The sterilization of medical equipment is a vital process within critical healthcare environments to ensure patient safety. Similarly, life science and pharmaceutical laboratories must sterilize their laboratory equipment and supplies to get rid of contaminants. Therefore, healthcare establishments and medical and research laboratories must invest in efficient and reliable sterilization devices to ensure the timely availability of sterile medical equipment and instruments. For instance, critical medical instruments such as urinary and cardiac catheters, surgical instruments, and implants require thorough sterilization before reuse. Also, endoscopes, anesthesia and respiratory equipment, laryngoscope blades, blood pressure cuffs, and bedpans are some semi-critical equipment in healthcare settings that require regular sterilization. Various methods of medical sterilization include high temperature/pressure and chemical processes, which require equipment such as dry heat sterilizers and ovens, UV chambers, steam sterilizers, autoclaves, irradiation products, and stand-alone water treatment systems.

Bioreactors are vessels that are used to manufacture biologics and biosimilars such as peptides, antibodies, vaccines, and pharmaceuticals (using plant or animal cells). Fermenters are used to manufacture acids and alcohols through the fermentation of microbes. Single-use bioreactors and fermenters have witnessed a considerable surge in popularity as they meet the demands of the biopharmaceutical industry and offer higher efficiency and greater flexibility at lower costs. For instance, single-use bioreactors and fermenters are pre-sterilized and can be disposed of after use, which minimizes the chances of cross-contamination.

Silicone lubricants are used for the lubrication of metal and nonmetal surfaces. They are also suitable for rubber, polyvinyl, wood, and other materials. These lubricants also perform well in extreme weather conditions, which include scorching temperatures or freezing conditions. Silicone lubricants are great water repellents and hence protect from rust. However, with technological advances, the lubricant market offers extended benefits, such as reducing the interval for changing oil, increasing equipment life, emitting low carbon, and reducing equipment maintenance costs. The silicone lubricant market has undergone significant changes due to recent developments, evolving needs, and preferences of customers.

Serum-free media is medium type that enables cell culture to be carried out under a controlled set of conditions. There is no requirement of supplementation of serum in the serum-free media as it does not comprise any sort of animal/human serum/plasma as primary components. Some common forms of commercialized serum-free media are xeno-free media, common serum-free media, and chemically-defined media formulations for cell therapy. Companies like STEMCELL Technologies, Lonza Group AG, and Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. manufacture small molecules as media supplements and they are generally easily available, chemically defined, and tunable.

There is substantial growth in the global ride-on lawn mowers market due to the increased demand for equipment from residential and commercial users. The growth in demand is due to the expansion of green acreage. The need for ride-on lawn mowers surges during summer and spring due to the increased time spent on lawncare activities. Moreover, government efforts to expand green acreage through the construction of parks, lawns, and playgrounds push the demand for ride-on lawn mowers in the market. Also, increased interest in gardening and lawn care activities significantly drives the demand for landscaping services, thereby driving the need for equipment from landscaping service providers.

A recreational or pleasure boat is a vehicle built to move in waters close to shores or inland waterways. Leisure vessels are classified as boats used for recreational activities, such as hunting, kayaking, and canoeing, among others. Apart from recreational activities, these vessels are also used for commercial purposes, such as water travel and short-distance freight. The global recreational boat market is witnessing steady growth despite witnessing a drastic decline during the global recession of 2008−2009. However, the market is yet to achieve pre-recession levels in terms of retail sales globally.

Phosphoramidites are modified chemical nucleosides used in oligonucleotide synthesis. Nucleoside phosphoramidites were first discovered in 1981. Before phosphoramidite discovery, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis methodologies were bounded in quality, length, and yield due to inefficacious reactions that produced mutated or truncated oligonucleotides. In addition, due to the inefficient use of extra protecting groups attached to each nucleotide, intermediates catalyzing the synthesis process became highly unstable, predisposing the growing oligonucleotide to damage.

The global pump market is expected to grow over the forecast period. APAC and Europe, followed by North America, are expected to witness significant pump demand. However, the Middle East and Latin America are likely to develop opportunities with the opening of new water management, construction, oil & gas, and mining projects. Major economies, which include APAC, the Middle East, and North America, are expected to take the most competitive industrial initiatives during the forecast period. Moreover, several liquefied natural gases (LNG) and gasto- liquid manufacturing plants are expected to be set up in several countries globally. This will generate a high demand for pumps from the oil & gas sector in the future.

The dynamic cleaning equipment industry has witnessed a paradigm shift over the years in terms of trends and challenges across the globe. The cleaning industry is constantly evolving with micro and macro environmental factors. It is also externally shaped based on the equipment and technology available in the market. With considerable upgrades in business models and operation techniques, the market can witness further traction supported by stringent protocols and corporate policies. Accordingly, pressure washers form an integral component of the cleaning equipment industry and are expected to grow 1.29 times during the forecast period. For battery-powered pressure washers, the contract cleaning market is expected to shape the growth during the next five years.
