ornamental plants and shrubs to enhance the beauty of homes. Gardening provides physical exercise, mental stimulation, has therapeutic effects, and enhances the quality of life. Though this activity was traditionally prevalent in rural areas, it is increasingly gaining preference among people in towns and cities, primarily because it enhances property values. Outdoor living is a style of life that includes outdoor activities, amenities, and recreation. Outdoor living spaces are decorated with products such as barbeques, furniture, ornaments, garden buildings, and accessories to help individuals relax, converse, and entertain. The Global Gardening and Outdoor Living market is expected to grow steadily at a CAGR of 2.77 percent during the period 2013-2018. Europe dominated the global market in 2013 and accounted for a 37.1 percent share. In terms of category type, the Shrubs, Flowers, and Growing Media segment led the market, contributing a revenue share of 55-57 percent in the same year.

Liquid chromatography systems are used for the purification of biochemical, environmental, and other chemical entities using the principle of separation chemistry. The major compounds that are separated using liquid chromatography are metabolites, proteins, carbohydrates, and salts. Liquid chromatography systems are routinely used in pharmaceutical companies and academic institutes for the commercial production of biopharmaceuticals and analysis of various molecules. As a result of the increased demand for biopharmaceuticals, liquid chromatography systems have been automated and integrated as a unit in small to large laboratories and large commercial companies. As a result, these systems have become an important accessory tool for various research and commercial purposes.

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.

Wood-plastic composites are materials made of wood flour or fiber and plastic resins. These composites contain a certain number of additives that foster the integration of wood and plastic and aid in the manufacturing process. Most wood-plastic composites are manufactured using wood and plastic wastes or recyclates, while others are manufactured using virgin wood and plastic materials. Extrusion is largely employed in their manufacturing process, followed by injection molding. The Global Wood-Plastic Composites market is expected to grow significantly at a CAGR of 9 percent during the forecast period. In 2013, North America dominated the market as a result of product innovations by vendors and increased demand for such products from various industries. North America was followed by Asia and Europe.

Companion diagnostic tests are used to identify suitable patients for administering specific drugs and monitoring the prognosis of drug effects on the disease. This concept of combining a drug with a diagnostic test is known as predictive medicine or personalized medicine. A companion diagnostic test has the ability to predict the risks of the disease and monitor its therapeutic response. The tests enable physicians to make decisions on the type of drugs and dosage administration and thereby reduce the mortality rates associated with diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The demand for companion diagnostic tests is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period. In 2013, the Americas dominated the Global Companion Diagnostics market and it was followed by the EMEA region. Together, these two regions accounted for 90 percent of the market revenue. However, the APAC region is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period because of the increase in the incidence of infectious diseases, the demand for targeted therapeutics, and the increased adoption of diagnostic products. The Global Companion Diagnostics market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.59 percent during the forecast period.

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.

An artificial lift pump is installed in oil wells to increase pressure within the reservoir and encourage oil to move to the surface. Artificial lift pumps are used when the natural force inside the well is not enough to push oil to the surface. Globally, more than 70 percent of oil wells have lost natural pressure and are in their mature phase. Hence they require artificial lift pumps to extract oil and meet the growing demands of the market.
