According to the International Classification of Diseases - 10 (ICD-10), vision function is classified into four broad categories - normal vision, moderate vision impairment, severe vision impairment, and blindness. Visual impairment is a broad term, which involves moderate or severe vision loss or complete blindness. It is a global health concern that has a negative impact on both physical and mental health. Preventive blindness, which was considered among common ailments, will soon emerge as a major challenge to the global healthcare system. Blindness and visual impairment necessitate high costs as they not only constitute great productivity loss but also increase the burden on healthcare spending significantly. According to the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB), about 36 million people were categorized as blind, and about 217 million people were estimated to suffer from moderate to severe visual impairment (MVSI) in 2014. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), uncorrected errors, especially myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism, constituted 43% of overall visual impairment cases in 2014.

The global cell & gene therapy market is one of the fastest-growing segments of the global regenerative medicine market. The market is growing at a healthy rate and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. This surge can be attributable to the growing prevalence of various chronic diseases like cancer, cartilage related problems, wounds, diabetic foot ulcer, genetic diseases, and other rare diseases across the globe. For instance, the prevalence of cancer and diabetes is increasing among the global population, and the medical solutions through conventional treatment methods are limited. There is a large unmet need in the treatments available today, and this need is fulfilled by cell & gene therapies. The market is witnessing steady growth due to the increased availability of funding from various public and private institutes. In addition, there is increased support from the regulatory bodies for product approvals and providing fast-track designations to the products, which encourages vendors to manufacture the products at a faster rate. In addition, the government in various major nations is creating awareness about the cell & gene therapy among the population and bringing various strategies to facilitate affordability and payments for these treatments.

The global clinical nutrition market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.40% during the forecast period.

Awareness of personal hygiene and soaring cases COVID-19 propel the demand for hand hygiene solutions, including automatic paper towel dispensers. The market is witnessing high demand from sectors such as healthcare, hospitality, residential, education, corporates, and various government agencies and militaries. The demand for automatic paper towel dispensers from such markets has also grown in countries such as China, Germany, Japan, and India due to the booming commercial real estate, hospitality, corporate, and education markets and a shift in consumer behavior toward personal hygiene in developing countries. The emergence of sensor-based paper towel dispensers will have a positive impact on the market and contribute to its growth over the forecast period.

Currently, Covid-19 has created an opportunity for FMCG companies to launch antimicrobial disinfectants to address changing consumer needs. Also, due to COVID-19, consumers are concerned about hygiene and safe consumption of food products. Earlier, antimicrobial food disinfectants were rarely used in residential and some commercial sectors. Also, cleaning of food products was majorly limited to washing in running or boiled water. However, trends are changing and are expected to change further during the forecast period with respect to more sale of disinfectants due to increase in foodborne illness in different countries.
