The prime reason for rising overweight and obese population is sedentary lifestyle, physical inactivity, and rapid growth of fast food industry. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 50.0% of the global population was obese in 2014 and the number is expected to rise.

Orthobiologics includes products that are made of substances that are naturally developed in out body. These are incorporated by orthopedic surgeons for bone and tissue repair. These are increasingly being utilized to treat broken bones and injured ligaments, tendons, and muscles.

Sepsis is a bloodstream & infectious disease that occurs as a result of presence of pathogenic microorganisms in the blood. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the number of patients suffering from sepsis rose from 200,535 in 2007 to 279,530 in 2013.

While there is high demand for measures to minimize the complications in surgeries, including bleeding and unintended tissue cuts, and decrease post-surgery healing time, electrosurgery has proven to efficiently satisfy almost all these needs.

A brain tumor is a mass of tissue that is formed by a growth or accumulation of abnormal cells within or closer to the brain. According to the WHO, there are 120 different types of brain tumors depending on the site of occurrence.

The brain cells are active all the time and they communicate through electrical impulses. EEG is an electrophysiological and noninvasive monitoring technique that is used to record electrical activity of the brain. EEG records the spontaneous electrical activity of the brain by using multiple, small, flat metal discs (electrodes) that are placed on the scalp.

Globally, recent commercialization & expected launch of the targeted-therapy agents in the market, rising incidence of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) due to increasing pollution, and growing adoption of newer agents during the forecast period are likely to drive the market over the coming years.

Maintenance of body temperature within a normal range is a vital for survival of human life. Fluctuation in body temperature is the preliminary symptom of various infectious and metabolic disorders.

The discovery of novel technologies that provide the ability to easily edit genomic acids is the key that has unlocked a new era in therapeutic design. While a number of important questions remain, we believe the potential for enormous improvements in the treatment of many diseases is indisputable and exciting. Molecular scissors technology has the potential to take precision medicine to the next level.

Scars commonly develop in almost every individual’s body. These form naturally as a part of healing process of any wound. Scars commonly occur in the form of acne; however, there are other types of scars experienced by people. These include surgical scars, injury scars, burns or contracture scars, hypertrophic scars, keloid scars, and stretch marks. 

Clinical chemical analyzers include increasing use of devices and reagents for the measurement of varying levels of sugars, proteins, and other components in the blood. Clinical chemistry testing is carried out to detect disease and its stage of progression. In addition, they help accurately determine condition and state of clinical functions, such as liver function, kidney function, nutrition levels, and others.

Rise in geriatric population and increasing incidence of Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), and glaucoma across the globe are anticipated to boost the market during the forecast period. Furthermore, advancements in fundus cameras and commercialization of products are likely to drive the market in the coming years. In December 2016, Epipole Ltd. launched epiCam C, a color hand-held fundus camera, in UK. 

Research data suggests that medical imaging technologies will play a key role in the future of medical diagnostics and therapeutics. Especially, developing economies are expected to lead the demand for medical imaging technologies for efficient treatment and diagnostics of diseases. 

Drug discovery and development is an integral sustainability strategy adopted by pharmaceutical manufacturers. Growing prevalence of chronic and long-term diseases has heightened the need for new drug development via extensive R&D investments.

Some of the most common applications of flow cytometry include immunophenotyping, cell sorting, cell proliferation assays, and intracellular calcium flux. The associated advantages with its usage such as user friendliness, specialized research & clinical applications, and fluorescence capabilities are anticipated to drive the market growth over the forecast period.

Increasing efforts by governments and healthcare agencies to limit the spread of infectious diseases through awareness programs and routine checkup camps. These efforts are resulting in relatively reduced spread of infections. However, usage of NAAT is rapidly increasing with these awareness programs and routine checkup camps. 

Development and commercialization of advanced blood collection & separation products that are more specific and reliable are expected to propel the blood collection market growth. In addition, rising incidence of infectious and noninfectious diseases is likely to boost the market growth over the forecast period from 2016 to 2025. For instance, in the U.S., around 44,073 people were diagnosed with HIV infection in 2014.

Although pregnancy was rife with many risks during earlier times, it has evolved to become a less-complicated procedure due to the advent of modern medicines & technological equipment. Developing countries are overcoming problems such as illiteracy, inadequate infrastructure, and inefficient transport system to reduce the existing high maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality rates.

Pharmaceutical analytical testing outsourcing services market is driven by innovation in pharmaceutical industry, increasing focus on regulatory, safety & quality, end-user volume, and pricing. Various categories of tests which are outsourced include bioanalytical tests, method development & validation, and stability testing.

Medical equipment sterilization is one of the most significant procedures in hospitals, laboratories, and other medical institutions. Hospitals are quite prone to various microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses that can cause serious health complications to patients. With usage of non-sterilized instruments, there is a very high chance of transmission of a disease from one patient to another, leading to various hospital-acquired infections.
