Moreover, with the rising interest in gardening and lawn care activities, the demand for landscaping services is growing significantly, thereby pushing the demand for pots and planters.

Plastic labware is a set of equipment used to serve the purpose of scientific work, such as developing new drugs and conducting various experiments in research laboratories. In 2022, the labware market was valued at $ 9,940.75 million and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.20%. The increased use of plastic labware in academic & diagnostic institutions, hospitals, and forensic laboratories has recently driven the demand for the same. Moreover, the rising number of research and development laboratories and the increasing demand for plasticware products have driven the global labware market demand. Researchers have shifted to plasticware products since they are lightweight, recyclable, cost-effective, and non-breakable. Government support in pharmaceutical and drug discovery is anticipated to be the major driver for the market growth of the global labware market during the forecast period.

The growth of the global personal protective equipment market can be attributed to various factors, such as heightened awareness of worker safety, growing concerns related to infectious diseases, and the enforcement of strict regulations and guidelines for workplace safety. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a substantial surge in demand for PPE, leading to increased production and sales of PPE products worldwide

The online self-study market has recently experienced exponential growth and transformation, revolutionizing how individuals acquire knowledge and skills. The self-education market is expected to grow as more individuals recognize the value and benefits of lifelong learning, professional development, and personal growth. The industry will likely see further innovation, expansion of course offerings, and the emergence of new platforms and technologies to cater to the evolving needs of learners.

Gambling is an activity where one wagers money or something of value on events with uncertain outcomes. When permitted by the law, gambling is often called gaming in many countries. Consideration, chance, and prize are the three major elements of gambling that need to be present. Some major gambling activities are poker, casino, betting, and lottery.

India’s metal sector plays a pivotal role in fulfilling nation's increasing infrastructure demands and supporting its evolving manufacturing sector. Indian steel consumption is expected to grow strong 9% to 142mt over FY23-25E led by a) GOI’s strong focus on building infrastructure, b) recovering automobile industry volumes with rising affordability and electrification trend, c) rising urbanization driving strong volumes in realty sector and d) increasing private capex utilization across industries. Indian steel companies are expected to add ~22mt of capacities over next two years and drive volume growth. However, near term global demand is muted led by weaker China and developed nations struggling from inflation and higher interest rates, both peaking out. Though coking coal prices are expected to moderate due to improved supply conditions, Iron ore prices are weak and would trend depending upon China’s gradual recovery over next few quarters. As Chinese GDP growth is expected to be stimulus and consumption driven, demand recovery will be slow and steel prices may bottom out as industry is making losses. With curtailed production in 2HFY24, we expect pricing to get support and thereby Indian players would be ultimate beneficiaries of the same.

Metabolomics is an emerging field of scientific research that focuses on the comprehensive study of the metabolic product of a cell, tissue, or organism. It is a branch of systems biology that applies biochemical and analytical techniques to measure and identify the metabolites in a sample of interest. Metabolomics is important for understanding the biochemical mechanisms underlying various physiological processes, pathological disease states, and environmental exposures.

Mechanical and electromechanical locks are well-matured worldwide, and their demand spikes with the adoption of new doors in all buildings. Locks and access control systems have always been standard components in non-residential and residential buildings, including commercial and industrial ones. Locks now have a long-established market. Most standard doors comprise glass panes mounted in wooden or metal frames. The focus is wood, plastic, and glass for internal doors and hardwood, metal, and fiberglass for external and exit doors. Residential buildings have at least one door and more than one window in every room. However, commercial buildings have many doors that enhance the demand for new locks with more new door orders globally.

Gas generators are equipment used to serve the purpose of scientific work, such as in packaging new drugs and conducting various experiments in research laboratories. The increasing usage of several gases in academic & diagnostic institutions, hospitals, and forensic laboratories has driven the demand for the same in recent years. Moreover, the rising number of R&D laboratories and the increasing demand for pharmaceutical products drive the global laboratory gas generators market. Researchers are shifting to gas generators over gas cylinders as these products are lightweight, cost-effective, and convenient. Government support for pharmaceutical and drug discovery is anticipated to be the primary driver for the market growth of the global labware market during the forecast period.
